New or experienced drummers are welcome. Instructions and lessons will be provided.

Through the neuroscience of brainwave entrainment, the rhythms bring us into a dreamlike theta brainwave, which allows us to connect to our subconscious mind, similar to lucid dreaming. In this state, we can discover old thought programs and rewire limiting beliefs.

After entering the meditative state, we can intuitively use our voices and movement to express somatically stored emotional energy. This allows us to release negative emotions, feel heard and expressed, and gain the confidence to choose empowering beliefs which we use to create our best lives.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• sitting in circle with handheld frame drums (similar to local native drums)
• everyone takes a turn with sharing a request from the circle. Use a word to describe what you would like to receive from the group. Everyone will keep that in mind while they are drumming for you as an act of service. It's a balance of drumming for yourself and others, just like all of life.
• starting with a single candle and then turning all lights off
• 30 minutes of pure 4 beats per second shamanic drumming to entrain to theta brainwave and to synchronize the drummers to mind/heart and group coherence
• after 30 minutes, for the rest of the circle, we intuitively use vocal sounds and singing to express and release emotions and ideas. We creatively flow through rounds of different rhythms and improvisational singing and movement.
• closing sharing circle to help integrate the lessons and experience. We share from our own experience and avoid giving guidance or judgments to others. Everyone is in personal development and positive encouragement is welcome, but no corrections.
  

IMPORTANT NOTE

EVERY NIGHT IS DIFFERENT. It's NEVER the same thing twice! Some nights are more masculine and some nights are more feminine. Some have more singing, some have more drumming or movement. Some nights can be tense for some people, but freeing for others.

It's important to note that we are a community that openly supports each other and shares our process. We openly discuss ways to learn and improve from the experience.

WHAT TO BRING

• a cushion for sitting on the floor (chairs are supplied)
• eye mask
• bring your own frame drum or borrow one from me at the circle
• water bottle
