Clear Day Hello and Happy Summer from Club Drum!

Club Drum is going to be our new Community events website and online newsletter. Right now our website contains three sites: RhythmJourney.com, www.ClubDrum/African/WorldPercussion.com and www.HealingJourney4u.com . It's huge and so we're in the making of breaking them up into three individual sites, for easy access to what specifically you're interested in.

We are as usual all fired up about all the magic and opportunities of living. Loving life, each other and all we know. It's been a great year already, so much healing, transformation and fun. After the heavy winter times, we're happy about the new colors and depths people are feeling and expressing. We've had wonderful retreats here at the Rhythm Ranch, Thank you!!!
