Winter Wellness Workshop
The Magic of Long Time Cycles & Vocal Toning
November 29, 2020 | 11:00am -1:00pm PST
Wherever you live in the world, we are in a time of reflection. When it can be easier to focus on our losses and stresses, it is important to give thanks for all that we do have. It is also a time to heal and to make positive changes.
There is an abundant natural medicine to be found in playing long time cycles.
They have the ability to put us into a ‘drum trance’ ~ a therapeutic, peaceful state of consciousness – which is MUCH needed right now!
And I’d love to share this magic with you!
Come join our special event, get inspired with new techniques, rhythms and songs, while connecting to an AMAZING global community of like-minded, beautifully-spirited frame drummers
DURING OUR TIME TOGETHER, WE WILL EXPLORE:
PLAY FRAME DRUM, RHYTHMS & IMPROVISATIONS
- Basic strokes in the frame drum “upright” style
- Marla’s favorite trance-healing rhythms in long time cycles
- Explore improvising and creating your “seed” rhythms

CHANT, PRACTICE VOCAL TONING & LEARN ABOUT MUSIC THEORY (Great for newbies!)
