Sacred Drumming: Building Community through West African Sounds & Spirituality -Presentation with Fode Camara & Helen Bond in Los Angeles, California
The Guibord Center Presents this Free Event
Many of us yearn to meet in person, to see each other, to be together - especially in these tough times. The spirituality of Guinea, West Africa and indeed, of Indigenous Spirituality throughout the world, is deeply communal. It is often expressed through tribal rituals such as drumming. Drumming awakens the heart and reconnects us to the Earth and the essence of all beings. (Drums will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own or just soak in the rhythm.)
