Mindful Drumming
NOTE: Monthly Mindful Drumming sessions are closed at this time.
Rhythm, sound, and vibration are used as a powerful form of meditation that helps clear the mind and heal the heart; creating a rhythmic space in a drum circle, bringing individuals together in a collective journey to a higher level of life energy, and aiding the art of community building.
What is Mindful Drumming?
Mindful Drumming is rooted in modern thought, Eastern spiritual principles, and ancient indigenous wisdom. Drawing upon the twin concepts of rhythm and sound, Mindful Drumming is a way to connect straight to the heart. Mindful Drumming is revealed through ancestral portals of the indigenous Ga people of West Africa. The ancient art of synchronistic rhythms and sounds can be used for healing and for unleashing the spirit of human potential.
