"The Power of Sacred Singing and Drumming"
with guests Susan Merletti, MPS and Mary Mullen
The human voice in song is one of the most primordial, universal organic experiences: Powerful and moving. With intentionality, mindfulness, sometimes a little play and the beat of the mother drum, we have a rich and beautiful experience that can take us on a journey of transformation and connection.
