Why circles?

Circle is an ancient form connecting us with another. Frame drum is also a circle form where there is no beginning or end. Where there is no superiority or inferiority. Playing frame-drum in circles has both in one. That is its alchemy with unique magnetic experience.

Why Frame Drum Circles?

Playing frame drums is a part of my healing journey. When i was a kid and suffering from epilepsy attacks, playing frame drum soothed me and healed my epilepsy completely at the age of 13.

While holding a rhythmical space; the conscious mind is occupied with securing that space while higher consciousness and subconscious mind can communicate directly. It is a true blessing. Maybe that is the reason frame-drum is so ancient. It is a shamanic vehicle for entering different realms. Circle is a sacred form that reminds us we are all ONE. Circle of frame drum and circle of us human coming together is true sacred experience for me.

I am hosting frame drum (bendir) and singing circles with invocation, meditation, voice discovery and songs from sufi or/and indigenous cultures.

I am also contributing other circles with my frame drum. I hope we meet in some of these circles one day.
