Magical Camping Retreat #2

We are pleased to welcome you back to our new and improved multi-day retreat. This event is for adults 24+.

Please continue reading to learn what this event is, how the schedule will look, who is running it, and what our intentions are. There are a few videos to demonstrate activities throughout. We encourage you read this entire page before you purchase tickets. 

What is the event?

RhythmetriX combines music with movement and mindfulness to rewire the brain and regulate the nerves through unique modalities of group drumming.  Our belief is that deep, impactful psychological work does not always have to be a dark, scary, individual experience. Quite the contrary: our sessions have proven that we can facilitate that work in a fun, playful, supportive group-environment. That's what this is all about.

Our intention is to facilitate a connection between drumming and a regulated state of being. We accomplish this by building a cohesive group over the course of two evenings through various rhythmic engagements via the utilization of drums. The first evening, Friday, will feature and introductory opening circle, and then two short drumming sessions. Here, RhythmetriX facilitators will help show people how to comfortably be part of a drum circle that listens, connects, plays, and evolves with itself. We will close by going over the next day's schedule.  Saturday will be the day we imbibe and take part in ceremony. Sunday, we have one morning drumming session, then closing circle and integration discussion. The event will conclude around noon on Sunday. Below, find a more detailed schedule.
