Bio- Earth Rhythms has been facilitating Drum Circles for greater than 8 years and are an eclectic group of drummers lead by Merlin. The energy from the earth and sky feed the sacred fire, which energizes and feeds the rhythms of the drummers who feed energy to the other participants who feed the earth and sky, and so the circle continues a deeply spiritual union between all who participate.

High Priest and Priestess, Lord Koshu Rhythm Talker and Lady Luna Sophia, founded MMC in 2001. They began their dedication to the Goddess in the mid 80’s and became members of TUUC and Council members of GSG in the late 90’s. Koshu and Luna host year and a day classes, open circles, hand fasting rites, Croning, Saging, initiations, elevations, other rights of passage and an annual Mid Summer Bash on their land.
