One month recently we had over a dozen fire-spinners - what a sight! This is wonderful 'tribal' celebration, with drummers, dancers, fire-performers, and quiet on-lookers. People remark that it's the perfect confluence of the 5 elements - soft sand underfoot (Earth/smell), gently-lapping waves (water/taste), full Moon reflecting the Sun (fire/sight), soft ocean breezes (air/touch), and enchanting rhythms (space/hearing). One reviewer said: 'This is sub-tropical South Florida at its finest.' Please come join us - don't miss this gathering!" - Michael Goodman, event coordinator INFO Dr. Michael Dean Goodman (event coordinator), tantra@..., 561-350-3930 HELD AT The Lake Worth Municipal Beach, just north of the Lake Worth Ocean Pier, at the back of Barton Park, Lake Ave. at A1A, Lake Worth FL DIRECTIONS A.

"We meet in a church, have a spiritually-flavored drum circle, and therefore have a zero tole- rance drug and alcohol scene. We create a safe space for all to enjoy. We know that drum- ming on its own creates a healing, natural vibration, which opens up the 7 chakrs, making them receptive to the healing vibrational therapy administered by Jude and Carlos through their use of Native American frame drums, shamanic-influenced medicinal drum beats, & fragrant herbs. We are successful in cleansing blocking toxins by opening these 7 chakras. All musical instru- ments are welcome, as are all rhythms for our interactive healing musical experience. The vi- tality derived from our vibrational therapy can be felt for up to 72 hours after your first 2-hour experience. This is divinely powerful; don't miss it!" Bring beach chairs or cushions to sit on. Coordinated by: Carlos Manuel Planas and Jude Byrne.

"This does not mean that the drum circles have stopped. They are just not being publicly advertised so widely. People are getting in touch with each other directly and going out to drum at various differ- ent places on Miami Beach on the full Moon eve, the full Moon night, and even the new Moon night." "Sometimes we use the open discussion site [listed below] to coordinate, but mostly we just call each other by phone." For the most up-to-date info on where they plan to gather this month, go to the website/ discussion group below, or contact Mark Richards or any other Miami drummer that is 'in the loop'. [On that website - over the months, 75th St., 79th/80th St., and 85th/86th St. (all at Col- lins/A1A) are the most commonly mentioned locations for this drum circle. 79th St. has been most discussed in the past few months. - Editor] Info: Mark Richards <bloodthump@...>, 786-515-3683 Or subscribe to The Miami Beach Full Moon Drum Circle discussion group: http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MiamiBeachFullMoonDrumCircle Here's a link to a locally produced documentary on the old 85th street drum circle on the beach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdxCMaUpiOI Remember, it can be chilly on the beach during the cooler months - dress accordingly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miami Beach Full Moon NIGHT AFTER Drum Circle TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH TIME UNKNOWN On the night AFTER the full Moon it's unknown if this event is repeating in February.

We got there around 8pm. There was no real space for drummers. The 'fire-pit' was in a little outside alcove where the outside bar was. There was room for maybe 5 or 6 drummers, and it was obvious that the wait-staff would be barging through all the time to fill their bar orders. And then, of course, there were the DJs ('nuff said). We had dinner (which was very good), but we didn't even unpack our drums. Now, that said, the space was very pleasant for dining, and had the potential to be good for a drum jam (but maybe not around the 'fire pit')..." [There may have been drumming later in the evening, but the reviewer left and thus couldn't comment. - Editor] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
