Throughout time and prominent in many cultures, the drum is a sacred instrument used to connect to the Spirit world, the inner self, and the world around us. The drum has a special ability to touch, deeply, the inner prayer inside each individual’s heart.

We invite all to join us during the new moon to experience traditions from around the world sharing their sacred drum inheritance. Through the beats participants will be guided through a journey of the heart, spiraling vibrations of love deep into the earth and high into the heart of the universe. Please bring your open heart and open mind so the ancient rhythms can plant good seeds into you life.

Cost: $15-$20
