Kinnect invites you to the

Wild Heart
Drum Circle

Community Drum Circle • Movement • Celebration

July 18, 2026 | 4:00pm-8:00pm
Luna Bee Farm
Lake Barrington, IL 60010


There is a rhythm inside of you —
ancient, untamed,
and waiting to be remembered.

This is your invitation to gather under the warmth of the summer sun — to celebrate life, joy, and the wild freedom of being fully alive.To drum. To dance. To release. To come home to your body.Together, we'll co-create a space where nothing is expected of you… and everything is welcome. Where your energy, your voice, your movement — all belong.This is a celebration. This is a prayer. This is a remembering.


A Summer Solstice-inspired gathering rooted in
connection, expression, and community.

✦ DRUM · DANCE · RELEASE · REMEMBER ✦

What We'll Experience Together

We'll begin by arriving together — grounding into the space and setting intention as a collective. From there, you're free to follow what feels good in your body.

Community Drum Circle

Facilitated by Nancy Frenk, facilitator for more than 30 years, we'll use rhythm as a way to connect — both within ourselves and with each other. The drum doesn't ask for skill. It only asks you to show up. No experience needed.

Guided Movement Journey

This is your space to move freely, release energy, and let your body lead. Not choreography — an invitation. However you move is exactly right.



Self-Expression Stations

For those called to create rather than move: body adornment with tattoo markers, a crown-making station, and space to explore your individuality in a playful, low-pressure way. Your expression, your rules.


Nourishment

Light, nourishing snacks will be available throughout the day to keep you grounded and energized. Add on at registration or purchase on-site.





What to Expect

  • A welcoming, judgment-free environment where every woman is received exactly as she is

  • No pressure to participate in anything that doesn't feel aligned — follow your body's yes

  • A balance of guided facilitation and free-flow experience throughout the day

  • Opportunities for both deep connection and personal space

  • Music, movement, creativity, and shared energy

  • Kinnect's signature Heart-to-Heart hug at the door — you'll know you're home

  • Women ages 25+ — a space designed for depth, play, and real sisterhood

Come as you are. Leave with more space in your body, more breath in your chest, and a deeper kinnection to yourself and each other.

Upcoming Events

Rage & Release
May 2, 2026 10am-1pm

Emotions are energy in motion. When anger and frustration have nowhere to go, they can become stuck inside us. Join us at a local gym where a personal trainer will guide us through boxing and physical exercises to safely release stress and move energy through the body. Together we’ll create a supportive space to witness each other’s fire—and the compassion and joy that can rise once it’s moved.
Registration Open Now

Rhythm Summer Celebration
July 18, 2026

Join us for a vibrant summer gathering of rhythm and connection. In this female-led community drum circle, you’ll be invited to drum, dance, or simply witness and soak in the collective energy as we create music together. Come celebrate the season, express yourself through rhythm, and connect with other women in a playful and uplifting space.
