YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS EXPERIENCE! 😍
We are extremely excited to have a one of a kind drum performer, author & educator, Michael J. Taylor, at Rising Lotus to lead a 2 hour immersive DRUMeditation.
Join us for an experience in sound. Created by Taylor, the DRUMeditation is a combination of guided meditation and rhythmic environments in the form of drums, bells, shakers, flutes, voices, etc., by Taylor, resulting in a powerful transformative experience designed to open your mind and body, so that you may identify and be receptive to the internal and external healing you need to do.
"Let us see what happens when the portal is open" Taylor
No skills, abilities, or beliefs are required to take part in this offering, and it still can be life-changing!
Additional Considerations: Dress comfortably; use a yoga mat, blanket, and/or pillow; eat only lightly prior to meditation. We have many props in the studio but you are welcome to bring your own :)
