They are needed now in these challenging times and help us honor this amazing planet we call home. Drum and dance with us to ground into the energy of the Earth\, as we allow the ancestors and Mother Earth to guide us with sacred understanding. \nOur time together looks like: \nMorning: Drum\, Dance\, Reflect\, Dance\nLunch break: Please bring a bag lunch and beverage\nAfternoon: Drum\, Dance\, Reflect\, Drum \n \n \n      \nJoin these experienced and captivating facilitators at the beautiful Hudson Barn on Delight Farm in Sparks\, MD.
