“One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people’s consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain and the nervous system are energized and transformed…. It’s really the oldest holy communion.” – Layne Redmond, author of When the Drummers Were Women
As we enter our third year of drumming in community, please join us for a 2-week Introductory Wisdom Frame Drum zoom circle on Fridays: January 23 and February 13, from 10:00-11:15 am ET.
It’s easy and fun! We will learn:
- Simple rhythms in the upright and lap style methods set to wisdom chants.
- Ancient Middle Eastern rhythms such as Maqsoum, Ayub, Saidi, Masmoudi and more.
- Tips for your drum practice, warm-up, learning a simple rhythm with a wisdom chant, learning a world rhythm and playing it to music.
After completing this 2-week course, you may also join our monthly Frame Drum Circle to practice your techniques and meet fellow wisdom drummers.
