Soooo... tell me more about the 'Magickal Drumming Playshops'!

Well...

Magickal drumming Playshop series:

NOTE – this is not a series for drummers only!! If you are a practitioner, priest/ess, solitary, or whatever, and you’d like to incorporate drumming into your core practice, this is for you. I’ll be bringing a brace of drums to each session, and possibly a few other goodies, so drums aren’t required, but always feel free to bring one. Parts 1 & 2 will start at 10 and run about three hours-ish, then a lunch break, and hopefully we can start 3 & 4 around 1 and head home by late afternoon. How long things run depends upon all of you, but this seems to be about the average.

Bring your favorite drums and/or other noisy toys.

Foundations, Meditation, Celebration and Healing.

Magickal Drumming 2: Meditation.

Pretty much as it sounds. Expect active participation. Drums not required but would be nice. Practitioners welcome and desired.

Magickal drumming 3: Ceremonial and Ritual Drumming

This is a participation session for drummers and practitioners alike. If you have a drum, bring it! If you don’t, that’s OK!

Topics to be covered, opening/closing sacred space, raising energy, “talking” to the spirits, types of drums to be used in which situations, planning and “winging it”.

Magickal Drumming 4: Healing

Ah, the original magickal practice. Bring your drums, ailments, ideas, and get ready to get your hands dirty as you’ll be working on your classmates.
