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 NEW: Photos of the Feb. 2009 full Moon drum circle, taken by David J.

Hollywood Beach Full Moon Drum Circle NEW LOCATION! MONDAY, MARCH 9TH 7:00-11:00PM (the night BEFORE the full Moon) Held monthly near the full Moon night Free "Due to the noise of the Hollywood Beach Bandshell, and advice I received from a fellow drummer, I thought it would be a good idea to move the full Moon circle further down the beach. The management at Ocean's Eleven On The Beach was kind enough to let us drum right across the boardwalk from their establishment! They will also allow us to use their restrooms and park in their lot for free. In return for their kindness, I would advise at least purchasing a soda to show some love." - Kirsten "Bring your children, any instrument, and good vibes! The weather is going to be gorgeous, so let's drum, dance & jam under the beautiful Moon!" - Kirsten Info: Kirsten Porter-McLaughlin <naughtygirl.k@...>, 651-808-3400, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SouthFloridaDrumCircles Held at: The beach, Scott St. and North Surf Rd., across the boardwalk from Ocean's Eleven on the Beach, Hollywood FL Directions: From Sheridan St., go south on A1A, turn left on Scott St., park in the big lot on the right, next to Ocean's Eleven.

"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. Info: Carlos: 305-331-1025, carlosdrums@...; Jude: 305-812-5473, info@..., www.awesomeheartbeat.com Held at: Unity on the Bay Church, 411 NE 21st St., Miami FL, near Biscayne Bay Directions: 1.

"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 EVE Drum Circle MONDAY, MARCH 9TH 8:30PM TILL AROUND 1:00AM Held monthly on the night BEFORE the full Moon Free Held at: Please read the discussion about the Miami Beach Full Moon Drum Circle above.

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] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raks Chakra - March Full Moon Jam Session MONDAY-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9TH-11TH 9:00PM-2:00AM A one-time, non-repeating event - held for 4 nights around the March full Moon "Let's get together to dance and drum under the full Moon."
