LET'S DRUM! $25.00/person; $42.50/Couple (15% off)

This workshop will be dedicated to drumming; spending at least one hour drumming together as a group. We will employ hand drums and shamanic style (drum w/beater). Drumming allows us to let go of our rational mind and surrender to our instinctual nature; and connect with our indigenous roots.

Hand Drums enable us to Express and Connect Through Rhythm. Find Your Beat: No experience needed to join our drumming circle. Express and Release: Tap into drumming's emotional and creative outlet. Community Vibes: Connect with others through the shared language of rhythm.

Shamanic style drumming is a continuous, steady beat. This style uses a hand-held drum with a beater. This beat creates a portal to the spirit realm. Per western science, this steady beat places one in the theta state; a deeper state than meditation. This style of drumming provides for an experience of Oneness and creates a trance state that allows for clear access to one’s intuition; aka hearing the voice of God, creator, source, spirit. Once the drumming is complete, we will sit in the stillness and receive intuitive messages.

Gregory Merritt is pursuing his soul’s passion to express his light and loving heart as a healer-teacher. He integrates his learning from many traditions – nature-based teachings such as Native American and pagan, Consciousness studies, Life Coaching, Landmark Education, drumming circles and 10 years as a Religious Science practitioner. As a Life Coach, he enjoys helping people get into action regarding their true heart’s desire. Gregory is a champion of the soul’s journey. He will help you develop a deeper connection with the Divine within and live life from that place.
