Sacred Instrument, sacred story.
Everyone knows what a drum is, but the FRAME drum is something very special.
Drumming connects us to the roots of the oldest spiritual practice. It's a tool of remembrance. The frame drum is the tool of the ancient priestesses because it is powerful both through rhythm and symbol.
The ancients played frame drums in rituals that marked important transitions. We are again living in times of transition and the frame drum is back. No instrument carries the depth of myth and feminine mystery like the frame drum. Wouldn't it be amazing to be part of hold the power of the frame drum in your hands? It sure is for me. :)
A symbol of power.
The frame drum is an instrument and a powerful symbol. It speaks to our subconscious of the soulful path of the feminine. As an instrument is leads us quickly into deep states of presence and meditative peace. We are the only frame drum school that sings mantra!
These classes are unique and you wont find the teachings anywhere else around the world. I've brought together the frame drum technique with mantras to create something really well...amazing!

Our time together in the drum circle is a moment of peace; and this along with the ambiance of the studio, and the charisma of Katrina elevated me to a level I couldn´t previously imagine, which in many moments permitted me to experience the Sacred, transporting me to times immemorial.
I especially appreciate the way Katrina transmits and shares her knowledge. She uses a very accessible language while demonstrating enormous patience and a great sense of humor and joy. She makes us feel welcome and gives us confidence while helping us create an atmosphere of camaraderie among all participants."

When I arrived home after the drum sessions, I felt more creative, communicative, and energetic. It was as if my mind and body continued in this dance and dialogue of rhythm!

It's wonderful to learn rhythms together in community and play together in sync!" - Sónia Rodrigues

IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE CHOICE
The sound of drumming is a great way to harmonize our inner rhythms and connect with the Earth. Life is a constant process of change, and through the sound of drumming, we can reconnect with our natural rhythm.
In Meditative Drumming, I teach rhythmic breathing techniques to relax the mind and nervous system, and sacred songs to uplift your energy and your community. I teach drumming accompanied by sacred songs and Aquarian mantras that are actively aligned with our current times.
The mantras in the course hold the keys to opening your heart, activating your inner guidance, and connecting to your inner truth, so you can experience greater peace, joy, and freedom. You will learn how to play the frame drum and receive teachings on the mystical nature of rhythm, mantra, and time.
