If you have a heartbeat, you can drum! For millennia, drumming has brought people together in community to create peace, health and wellness. Uplifting rhythms relieve stress and help people connect with each other, as well as their own joy. Tara and Chris encourage participants to jam out and express their rhythms creatively.
