To be in rhythm is a human birthright.
You were born from rhythm, and will one day return to the Great Rhythm of All Things...but before you go...
here is an invitation to get back into rhythm.
RHYTHM IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE
Before you had words, you had your mother’s heartbeat.
You gestated to rhythm.
Rhythm doesn’t belong to one culture.
It is your birthright.
The rhythm of the drum is our Mother tongue and music is the Universal language of all.
Some believe we drummed and hummed before we even spoke...Â
And of all the drums, the frame drum is among humanity’s oldest and most sacred instruments of transformation.
Women have played it in prayer, ceremony, and ritual for thousands of years.
WHAT THE MODERN RESEARCH SHOWS
Peer-reviewed studies have measured drumming’s effects on mood, stress hormones, and immune markers.
In a 2016 study published in PLOS ONE, people drummed together once a week for 10 weeks. They showed significant decreases in depression and anxiety, and increases in social resilience and mental wellbeing.
Their saliva samples also showed a shift from a pro-inflammatory toward an anti-inflammatory immune profile.
In a 2001 study, a single session of group drumming increased natural killer cell activity and the DHEA-to-cortisol ratio. Both are markers of a healthier stress and immune response.
Research is catching up to what women drummers have always known.
IN 8 DAYS, YOU WILL:
Drum along or simply listen, whether you’re brand new or have played for years.
Use rhythm as meditation, recalibration, and ritual.
Feel rhythm settle your body and clear your mind.
Experience how the sacred drum and rhythm are teachers in their own right.
Reconnect with the herstory of women as the original timekeepers and rhythm keepers.
Leave with a simple daily practice you can return to again and again.
