A drum circle has been on my BucketList for quite a while. I just loved the idea of pounding in unison to make something beautiful! And wouldn’t ya know – I walked into a ballroom at the Four Seasons during the lululemon Manger’s Conference to see a stage of drummers with a wee drum at everyone’s seat. A DREAM COME TRUE, yet again!
(apologies for the poor quality - but you get the awesomeness, yah?!)
For a solid hour: we beat, we sang, we snapped and clapped; we cheered, we listened, we laughed – we made music, together. It was absolutely hilarious, totally fun and even inspired some sweat-flow! Our leader told us that the sounds of a drum travel faster in Africa than information travels on high speed internet – so it was therefore a tool of communication. He told us that music brings people together to laugh and to dance – making it a gift. He told us that drumming gives us a voice – no matter how big or how small – as a universal language that we all can speak.
My favorite buddy Christa & I - bangin'!
And the man who created the company of possibilities, who knows better than anyone I’ve ever met to beat to his own drum…
He was so happy and too busy smiling to follow the instructions!
(Yes, it’s true, I do work for the coolest company in the world. It’s a fact.)
This sounds like the most incredible idea! What a great way to bring people together! You are very lucky to work for such a cool, innovative and creative company
thumbs up all around!
