New for July
Spiritual Australian Didgeridoo Workshop
This interactive workshop explores the use of breath and sound frequencies to connect with the Divine, and create a deeply serene state of consciousness for the enhancement of healing, meditation, prayer and creativity. The didgeridoo is an ancient mesmerizing drone instrument made from the eucalyptus tree and is traditionally played in healing ceremonies by the Aboriginal clans of Australia.
Playing the didgeridoo creates soothing and resonant harmonics that easily erase the 'monkey chatter' in the mind, enhancing mental clarity and emotional equilibrium. The primordial vibrations of the didgeridoo, combined with the breathing techniques can help create a state of relaxation, lower blood pressure, relax the heart, improve digestion, and reportedly, significantly reduce sleep apnea. No prior musical experience is necessary.
All participants will be provided and instrument to play during the workshop.
Monday, July 12th, 7:00-9:30 PM. Cost: $15.
