Drumming Circle
A drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle . Other instruments and dance can also be incorporated into the drum circle. They are distinct from a drumming group or troupe in that the drum circle is an end in itself rather than preparation for a performance.
In 1991, during testimony before the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging , Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart stated:
"Typically, people gather to drum in drum "circles" with others from the surrounding community. The drum circle offers equality because there is no head or tail. It includes people of all ages. The main objective is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. To form a group consciousness. To entrain and resonate. By entrainment, I mean that a new voice, a collective voice, emerges from the group as they drum together. "

Hiking
Explore and celebrate nature with easy to moderate hikes in the Sandias and surrounding wilderness areas.  Hikes will be on the 2nd Saturday of each month year round and the 2nd & 4th Saturdays during the months from  June-September. The only requirements are plenty of water, good shoes and a sense of adventure.
