TRIBAL BONFIRE DRUM CIRCLE / PARTY / DANCE / POTLUCK

SATURDAY, JULY 25TH, 7pm-1am
(ALWAYS HELD ON THE LAST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH! - except December when it shifts a few days to New Year's Eve.)
$5 admission per person to cover expenses.
ENJOY FOUR GREAT EVENTS ROLLED INTO ONE!
(1) BONFIRE TRIBAL DRUMMING & DANCING CIRCLE
Held outside - around the fire circle
• 9:00pm: brief drum lesson to get the drumming started
• 9:00pm-midnight: Community drum circle
(Out of respect for our neighbors we stop outside noise at midnight - and move the festivities inside.)
• DRUM JAM: GREAT LIVE RHYTHMS - African, Latin, Middle-Eastern, Native American, World, Tribal
• RADIANT DANCERS - bellydancers, free-form dancers, contact dancers, trance-dancers. Enjoy a loving, appreciative atmosphere in which to let
the rhythms move you!
• PERFORMERS - we welcome fire-performers, poi-twirlers, etc.
• PROFESSIONAL BODY PAINTER - Carl Flick can be seen creating unique, one-of-a-kind creations at Fantasy Fest in Key West, Burning Man
events in Florida, Biker Nights in Lake Worth, and many private events. He is also a professional photographer. Carl is very sensitive to your limits,
and offers various options of body exposure or cover-up. See his work at carlflick.com/bodypainting, my.opera.com/CAFlick/blog/,
www.modelmayhem.com/533915, or bodypaintingbyflick.wordpress.com/
• CELESTIAL CIRCLE - 8000 lights twinkling in the trees
• BRING - Something to sit on for the drum circle (chair, stool, blanket); your drums
• IN CASE OF RAIN - the drumming is moved indoors - THE PARTY CONTINUES!
(2) HOUSE PARTY & POTLUCK FEAST
Held inside the house: 7pm-1am (all night!)
• POTLUCK FEAST - bring something to share (main dish, dessert, or beverage) if you want to partake
• GREAT CONVERSATION - satsang with conscious people
• SING-ALONG at the piano - oldies, folk, Broadway, rock, spiritual, pop - make requests, bring music, sing & play along
• PERFORMANCES - bring your instrument or voice & entertain
• READINGS - we welcome card readers, energy readers, etc.
• MASSAGE/HEALING EXCHANGES on our massage table
• HENNA ARTIST (special, inexpensive pricing at our event)
(3) PARTNER DANCE
Held inside, in the 'yoga room': 7-9pm
• PARTNER DANCING - on our wood dance floor (Latin, ballroom, swing, disco, tango)
No partner needed - we switch around
Please bring comfortable dancing shoes: not recommended are:
(1) sandals & open-back shoes - your feet can slip out and you could hurt yourself;
(2) gripping rubber soles - you'll try to spin but your shoes will resist & you'll hurt yourself.
• GREAT DJ'd MUSIC - music that won't let you stay seated
• 7:30PM MINI-LESSON to help you find your groove
(4) THE 'PARTY AFTER THE PARTY'
Birthday Celebrations, Performances, Jam
Held inside, in the 'yoga room': midnight-1am
When the outdoor circle ends, the inside celebration begins!
• BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - for anyone with a 'nearby' birthday
• MUSIC/DANCE PERFORMANCES - great local/visiting artists
• MUSIC & DANCE JAM
• PERSONAL CONNECTION - some people say the intimate, loving, spiritual atmosphere of these late-night celebrations is their favorite part of the
evening! Stay and see why.

NEW PARKING INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
1. 1st 30 cars - park in our front & back yards (on the grass).
If you know you're staying late, please pull forward & let someone who's leaving earlier park behind you.
Please do not park in either driveway - leave those free for people to get in and out of the parking spaces (on the grass).
2. After our yard is full, please DO NOT park on our street (Park Ln.)
The neighbors have been complaining to the City. The street is not wide enough for 2-way traffic when cars are parked on the street. To continue
having the drum circle parties, we promised the City the following parking changes:
3. First, drop off heavy objects (drums, food, etc.) - temporarily pull into our front driveway (marked with "loading zone" signs).
4. Then move your car out of the loading zone & park:
a. 1st - park on both the east & west sides of Concord (the next street east of Park Ln., runs north off Belvedere Rd.) This area holds 30 cars.
b. 2nd - park on the south side of Charlotte (the 1st street intersecting Concord). Don't park in front of the homes on the north side. This area
holds 22 cars.
c. On both of these streets -
• Park on wide grass shoulders - not on the pavement. That way you won't impede 2-way traffic.
• Adjacent to the grass shoulders there are no homes to be bothered. Don't park in front of any homes.
• Angle park (pull in nose first) - do not parallel park.
• It's a 3-minute walk to our home - shorter than parking way down our street (Park Ln.) as many people often had to. Plus the walk is safe &
well-lit.
d. When both those streets are full, park in the parking lot of the Abundant Life Church on the SE corner of Belvedere Rd. and Haverhill Rd., 1/2 city
block west of our street (Park Ln.), with its entrance on Belvedere Rd.
Please honor their space - leave no trash, make no noise coming or leaving.
5. Of course, when parking anywhere, be smart - don't leave valuables sitting in plain view - hide them.
6. Please don't pull into any neighbors' driveways or yards to turn around, especially late at night when leaving. The activity, and bright lights shining in
their windows, disturb and frighten them, and they complain to the City.
DRESS
Everything from casual to dress-up to fantasy is appropriate. For example, some women wear shorts, some wear dresses, some wear 'goddess-outfits' or fantasy-wear, some wear bellydance or other costumes. A few bold folks let the professional body painter decorate them. Dress in whatever makes you feel great & special!
CHILDREN
This is an adult event - 18 years old and above please.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is welcome, as long as you follow these guidelines:
1. If someone requests not to be photographed, please immediately honor their request.
2. Be discrete with flash photos around the drum circle - don't disrupt the atmosphere.
3. If you plan to post photos to the internet, please contact us (your hosts) to discuss what info to include (or not) about the party and the individuals
photographed.
4. As a courtesy please e-mail copies of your better photos, full-sized, to us (your hosts) with permission for us to use them for publicity.
