I have begun to experiment using a hand drum in group meetings, in the men’s group and in volunteer work I do with immigrants. The idea is to get each person to “talk” through the drum, and not use words. Also makes it easier in case English is not their best language.
It is great fun. It also works. It also is surprising what comes out in the drumming.
Here is a quote from an American program about drumming:
“We don’t play the drum or beat the drum, we drum a steady beat that brings our heart in tune with the creator,” said Larry “Grizz” Brown, lead ceremonial drummer and descendant of the Cherokee and Creek Native American tribes. It’s not just something you hear, it is something you feel deep within your soul.”

I like the misty landscape on top.. Is that a stone woman sitting down on the right.. Johan
Yes, I would guess. I actually don’t know where the photo was taken. It’s “probably” from the state of Washington, on the American Northwest coast.
