We Came! We Drummed! We got wet in the River!
One of Four Quarters best kept secrets. Since our beginning ten years ago there has been a Drum Circle at Four Quarters. And as the years have gone by, we have learned and grown, and our experience of Fire, Drum and Dance has grown too.
We have come to understand that Fire Circle is Sacred Space, just as is the Circle cast during a Full Moon Service. If we go about creating this space in a good way, we make a place of respect and of safety. Where the Drum supports the Dancers, where the Dancers feed the Fire and the Fire feeds us all. And inside this torchlit Circle real magic can and does happen, we can step out of the ordinary and into ourselves.
Fire Circle at Four Quarters is the beating heart of our community, something precious that glows the brighter as it is shared. We hope you will join us as we ride the Spirit of the Drum.
Yes, Drum and Splash is all about the Drum and the River, but it is much more too. Because the Drum builds Community in a way that has to be experienced. But you do not need to be a drummer to Drum and Splash. Don't even need a drum. Your hands and feet will take care of the rest.
For five days we create a village in the woods around a Stone Circle, with lots to do...
The Land is solace itself, listed as the most valuable and ecologically diverse tract in Bedford County by the Western Pennsylvania Nature Conservancy. The Hemlock Hole is a spectacular natural swimming area shadowed by our cliffs.
Performances in the Upper Drum Circle at sundown every night. Children hold the place of honor here. And as the night deepens and the kids fall asleep, the serious drumming begins. And even later in the night, Pure Magic!
The Coffee Dragons! Early morning through late at night serving free coffee, tea and cocoa from their pavilion on the High Meadow. Sit for a spell. Play a guitar. Take a nap.
Down Beat in the Lower Drum Circle. A place for the spaces between the notes. Softer. By the River.
The Masters Classes. Intensive free and fee paid workshops for the serious drummer and dancer.
The Starvin' Artist's Pig Pickin' Party and Vegi Extravaganza.
Major Ceremony within the Circle of Standing Stones. A time to touch and honour the Spirit of the Drum and our place in the Web.
Fireworks and Dragon Dance. Our Chinese Dragon and escort of Fire Artists. It's your parade!
Then... A Drum Circle to the Stars. We light the fuse and watch it soar!
Children Under 16 are Loved, Cherished and FREE!
