The Current Healing Arts

Music is a universal experience. We all catch ourselves singing along to a song we love that has special meaning. Native American drumming presentation allows an audience to be exposed to an ancient culture and time-honored tradition of the Native American people.
The program begins by speaking on the importance of drumming and the ethics of drumming. This explanation is goal oriented as to help the audience understand that the drum is more than an instrument.
Each song will teach its foundation and the spiritual significance of the song. Bearing in mind that many songs in the modern area have become intertribal. Intertribal basically means that it is used by several tribes using different styles of singing and drumming.

Justin from The Saving Light will lead us in this drum circle to build spiritual community through drumming.
When we come together as a collective and harmonize within, something beautiful happens and ignites our souls.

Before every circle we will open the sacred circle with group clearing and offerings to the Ascended Masters and grounding meditation to center within. Participants will be invited to share their experience.

Bring your own instruments. We have mats and some chairs but bring whatever you need to be comfortable.
