Course Outline:

Secret women’s business. A Women’s only safe space to retreat from the outer world and connect with your inner knowledge. We will drum, meditate
and craft together. An introduction to the medicine wheel and the associated directions will be shared. We will explore different drums as a tool to
enter the gateway of our inner stillness. Learn to play basic rhythms on African drums (djembes) and experience shamanic drum journeys with
shamanic (frame) drums. Take a small break from the business of the world and our own minds to be held, nurtured, and supported. Practice
mindfulness, or rather mind-emptiness as you learn simple rhythms on a drum and enter the gateway into the timeless, flow space. Learn how to use
the drum as a bridge from your monkey mind to the spaciousness within. Go deep with guided meditations and shamanic drum journeys. Learn how
to connect to this stillness, embody it and bring into your own life.

About the Tutor

Hi there, I’m Sal & I’ve had the pleasure of teaching & performing African Drumming (Djembe) since 2007. I played the djembe as a hobby for some years and followed an exciting evolution from attending classes (just like this one!) to performing live, teaching and facilitating classes. I’ve taught at various community colleges and schools throughout Sydney, run Women’s sacred drumming circles and am part of a performance troupe which performs at both community & private events. I enjoy teaching African drumming immensely as it is such a unique modality which transcends age, race, sex, religion and preconceived notions of musicality and ability. It brings people from all walks of life together regardless of whether they have ever touched a musical instrument before, to create music - in the moment, to be - in the moment and to enjoy those moments in the spirit of sacred shared community space which is more important right now then we have ever known. “United we conquer, divided we fall.” - Aesop.
