A multi-part introduction to the some many and varied traditions and techniques that make up the rich tapestry of percussion that is an integral part of ritual and ceremony throughout the world.

A few instruments may be available, but do bring your kit!

Following sessions are scheduled for the 2nd Sunday of the Month.

The workshops and circles will be held at Magickal Realms in City Island, NYC.

We are requesting pass-the-hat donations — for gas money and keepin' the lights on at MR. Kick in what you can!

You do not need to attend all the sessions, each unit is intended to be directly accessible, but material will build on content in each topic session. So just like real life, the more you attend the more you'll learn!

Hope to see many of you there.

Blessings • Mitaquye Oyasin • Namaste • Shalom • A Salaam Alikum • Ashe!
