Greetings Friends,
We are so pleased to share
the exhilaration and deep harmony of ancient sisterhood with frame drumming, dance, rhythm and voice. Frame Drums developed with women's introduction to agriculture
and sifting grain. Camaraderie, moving and singing together make all kinds of work more enjoyable. Over the millennia, women continue to gather together
with their frame drums for work, ritual and celebration. We look forward to sharing this timeless community.
With her frame drum designs and pioneering teaching method, Rowan Storm welcomes us to connect with the Pulse of Nature and the Middle Eastern Frame Drum Circle. Each individual's unique creativity finds expression through rhythm. Dasha Bogdanova restores our embodiment of feminine energy with devotional dance movement, and delights our spirit with her soulful and delicious taste treats.

Rowan Storm is recognized internationally as a percussionist, singer and educator of traditional Middle Eastern hand drumming and culture. For 30 years Rowan has been performing with master musicians in venues such as San Francisco's Asian Art Museum, New York's Lincoln Center and Greece's Epidavros Ancient Amphitheater. With her streamlined frame drum designs, Rowan is pioneering the Partner Hand Symmetrical Frame Drum Method and the Facilitated Frame Drum Circle. Uniquely accessible with their shallow frame and light weight, Rowan's frame drums and teaching method lead to rapid authority with all Middle Eastern frame drums, dumbek, and rhythms including odd meters. Engaging both hands equally in creative expression, both brain hemispheres are awakened as the rational is balanced with the intuitive. www.rowanstorm.com
