Creating Space

On Thursday night I attended my Christmas party for work. It is a great time to interact with co-workers and have a meal together in a festive atmosphere. This year we did something very different. As a surprise, the evening started out with all 35 of us participating in a drumming circle. Most of us have probably never drummed ever, but we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. What a fantastic activity to be able to take part in! There were a number of different exercises that we were taken through and my favorite was the conversation through drumming that we all participated in. When a group of people create a conversation with drums, each person must create space while drumming for the next person to join the conversation. Something I think we should carry over and be mindful of in our lives every day.

Conversation is not just about talking, it is also about creating space for others to join in!

Namaste
