Women’s Drumming Week-end

You are invited to join Simone LaDrumma and Therese Charvet at Sacred Groves for a weekend filled with drumming, dancing, drumming, singing…and DRUMMING!

Arrival and Departure Times

Arrival: We gather on Friday evening for a potluck dinner around 7pm.

Note: ferries often overload on Friday evenings so get in line early!

Can’t make it on Friday evening? Then come on Saturday morning.

Departure: Around 2:30pm on Sunday.

Drums: Drums (congas and djembes) will be supplied, or bring your own. If you have any hand percussion or other small instruments (like flute) you’d like to bring, please feel free to do so.

Food: For those who arrive Friday evening, there will be a potluck dinner. On Saturday and Sunday, four delicious meals will be provided: On Saturday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. On Sunday, brunch.

Lodging: There is lots of space for tent-camping at the Groves and a limited number of simple indoor beds, mostly in rooms shared with others. Indoor beds are first-come, first-served, so sign up early if you want a bed, especially if you want a private room.

If you live nearby, you can go home and there are B & B’s and a local motel if you want fancier accommodations and/or more privacy. Therese will provide more info about these lodging options upon request.

Cost: Sliding scale: $130-180. Lower if camping or lodging elsewhere; higher for those who want an indoor bed at Sacred Groves and/or those who can afford to make a generous contribution to support Simone and Sacred Groves. Fee includes meals, lodging at Sacred Groves, and Simone’s drum instruction. If you want to come for Saturday only, sliding scale is $70-100.

If these amounts are a hardship, feel free to offer what you can afford. We offer this week-end in trust that the abundant universe will bring in enough!
