Humans of these times...
Reclaiming drum and song is a pounding beat whose echo ripples backwards and forwards through time.
We are called to rhythm because it is innate and powerful. We have been estranged from rhythm for these same exact reasons. The cuttingly and cunningly-present living legacies of colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism have impacted us generationally, viscerally and show up in our bodies’ relationship to rhythm & music.
Restoring our connection to body, soul, village, voice, and rhythm is vital to shift the momentum of generations of harm.
We believe in...
* Reconnecting bodies to rhythm as a source of healing, power, and the magic of co-liberation.
* Reclaiming drumming as a pathway toward ancestral mending, both in reaching for the land-based diasporic cultures that still run in our blood and in actively repairing harm in our current systems through reverent practice.
* Empowering people with the skills, understanding, and creativity to bring music in service of calling, where mastery is unnecessary but cultural fluency/reverence, and musical principles are foundational.
* Restoring drumming and singing together as a community practice for health, grief, joy, prayer, resistance, and calling in renewed ways.
THIS TRAINING WILL INCLUDE:
* Weekly Live Classes
* Asynchronous Video Mini-Lessons + Playalong Videos
* Online Community Forum
* Live Office Hours
* Final Project
KEEP IN MIND:
* Limited capacity. We will cap the program at 22 participants with 50% reserved for BIPOC community.
* Register soon to secure your spot.
