I relish playing together.
This page will be updated as I feel inspired to organize community gatherings.
Please email me if you’d like to be informed about future events and would like to be added to my email list.
Astrological Attunement
With the New Moon in Taurus conjunct Mercury, this is a moment to slow down and become mindful with what we value and an opportunity to seed our ideas into the physical. Thought and attention are closely linked now, offering a chance to bring clarity to what you are building and how you are shaping “the story of your life.”
At the same time, Mars conjunct Chiron may stir more vulnerable edges around action, self-trust, a need to cut cords, and advocate for self or what you hold dear. You may notice where hesitation lives, where old patterns arise, or where something in you is asking to be met with care before it can fully grow.
This is a space where awareness becomes embodied. Where what you choose to focus on can begin to take root in steady, meaningful ways.
Astrological Attunement
As Saturn and Neptune unite at 0° Aries, we stand at the cosmic threshold between endings and beginnings—between the dissolving dream and the birth of a new one. This synodic cycle happens every 36 years but with makes this extremely rare is that it is at the very first sign of the zodiac, signaling a reboot of reality, the rules of the game of life are shifting. It’s a seeding moment of spiritual activation: where compassion meets clarity, imagination seeks embodiment, and the invisible becomes illuminated through action. THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL

BARD PARTY
Join me in my humble home for some family friendly merriment with music, stories, poetry, libations, and a good heap of mischief making. And a bit of seasonal ritual, of course.
Drumming with the Dark Moon
We will gather in my cozy house to explore frame drumming as animist devotional practice.
Over the course of the night together we will play with beginner friendly frame drum instruction and trance journeying protocols.
As well as practice ancestral connection through devotional ritual, rhythmic invocation, and shared stories, songs, and chants.
We will attune to the energetics of the fall season and dark moon lunar phase as we drum for our dead and send our blessings through into the Otherworld.
Please bring your own drum and any other instruments you’d like to play.
All levels of frame drumming experience are welcome.
