Drumming is one of the oldest forms of connection as human beings. For thousands of years, drums have been honored as sacred tools for communication, healing, celebration, and ceremony. The heartbeat of the drum helps us listen more deeply, feel a sense of community, and discover new ways of expressing ourselves. Drum circles create safe spaces for people of all ages to express creativity, create music, move their body.  Drumming supports the body’s natural ability to relax, restore balance, and heal through the powerful effects of endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin and more.

The djembe, which comes from West Africa, carries a special tradition: it’s said to unify the spirit of the tree (wood), the goat (skin), and the human (hands and heart). That sacred bond gives the drum its magic. All over the world in various cultures, different forms of drums have been created and used for it's versatile healing properties.  When facilitating circles, I do so with reverence for their roots and traditions. My intention is always to honor the cultures they come from, while creating experiences that bring people together
