During that silence, I thank the Spirits and helpers who have come to me. Then, we close by singing a soul song. There are eight people in my circle. This includes clearing, journeying, sharing, and lots of laughing. It is important to remember that the work you do, though sacred, is by all means not solemn.
Spirits have a wicked sense of humor.
They're not deadly serious and you shouldn't be either. Have fun and enjoy the work you do. If your group becomes large, then the group should decide if clearing is wanted, and how the sharing will be done, as everyone may not be able to share. What you have just read is not meant to be a guide of the do's and don'ts of beginning a drumming circle. It is meant to show you that having a circle is not difficult.
