Here's a collection of songs that we've created and shared in our drumming circle.  We offer them here in hopes that other circles will incorporate them into your earth-honoring ceremonies, celebrations, and healing work.

We have grouped the songs according to how we use them (for example, opening and closing the circle). 

We offer these songs through a Creative Commons license.  You are free to download and use them for non-commercial purposes. If you have a commercial use in mind, contact us for permission: renayount9[at]gmail.com

 Here's a songbook with sheet music and lyrics.  We'd enjoy hearing how you're using these songs.  The songs are by Rena Yount unless otherwise noted.
