Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Sam. I live with my husband and 2 children in a small town in Illinois. We are artist with big plans of starting self sustaining artist co op in the future. Spring is her and is a busy time for us, as I am sure it is for all of you. Our seeds will be planted for our garden soon. I am so excited to see their faces  Also we started a community drum circle a few years back, and our first circle is next month. I am just amazed at the power of drumming and how if brings people of all ages together. Excitement is in bloom :) Hope your day is blissful.

Welcome Sam, we are glad you joined us! I am learning to play the irish bohdran drum...a drum circle sounds awesome. What part of IL are you in?
I am in Southern Wisconsin.
The irish bohdran, how exciting. I have never played one, but we have had a few people bring them to the drum circle. They seem like they are very fun to play.... We are 45 mins south of Chicago. If your ever in our neck of the woods stop by a drum circle :)

Hello Sam...OMGosh, I can't believe you mentioned Drumming! I had to put a be-loved house-pet to sleep yesteday and I listened to "Sacred Spirits-Yeha Noha", "Drum Medinine- David & Steve Gordon", and Robert Tree Cody-flutist all day....because they are such a Great comfort to me in sad times. It's a very Spiritual walk for me. Welcome to MJFarmgirls....where abides a great number of Spiritual & Savvy women! You've going to love it here.These women will help you any way they can...a Great bunch of gals!
I am sorry to hear about your beloved pet. Its amazing how animals just doing what they do can have such a tremendous impact on our hearts.. Drumming is so very healing, It reaches us at our very core.. Best wish to you in this transition time.

Hello from MN! Sounds like you have great plans. I've never tried drumming, but it sounds powerful!! Glad you're here. By the way - love the lantern on your website!!
Thanks so much. We started making the lanterns and putting them throughout our house and lighting them at night instead of using electricity. It gives the house such calm serene atmosphere, and keeps our electricity bills down. :)
I hope you have an opportunity to try a drum circle, especially outside. One feels quite in tuned with nature. :)

Welcome to the forum from another artist from Eastern Washington. What type of art do you do? A drumming circle sounds fantastic.
How exciting. What kind of art do you do? I would love to see some. I am all over the place with my art. I do visual art; photography, drawing, decoupage, mask making and some painting. I also do performance art; dancing and fire spinning. Can't forget music making, I would not consider myself a musician, but I can make some pretty noise :)
