Earth Beat Circle North is a sister group of Earth Beat Circle South. Earth Beat Circle is a Drumming and Meditation Circle started in Temecula, CA. It was started by a group that wanted to dedicate prayer and meditation in the traditional Native American Path. The group was led and facilitated by the former Pechanga Tribe Chief, Vince. When Gaia Terri Vacek moved to Northern California five years ago, she wanted to carry on the tradition here. With the approval from one of the elders of the Southern California Earth Beat Circle, North was formed.

The group is a tribal drumming group requiring no experience; just the desire to connect to Spirit using drums, rattles, or any other percussion instrument as a form of prayer and meditation. Earth Beat Circle North meets at Earth Touch Wellness Center in Benicia, CA on the Saturday closest to the Full Moon at 7:00 which is the exact same time as Earth Beat Circle South. We join together to send prayers to Spirit as one unified group.

The group leader is Gaia Terri Vacek, owner and founder of Earth Touch Wellness Center and Earth Touch Wisdom Center in Benicia, CA. Visit her websites at EarthTouchHealing.com and EarthTouchWisdom.ning.com.

Bring your drums and rattles and join us for the Drumming Circles at 12:30 and 2:30 on the patio.
