Barbara is an amazing drummer and teacher. In her class
I learned to leave behind the self-judgment and reach
down to a deeper place of authentic connection and self-expression.
The activity of drumming acted as a vehicle for me to
open myself up to the present moment - setting aside
fear and judgment - to be free enough to experience the
joy, exhilaration, and peace of the rhythm and the beat.

session I could barely lie still. Within moments, however,

meditation rarely touches. It was as though the essence
of sound was entering my soul through every pore of
my physical self."
