Awakening the Drum Within: An Evening of Rhythm, Ceremony & Exploration

Step into a pulsating evening where rhythm, ritual, and soul connection meet.Led by Abdul Conteh, an accomplished Gambian African drummer, and Melanie Ashley, a guide in meditation and inner journeying, this event invites you to return to the ancient pulse of life itself.

We begin with a Drumming Workshop, where you’ll awaken your connection to the energy, rhythm, and heartbeat of Mother Earth through collective sound and movement.A gentle Cacao Ceremony follows—opening the heart and deepening presence in sacred community.The evening culminates with a Guided Inner Journey, inviting you to descend into the underworld of the Earth plane to uncover the hidden gifts waiting within your soul.

Come as you are. No drumming experience is needed—just an open heart, a curious spirit, and a willingness to listen deeply to the rhythm that unites us all.
