Drumming 101 - Patch Kyaio

In this workshop, we will be going over the basics of hand drumming as well as some practice techniques and fun rhythms! The skill level of the workshop will be determined by the skill level and knowledge-hunger of the class, not to exceed any one person's ability.

Rhythm Magic and The Universe - Patch Kyaio

Have you ever FELT the drums? Have you ever stared into a fire while your heart beats outside your body from the cacophonous roar of the drums? Whether you have or haven't, that will be the beginning of our journey. The FEELING of the drums. Playing, or listening, allowing yourself to be carried away by the energy of rhythm. We will be focusing on the healing power of the drum and its ability to help us in physical, emotional and spiritual ways as it walks our life journey with us, punctuating our NOW. We will utilize rhythm to help facilitate meditation and trance as we explore the ebbs and flows of our own heartbeat.
