Beginning Frame Drum, Music Explorium Community Room, pre-registration needed. Now expanding to 6 classes! This series is designed for those who've never drummed before, and is also valuable for those who haven't drummed for a while and want a safe, gradual way to get back in the flow. Plus, it's just so much fun to drum with others and make rhythmic music together! Link here for more information. Cost is $15 per individual class, or all 6 classes for $75 if paid by July 18. Loaner Tars are available, or bring your own. To register, email Farrunnissa with your name, phone number, and whether you'd like to borrow drums (first come, first served).

Cost is $20 per individual class, or all 6 classes for $100 if paid by July 18.

This is a unique training of a musical discipline within a spiritual framework, leading to mastery at many levels. We will explore the healing power of the drum, ritual, and rhythm, going beyond our concepts of who and what we are. Pre-requisite: Attendance at a Beginning Frame Drum class with Farrunnissa, or at a previous workshop with Layne. Early registration discount now in effect!
