Totem To Tem Drum Circle to Go

Every first Thursday of the month, 7:00pm - 9:00pm.
At A Step Forward LLC  Candia, New Hampshire

Led by: Lon Michael Jackman  - Musician/Healer

Open To Beginners - If you have your own drums bring them- If not we will supply them.

 What Makes Drum Circle to Go unique:
Drum circle to go doesn't require the mastery of an instrument, but the open mind of connecting with people that come in all different levels of movement, sound and rhythm. Remember all humans have an instilled rhythm within us and when processed properly we manifest insecurity into security through rhythm or dance, through channeling song. Each circle that gathers, a different and new song evolves from the variation of people that the circle welcomes. Drum Circle to Go opens in collaboration with any percussion instrument and can provide up to 32 percussion instruments myself depending on pre-registration, relating the 32 drums to the 32 energy centers on the human body, also relating the 32 notes of music to theory and in relationship with the 32 colors that we as humans offer up in spirit.

  • Drum circle to Go starts with a grounding chant of the seven major chakras and an overview of the energy centers that when properly tuned create a grounding affect, a calming vibration, that will adjust the human body to perform.

     

  • Then Drum Circle to Go does an overview of area’s on the human body that store most problems that can be changed if an individual allows them self to detach from the problematic energy blocks that may be effecting  the drummer.

  • Then Drum Circle ends in the writing of song, through which ever medium of music that we evoke.  Not one Circle is the same and they have constantly evolved.

    Energy Exchange $20.  Discounts Available if you pay in advance for sessions.  Registration In Advance Necessary

Lon M. Jackman Bio: I am part Native American, (Klamath) from Oregon. I have my Masters in Mental Health and I work in substance abuse as a Counselor. I have been performing music now for over 20 years but Drum Circle to Go, like all circles; form a bond with more than one. The more the higher the power becomes, opens my own mind beyond anything that I previously learned in the last 20 years of performance.  Drum Circle to Go started in August of 2008 as a community based project to help people with the many stressors that life can carry. Drum circle to Go also has become an effective way to combat the complications of mental health by teaching people how to use their own bodies as an instrument, like I stated the more instruments, the stronger the power becomes and the more healing happens.  I call this a power greater than one. Drum Circle to Go has collaboratively worked with over 5500 people, working together towards a higher purpose to eliminate stressor's and provide grounding techniques for our bodies that most of us need. These circles help because we are all leading stressful lives because and we never know what tomorrow will bring.

The Alexander Technique

Next Workshop Date To Be Announced Soon

The Alexander Technique is not so much something you learn as something you unlearn.  It is a method of releasing unnecessary muscular tension throughout your body which has accumulated over many years of stressful living.  This excess tension often starts in childhood and, if carried through to adulthood, can lead to many common ailments.

Who Can Benefit From This Workshop?

·        People suffering from Tension and Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Back Pain or Neck Pain.   Parents who pick up children or do housework.  Everyone!!!

  • Professions such as dentists, carpenters, computer operators, domestic cleaners: any occupations that can cause bad postural habits.
  • Athletes, musicians, dancers, and actors: professionals that need to use their bodies well.

 

In This Session We Will Discuss:

  • Balance, posture and coordination
  • How the head leads all movement.
  • Why Our shoulders become permanently hunched or our necks become stiff.
  • Why we sit either slumped or hold ourselves in a very rigid fashion. 
  • How to let go of harmful tension so the mind quiets down and our senses become more acute just as they were in childhood. 
  • How to stop and think before reacting allowing you to take better responsibility and control of your life.
  • How to recognize areas of tension and develop a new way of thinking that will restore the body to its natural coordinated state.
  • Through various activities including chair work and lying on a table, the teacher’s hands transmit information to the client that restores integration and coordination of the mind/body relationship.  A Demonstration of this will be provided in this workshop.

$20 Energy Exchange.  Advance Registration Suggested - Class Size Limited

Instructor:

Carol Kenney is a graduate of the Dimon Institute of the Alexander Technique in Somerville, Mass.  She has been a certified teacher by the American Society of the Alexander Technique since 2001.  She also holds an AA in Arts from Rivier College in Nashua, NH.
