Program Description
Event Details
This event will be rescheduled in the Spring. New date TBD.
Chelsie Henderson of EarthBeat Music with special guest Abdul Samassa invite you to learn about an exuberant and thunderous path toward lifelong happiness... DRUMMING! West African hand drums - djembes - will be provided and you will be shown how to get into a groove from the moment your hands meet the drums.
Drums are among the world's oldest musical instruments. Drumming today has been scientifically proven to benefit the body and mind by reducing tension, anxiety, depression, and stress; boosting the immune system and increasing energy; helping to control chronic pain; releasing negative feelings and emotional trauma; improving joint mobility and motor skills; and building social interactions and community.
EarthBeat Music strives to cultivate empathic and resilient communities through musical expression and is home to Chelsie's Drum in Joy, Strum in Joy and WomenSing for Peace community music programs.
Please note this program will start promptly at 2:00 pm. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to start time. Late attendees may lose their seat in this program. Waitlist will be admitted at that time.
