MEET YOUR GUIDE
Let My Rhythmic Journey Inspire Yours
It's funny how rhythms seemed to simply fall into my lap. And the more I drum, the more I love it.
It began playfully in Bali, with a simple cajon. Yet, life soon led me to drum in sacred ceremonies and support world-class artists on stage. I didn't consider myself a drummer, but drummers themselves began asking me to teach the intricate Afro-Brazilian rhythms I'd intuitively explored for my "Brazilian Spirit" concerts.
Later, in Europe, I found myself holding ceremonial space for hours with only drum and voice, intimately connecting with the djembe and congas.
This journey culminated in a month-long immersion in Brazil, deepening my understanding of rich Afro-Brazilian traditions like Candomblé, Umbanda, and Maracatu.
This training is my offering of all I've learned about the powerful, useful, beautiful, and magical rhythms that can truly make ceremonial music of all kinds come alive. It's a distillation of years of joyful, unplanned immersion, designed to help you discover the incredible power of rhythm — and of yourself.
