Explore and express yourself at our (almost) New Year’s celebration music, movement and rhythm circle!

In this special 3-hour event, we will combine song circle, drum circle and movement to attune to the rhythms of our hearts, the songs of our souls, and the dances of life as we say farewell to 2019 and welcome to a new decade!

Activities:
* Guided meditation with drumming
* Setting intentions for the new year
* Joyous music-making through drums and other instruments
* Sharing our voices with simple songs taught in the oral tradition
* Simple movement & dance
* Vocal exploration and play
* Sound healing with crystal and Tibetan bowls and other instruments to close the evening
* Sharing of food and a champagne (or sparkling cider) toast to the new year

Bring a friend, bring a playful spirit and a shared snack for the table. Drinks will be provided.

Facilitated by:
Heather Holland - Drum Circle Facilitator / Song Leader / Sound Healer
Dakini Uma Amitabha - Sacred Dance Facilitator & Toning/Sound Healer

The Basics:
We offer easy-to-learn drum rhythms, circle songs & chants, and simple movements to help you get in the groove. All are interwoven into shared moments of fun and community connection. No experience necessary – and we mean that!

Instruments:
We have plenty of drums to share - however you must RSVP if you want us to bring one for you. You are also encouraged to bring your own drum, shakers, or melodic instruments such as guitar, flute, or uke, harmonica, etc! Remember: We all have music and rhythm within. The “heartbeat” is the most ancient and sacred rhythm of all.

Everyone who wants to explore with us is welcome and appreciated.

Cost: Suggested Donation of $10-$25 sliding scale.
No one turned away for lack of funds.
