Community Drumming Workshop

Picture
Drumming in a group has been found to help reduce stress,
rejuvenate, calm, and help develop right brain creativity. Drumming alone has
healing power, but in a group, healing expands exponentially. For thousands of
years, people have used the drum as a means of coming together to heal
  individuals and build communities. This spring Dr. Meggie Aube will offer 2- 3 week workshop in community drumming. Classes will be held on Saturday afternoons from 1:30- 2:30 p.m. Session 1 will be March 11th, 18th, and 25th. Session 2 will be April 15th, 22nd, and 29th. The fee for the 3-class workshop is $40.
