 Drums, kits, and workshops
  
  
Drums, kits, and workshops.
For centuries, Indigenous peoples have kept alive their traditions of honouring the Earth as sacred.  Native peoples intuitively understood that human beings are coded for ritual.  These cultures have always drummed in rituals at births, deaths, weddings, harvests, and rites of passage.
  
"The drum beat echoes the heart-beat, connecting us to our deeper selves.
It's a universal language which communes people from all cultures."
  
 Native people say the drumbeat also communes with the Earth, reminding us that all of creation is alive and, therefore, sacred.

According to current medical research, stress is a cause of 98% of all disease.  Recent biofeedback studies show that drumming for brief periods can alter the brainwave patterns dramatically reducing stress.  Just 15 minutes of drumming along with our own heartbeats can double the alpha brainwaves, so drumming actually helps us relax.
