Dates: Friday 05 February 2027 - Sunday 07 February 2027
Drumming and music-making are ancient ways of opening ourselves to spiritual realms of healing, creativity and a shift in consciousness. Ancient and traditional cultures used drumming for healing, celebration and the marking of rituals and rights of passage. Drumming promotes a sense of belonging and well-being, deep relaxation and healing. In this retreat we will learn some basic drumming techniques and take a journey around the world, exploring rhythms from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.
