Also - gay dudes welcome - it's just not a dating group. I've always wanted a poker group, but don't play poker. A drum circle without the …

… It’s a highly accessible practice; once you learn it, you can do it almost anywhere (the practice is typically done to the sound of a rhythmic drum beat, which helps to induce a slightly altered state; however, many people find they can also journey in silence, or with a drumming CD, or by shaking a rattle -- or even shaking a makeshift rattle, like a tic-tac box or aspirin bottle!)
