A hand drum with an expanding swirl tattoo: More specifically, a Djembe drum.
Back in 2001, Djembefola stumbled (literally) into drumming as a hobby. Djembefola came across a parade of 300 kids led by a guy playing one of these African drums. Djembefola was mesmerized and jumped right in to march along. Djembefola took a couple of lessons and were totally hooked. Djembefola learned to teach so that they could grow playmates. Before long Djembefola had started a community interest group that is still meeting to this day.
In 2009 Djembefola left a full-time job to embrace this hobby-turned-sidehustle as a full time gig: a professional facilitator of interactive rhythm experiences. Djembefola now leads drumming programs in corporations, congregations, communities, and classrooms. Programs focused on connection, culture, wellness. Programs based in indigenous wisdom traditions and ancient practices about how we as a modern society can better live, work and play well together. Programs designed to connect people to one another and to the world around them.
Djembefola‘s tattoo is a promise in being: a promise to themselves and to all that they will show up sending out this positive vibration, a promise to foster rhythm and harmony, a promise that no matter what, wherever they are, in their presence life will show as an invitation to connect to the One. For drummers, the one is the start of the pattern, the beginning of the cycle, the place where we lock in as an ensemble. For spirit-seekers, the One is the universal oneness, the divine in and round us all, the idea of unity and togetherness. Djembefola‘s tattoo is a reminder that this is how they are supposed to be showing up in the world for the sake of us all.
