-Drumming
Connect with the natural rhythms of life through breathing, movement and drumming. Rhythmic patterns compose our lives in many ways. We walk, talk, eat and breath in rhythm. Our hearts beat in rhythm and will change depending on if we are anxious or relaxed. Circadian rhythms guide our sleep wake cycles. Days, weeks, seasons all cycle in patterns. Our relationships dance in rhythm too. Life sustains itself out of finding a balance with the complexity of rhythms in and around us. Our Primal selves have a deep need for healthy rhythms, which are direct expressions of nature itself, built into our DNA.
Modern life can tend to throw us out of sync with our natural rhythmic harmony. Traditional cultures have always had practices to tune into their primal rhythms for health sustainability, and balance. Core practices such as Breathwork, Movement and Drumming were an integral part of personal and collective life.
-In this weekly workshop we draw on meditative breathing and movement techniques as well as traditional drumming practices from around the world to Unlock our own Primal Rhythms.
Clave (KLAH-vay) is the basic defining rhythm of Afro-Cuban Jazz and other types of African, South American and even Australian Aboriginal music. The claves are the wooden sticks used to produce the rhythm. “Clave” means “key” in Spanish. It’s the heartbeat of the music and dances of the world.
