Buunni Coffee: Earth Drum Circle
We had a glorious time at Earth 🌍 Drum🪘Circle ⭕️ on Saturday, October 26th at Isham Park in Inwood, NYC. Great news everyone, I was able to secure indoor space for November & December at Buunni Coffee (Broadway just South of Isham Street) Thus, the next Earth 🌍 Drum🪘Circle ⭕️ will be on Sunday, November 17th from 1-4 p.m. Yay 😁!!! We look forward to seeing all that can attend! Please chime in as “Going” on the invite page so that we can get a head count. See you then!
Blaze On!
DRAGON 🐉
What to Bring:
Yourself and your percussion instrument(s)🪘and a folding chair 🪑(we drum on the meadow in the shade). Coming to spectate is fine too! Water and snacks are also a good idea for fuel!
Transportation:
A-Train to the Isham Street Station
or
#1 Train to the 215th Street Station
A good way to find your way to where we are with no stairs as carrying heavy instruments up stairs can be problematic is to download the “AllTrails” app (available for iPhone & Android). The app is free unless you want to upgrade to the Pro features. Type in “Isham Park” in the Search field and hit “Navigate”. It will show you exactly where we are and which paths to us have stairs and not via GPS of your current location (very handy anywhere in NYC)!!!
OR
Just walk up the stairs to the main path at either entrance to Isham Park (Broadway just North of Isham Street or at 213th Street) The pin 📌 on the satellite map shows where we will be. Just follow your eyes and ears to the drumming. Please let me know if you can attend! 😉

Hebrew Tabernacle: Tomo Mori – collage artist & Elddry Castillo – poet
The Armin and Estelle Gold Wing art gallery’s Nov, Dec 2024/Jan 2025 solo exhibition features:
Tomo Mori – collage artist – Water Connects The Seven Seas.
and Elddry Castillo – poet
Tomo is a local artist who has been recognized nationally and internationally.
Her fabric collage series utilizes mosaic-like techniques using paint and fabric. Hundreds of squares reminiscent of digital pixels compose an aggregate like a living organism.
She states: I restore my inner balance by an almost ritual-like creative process, praying to heal and reconnect a world that is broken in so many places.
You can see more of her work at tomomoriart.com, but to witness it in person is inspirational.
Elddry is a Dominican-American-New Yorker, a parent and grandparent, teacher, published author, painter and poet. Wales9071@gmail.com
The Gold Wing art gallery is wheelchair accessible. Admission is free. All are welcome.
Hours are M,W,F from 9:30 -4:45 and by appointment.
