What we’re about
Rhythm and sound vibration enters our bodies and affects us at the deepest cellular levels. Whether through drumming, singing or the use of healing instruments, we can experience transformation that supports our health and well-being. Deep relaxation, a lowering of blood pressure, a boost to the immune system, mood elevation, a release of emotional tension, a sense of oneness, a sense of community, are all among the many benefits you may receive. The latest brain research demonstrates that the brain literally "lights up" with sound/music vibration!
I welcome you to bring more joy and connection into your life by through my community music-based experiences. Instruments are provided for your use at drum circles (or bring your favorite!) Absolutely no previous experience is necessary to participate in any of my events.
