"The frame drum intensive Giving Birth To Ourselves was a journey of self discovery and the beginning of a loving community of frame drummers that sustains me to this day! Shirsten and Tori lovingly led us through the material, modeling a compassionate and playful attitude toward learning new skills that challenged brain, body, and emotions. It was a wonderful immersion into the frame drum, as well as learning itself, and it has given me the lasting gift of ease in new situations, patience, and was responsible for taking a serious chunk out of my chronic perfectionism." Phyllis Capanna

The frame drum is a hand held instrument played in a variety of forms throughout the world since the beginning of time, for ritual, entrainment, healing, shamanic journeying, and ecstatic celebration.Together we will learn rhythms and hand techniques from the Middle East, South India, North Africa, and Brazil on the Tar and Tambourine, utilizing the curriculum created by Layne Redmond and Tommy Brunjes called Giving Birth to Ourselves (GBTO).
The strokes of the drum allow one to connect with elemental energies within our bodies and in the world around us. Rhythmic practice synchronizes the brain and the internal pulsations of our body rhythms, and it allows us to connect deeply in community. Rhythmic play also invites an immense joy into ones being.
Drummers of all levels are invited to participate. The material presented can facilitate seasoned drummers to refine and develop their technique and play, and students new to the drum become fully initiated through this 6 month immersion. It is highly recommended to participated in a frame drum class prior to the program. Throughout the six months, students are asked to make a commitment to an hour of practice a day.
