 How
many drummers does it take to raise the roof? There can
never be too many drummers, and the roof is still
strongly attached! Drumming events vary from African and
Native American to Middle Eastern. This picture shows
Matthew Marsolek, one of the famous Drum Brothers, with
a few students. Outside drumming classes are especially
fun. |

This earnest artist joins with
others every Friday morning
for a Life Drawing Class.
The atmosphere is peaceful and contemplative. The
scratching of pastels and charcoal accentuates the
meditative music on the stereo. The outcome is a wide
array of amazing pieces, and very happy artists after
their morning’s work. |

 For
over ten years, Common Ground has welcomed mediation
groups ranging from
Vipassana to Zen, some using visualizations, others
slow-walking in the gardens. The ambiance of this one
acre invites slowing down, keen observation and deep
appreciation. |

 Feel
connected the old fashioned way, through
music and dance. This picture captures the Dances
of Universal Peace, a bimonthly event at the
Center. Local leaders
and live music bring
elder and youthful dancers into harmony. |

| How many yoga classes can
one Center accommodate? As many as there are teachers
to offer them! We have offered Astanga Yoga, Hatha
Yoga, and Gentle Flow Yoga. Our Berber Wool rug offers
a comfy warm floor. The windows look out on wave after
wave of flowers in spring, summer and fall, and birdsong
soothes the ears while relaxing in corpse pose. |
