Bring  your percussion instruments (some will be provided) and your curiosity  to this drum circle where we will explore the joy of playing together.  How do we listen to each other while building a group rhythm? How do we  add the spice of polyrhythm? How can we learn from traditional West  African rhythms to play as an ensemble?
 

Coulby grew up in the PNW in the indigenous community of the  Swinomish Tribe, with a love for music, nature and natural material  processing. Percussion became a passion early on, leading to a  professional career as the original drummer of the popular NW band  Flowmotion. Along the way he fell in love with West African music;  studying, playing and teaching for 25 years. Coulby has a wide variety  of skills and passions he enjoys sharing with others including weaving,  dowsing, mycology, philosophy, and healing.

Ben Towers AKA Metaphysical was raised in the  beautiful PNW. His love and passion  is deeply connected with vibrational arts, therapy sound, alchemical  creations, producing music without borders, and a conduit of all global  musical genres. For the better part of two decades,  he has traveled  around the west coast playing and attending festivals, intimate venues,  gatherings, clubs, hosting Ecstatic Dances, and a resident DJ on  C89.5fm’ The Over Drive show. In all these settings, he has seen and  felt the power of vibrational medicine. It has been his desire to bring  these Indigenous analog instruments and digital technology into the same  space, to dance in harmony, and create a universal container for  healing.
 

This last year has been amazing! The universal power of manifestation  has brought me powerful and captivating instruments, from all over the  world. I'm really excited to share these calming, tranquil, and healing  sounds with you!
Thank you for your love and support in this life's experience!
 

Cappy Franti will be taking a musical break to talk about another passion in his life, Yoga Nidra. As a yoga teacher and instructor, Cappy will teaching us about this incredible form of Yoga.  

Yoga Nidra is the practice of entering the conscious  state of mind that falls somewhere between sleeping and being awake.  You’re "awake" the entire time you practice, but you’re not exactly  alert. The goal is to enter a conscious sleep state and totally relax  your brain, therefore releasing any unwanted tension in your body. 

These two incredible goddesses will be talking about the power of gratitude, and how it can shape our lives..
 

High Priestess TLC
High Priestess TLC (Tara) is a visionary, who’s answering her calling to  unite, connect and facilitate others’ healing, through her own  experiences.
In 2020 I underwent an extreme life transformation, losing my job and  dissolving a 20-year marriage, which were my identities at the time. I  was completely lost and could not see a way through it. My sister  (SiStar Boujee) brought me to spirituality. Through gratitude, and  believing in the magic of life, I quickly found myself immersed in some  of the most caring, loving and gifted healers who guided and supported  me through my personal growth. Illuminating the process of revealing my  personal power through accepting and developing my many gifts.

You have the power to heal yourself – We are here to show you a way

SiStar Boujee (Amaris), aka the Mystic Stylist, is a powerful healer and  transformational specialist, who shares her gifts and powers freely  with all. She is a gifted shepherd through the end-of-life experience  for both the person transitioning as well as their loved ones.
In 2015 I had my first Reiki experience and it launched my awakening and  placed me on my fulfilling path of Purpose. I began to integrate this  gift of Reiki into my hair services. Which then led me into end-of-life  work by providing Reiki and haircuts on hospice patients. As this work  grows so does my knowledge and involvement with the end-of-life care  process. I assist in navigating all aspects, for all involved,  fulfilling a role of support and guidance during an experience many find  unbearable.
Integrating my path with my sisiter’s (High Priestess TLC), so began the co-creation of the Inner Center.
Now bringing my love, knowledge and gifts to many through the Inner  Center, to empower and inspire others along their path of illumination. 

 *Basic fundamentals, technique and drum circle etiquette.  We will go over hand positions, body posture, and how to hold your drum  for comfort and ease when playing. We will work on our bass and tone  sounds, possibly introducing the slap sound as well. Drum circle hand  signals, covering tempo up and down, volume up and down, call and  response, individual and sectional playing and starting and stopping as a  group.   We start our first warm up rhythms listening as a whole and playing  to-geth-er.  The 'Rocking Chair' rhythm will get us synced up and then we will divide  our group into 3 teams and add 2 more rhythms to the main rhythm  creating a dynamic, 3-piece polyrhythm. Watch for the switch. 

Pretty  cool  stuff!   

*The 'Boom-Boom Diggy'  Boom-Boom Diggy is a fun rhythm/vocal exercise and rhythm where we  emphasize the 'if you can say it, you can play it' attitude. Our Vocal  patterns will match our rhythm and we will have some fun with this one,  playing around with it and sharing some solo playing.   *Drums Songs  A drum song is something I've created for a more unique and creative  drum and music experience. Basically, instead of all of us playing the  same rhythm, we will individually go around the circle offering up a  sound or rhythm. One at a time, we go clockwise around the circle with  each person contributing their piece, adding to the collective sound. By  the time we go around the circle, we will have a unique drum song  instead of a unison rhythm. Creative and organic, it is different every  time.  

 *Open Jam This is where we all get to apply wheat we've just learned and  have some fun free flow fun. At the end of our regular sessions and or  as a session of its own, we will have an open jam. If you got chops,  bring 'em. This part is not facilitated (but may be guided). Anyone  start a rhythm or even make a go at stepping in to lead the circle a bit  using the hand gesture techniques covered in the beginning portion of  our Playshop.
