Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.
—Lionel Hampton
Drumming is a fun, energetic and creative activity that can serve as a powerful practice to enhance wellness, deepen connection, and build community through shared co-creative experience. Shamans, healers, and explorers of trance-mystical practices throughout history have realized the power of the drum which we can utilize in our own lives today. Drumming entrains us body, mind and spirit and allows us to move past our ego-conditioned thought and belief patterns to a space of pure being-ness where we go with the flow of creation and simply allow the present moment to unfold.
