MUSIC FLOWS THROUGH YOU
A Circle Experiential Weekend
Heartbeat of the Drum – Sacred Breath Flute

Potter’s Farm; 75900 Potters Farm Rd, Washburn WI 54891
Early Bird Registration: $25 less if registered and $150 deposit by August 15

Let the music flow through you. Explore and expand your
musical connection in community with two deeply ancient
earth instruments: the djembe drum and the Native American
woodland flute.

We are honored to have both

John Sarantos and Chris Berry offer their teaching
wisdom and musical energy to the people and the
land.

Everyone, from novice to experienced player, is invited
to join us in music circles. Bring your own djembe drum
or woodland flute or you can take advantage of a
generously discounted offer to purchase your own
flute or rent a djembe drum for the weekend.

Near the shores of Lake Superior in the Bayfield Peninsula,
we’ll gather on the naturally inspiring sacred lands of
Potter’s Farm, outside of Washburn, Wisconsin.
Walk the Beauty Way through the labyrinth in
silence upon the high meadow, or hike the back trails
near our Medicine Wheel. The land offers many natural
meditation areas as well.

This is extraordinary for us all to have two such talented
master teachers in this wonderful format and setting.
Our capacity is limited so register early to assure
your place in the circle.

We were blown away with the power of the drum, the gentleness of the flute and one's spiritual connection with the elements in this weekend in the sweet meadows and woods of northern Wisconsin. If you EVER get a chance to learn with Chris Berry, it's an opportunity NOT to be missed.

Hi Cathy, the camping option breaks down as follows, as we accommodate anyone who asks:
Teachers: $125
Food: $30
Camping 2 nights: $70
The camping fee is set by the retreat center to support the use of its facilities. The event is set up to support community, give the most time one can have with the teachers, and have great, healthy food prepared for us that we share together in community. The camping is two restful areas to put up our tents and sleep; it's not a campground set up to have individual cooking fires/stoves. One could cook their own food near the barn, but not at their private campsite (fire hazard).

Both teachers are top notch and greatly reduced their normal fee for this particular weekend since it's our first time planning this sort of event. Sorry you can't make it this time.
