Join us in sacred rhythm, where each heartbeat meets the drum. In this circle, we gather not to perform, but to remember—to listen, to feel, to express. Through the ancient language of drumming, we awaken connection: to ourselves, to one another, and to the pulse of something greater. No experience is needed—only the willingness to be present. We will drum, breathe, and be together in a space of safety, rhythm, and release. Bring your own drum if you have one—or come as you are. Instruments and hearts will be shared.

Join us for a hands-on Drum Making Class with JoAnne Parker! Spend the day creating your own unique drum. The shell of the drum, the tanned hide, the strings, and the drumstick are all prepared by JoAnne and her husband, so you can focus on assembling and personalizing your instrument.

Jo-Anne will paint your drum after it dries.

In addition, enjoy intuitive readings, a light lunch, and tea. It’s a day of creativity, connection, and friendship — a wonderful opportunity to find your voice through the rhythm of your drum.

All materials are provided. Just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
