Workshops
  • Rhythm and Drumming for adults and children – Drum technique, listening skills, cultural aspects, how to drum with other drummers, creating polyrhythms – all geared to participants’ musical level. Drums include Dumbek, Conga(s), and Djembe. Students will learn how to interlock and layer rhythms as well as technique and rhythms on hand percussion.
  • Drum circles – Focuses on both group connection and individual self-expression using the drums and vocals. We work together to create a supportive environment in which to explore and experiment with our creative edges.
  • The Rhythmic Body – For those willing to be playful and change their perceptions of physical coordination, learning to inhabit their bodies following rhythmic patterns. This work is a form of active meditation, in that it requires the participant to be fully present. We use voice and body percussion, sound and movement to invoke a celebration of the spirit.
  • Singing from the Heart – Chanting, toning, and singing in a group setting with guided improvisation, creating a vocal orchestra.
  • Sound Meditation – This workshop teaches breathing and vocal techniques combined with Chi Kung, rhythm, imagery and movement.
  • Open Voice/Open Heart – Components of the workshops above are combined to include breathwork, sound exploration, and celebration of the voice and body.

    All workshops provide a play-centered environment for creative exploration and deepening spirituality, tapping into our primal sources.
