Upcoming Events: June-July 2006

New Drum Circle Class (Santa Barbara)
Experience drumming in community while learning Brazilian, African, Cuban and Middle Eastern rhythms. Storytelling and giving voice to the soul is the most important dimension of the class. During the last half hour of each class, participants can share their poetry, dance, song, story or a dream. During their presentation we play as a group to support and enhance their voice. In many societies all over the world, drumming and storytelling work together to bring balance and healing to the entire community.

No prior drumming experience necessary. Classes begin Sunday, June 4 and runs until July 30 (no class on July 9). 12:30-1:45 PM.

$15 for individual class, $100 for 8 week series.

Location: Ginga Multicultural Center, 219 Gray Avenue, Santa Barbara 805.963.6080, GingaSB@hotmail.com. Call Kris Seraphine for more information, cell: 323-363-1378..
