SUMMARY:The Rhythm of Freedom – Healing through Drumming and Movement
DESCRIPTION:with Melvin Escobar and Mitch Hall \nJoin us for an afternoon of healing and community resonance. Participants will experience a deep sense of reset and relaxation via drumming\, chanting and accessible movement (fusion of yoga\, tai chi\, qi gong).

However\, EBMC is not independently funded. The Center and the teachers will be sustained only by your voluntary donations (the practice of generous giving\, or “dana”). Please donate generously\, in proportion to your ability: \n* Either online (you will be offered an opportunity during the online registration process to donate to EBMC; the teachers will not receive any part of this online donation).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity. \nFragrance-free: In order to protect the health of community members with environmental illness\, please do not wear fragranced products (including “natural” fragrances) or clothes laundered in fragranced products to EBMC. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Building the Beloved Community:  A Day of Radically Inclusive Movement and Creativity
