Description

Come experience the many benefits of a hand-drumming meditation practice. If you find sitting in silence and stillness a real challenge, but want to experience the benefits of meditation, this course is for you! Drumming reduces anxiety, improves mood and quiets the busy “monkey mind”. Come prepared to experience a whole lot of joy as we drum, move and release out tension and stress!! This session is perfect for anyone who has been curious about drumming but has been too busy, nervous or timid to give it a try (or maybe you had a bad musical experience and want to start new this fall).

Students will learn basic djembe technique, play beginner African/Latin traditional and popular rhythms, and practice connecting to the beat of the drum through lots of repetition, breath, body scanning, and other meditation techniques.
