A meditative practice that inspires you.
Most of us live in a fast-paced daily life, at a rhythm that only wears us down and harms our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Meditation has widely known benefits, but many people don't adapt to less active meditation styles. Others simply end up getting bored and giving up.
Are you also looking for a meditative practice that you can sustain and that makes you feel like you belong to something bigger?

MEDITATIVE DRUMMING
Life in rhythm is joy, connection and radiant health!
The Meditative Drum is unlike anything you've ever experienced because it's an active, fun, easy-to-learn, and exciting meditation practice!
Furthermore, when practiced in a group, the hand drum takes us out of isolation and allows us to feel a sense of belonging to our history, our ancestry, and a supportive community.
Rhythm, sound, and vibration are used as a powerful form of meditation that helps you focus your mind and heal your heart so you can:
• Feel enthusiasm and a desire to meditate!
• Reduce stress and amplify your mental strength
• Improve concentration, reduce mental noise and distractions
• Increase self-confidence, creativity, peace, and joy
• Find a greater meaning in life
• Connect with a welcoming and heart-centered community!
You will finally discover that there is a simple way to come to LOVE MEDITATION!
Why the drum?
The frame drum has accompanied humanity for thousands of years. It has been used in ceremonies, rituals, and spiritual practices in different cultures, not only as a musical instrument but as a powerful tool for connection.
In addition, it brings many health benefits. The rhythm naturally helps regulate the nervous system, promotes meditative states, and invites us to return to the present moment.
Several studies show that playing the drum can help reduce stress, improve mood, increase concentration, and promote a greater sense of physical and emotional well-being.
But, for me, the drum represents something even deeper: it reminds us of who we truly are, beyond the noise of the mind.
The drum is much more than an instrument; it is a tool for presence, expression, and personal transformation.
Drumming is fun!
Learning to play the drums is easy, whether you have musical experience or not, and it makes meditative practice easy, fun, and profound!
I have been practicing and teaching meditation for 18 years and have discovered that there is nothing as powerful as the drum to support meditation!

"Katrina really puts us at ease and miraculously enables us all to play together without us even realizing how! 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."

"It is remarkable how the drum classes with Katrina support our inner connection and awaken another level of consciousness. 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! A highlight for me were the meditative moments accompanied by flute and other instruments as well as connection to the group. It's wonderful to learn rhythms together in community and play together in sync!" - Sónia Rodrigues

I love it and I want to have more!" - Joana Roma Torres
