DRUM & SOUND HEALING
SUNDAY JANUARY 12TH @ 2PM
Working with sound in a healing way helps to explore and express what you're feeling through active meditation. We will be using frame drums (but any drum will do) as well as connecting with other forms of sound healing. We are built for sound, since we are made up of 70% water. Drumming not only awakens the spirit, it integrates the nervous system through vibration and allows us to activate a state where we can rest, digest, and heal.
All donations benefit a local charity.
