Come join all of your forest friends and make new ones. We’ll bask in the moonlight of the Snow Moon.
A COMMUNAL CELEBRATION WITH SOUND, FOOD AND NATURE
🥁 Let the Rhythm Unite Us! 🍲
Join us for an evening where beats meet bites! We'll kick things off with introductions in the yurt and a beginner-friendly drumming workshop to get everyone in sync. No experience? No worries! We're here to guide you through the basics and share the joy of drumming.
As the rhythms start to flow, we'll gather around for a potluck dinner. It's a perfect time to indulge in delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes and enjoy the company of your forest friends. Afterward, the drum circle begins, inviting us to explore and express.
Bring Your Beat: If you have a drum or any percussion instruments, please bring them along to share in the rhythm. Don't have one? No problem! We'll have a few extras on hand for anyone needing an instrument. For specific inquiries about available drums, drop a quick note to alexandralittaye@gmail.com.
Let's come together for a night of rhythm, food, and community!
