Drumming in the Feminine: R&R Retreats for Women

Workshop, San Fransisco, CADrumming in the Feminine,
Rhythm & Rejuvenation Retreats

A nurturing, safe  place for women to gather, to share in rhythm, in drumming, to heal, to share, to be creative, feel energized, alive and revitalized

History shoes us incredibly how WOMEN were the first drummers – and they were shown playing FRAME DRUMS!

The frame drum was the primary mythological instrument used for rites of passages in ancient Mediterranean cultures, such as Italy, Israel, Egypt, and Greece;

They were the Shamans, the Priestesses,and keepers of the sacred RHYTHM – empowered, dynamic and alive.

These retreats are created for us ladies – to take a TIME OUT – and immerse ourselves in ancient healing  practices  & nourishing delights, such as:

  • Frame Drumming
  • More Frame Drumming
  • Drumming & Healing Rituals
  • Ecstatic & Trance Dancing
  • Yoga & Meditation
  • Delightful Organic Food
  • Medicine Drum Concerts (Marla will do a concert for you all, and you are welcome to share something too)
  • Sharing Circles
  • Quite Time & Rituals in Nature

Keeping the ancient traditions of WOMEN FRAME DRUMMERS alive …spreading awareness of the healing, transforming energy of this ancient technology.
Inspired by the works of the late Frame Drummer, scholar and author of the book, “When the Drummers Were Women”, – Layne Redmond, this retreat is in honor of the Divine Feminine.


Upcoming Retreats:

August 2014 – San Fransisco, CA
February 2015 – San Louis Obispo, CA
