On the longest night, help us to create a candlit community altar to mark the winter solstice. A mindful crafting of seasonal flowers, local art pieces and gentle hands.

DRUMMING WORKSHOP
7.00pm – 9.00pm
Deans Marsh Community Hall
Are you interested in joining us for a wonderful and joyous gathering in sound? This is a call out for the frame drumming workshop that will be part of the main Saturday evening event.
We will be drumming, singing, moving, dancing together in the Friday workshop. Creating the soundscape that we as a group will contribute to the Saturday evening event. A celebration to nourish our community, building stronger and more connected future generations. This is a shared experience more than it is a musical performance so if you’re keen to get involved please get in touch.
