LEARN TO PLAY & IMPROVISE IN ANY SITUATION
Based on my long practice of Kundalini Sound Yoga and
Trance Drumming, you will learn several rhythm patterns and
their variations that can all be combined into a seamless cycle
of nested polyrhythms. You will also learn how to easily transition
from one to another of these patterns, play them simultaneously
on top of each other canon style with other drummers, invent your
own rhythms, and seamlessly return to the Mother Beat, all without
getting lost or dropping the beat!

Here is what class participants are saying:
"Last night, I spent two hours with Axis Mundi founder
Sondra Slade, being tutored by her in "trance drumming."
Sondra is a marvelous teacher, extraordinary drummer,
and utterly delicious human being. A joyous elation
flooded my body, mind, and heart as I entered a sensual
world beyond thoughts and concepts - a world of feeling,
rhythm, vibration, pulse, and primal conscious energy."
Robert Rabbin, Founder, RADICAL SAGES
"A woman of wit, intelligence and wonder! You are
beautiful inside and out. I love your trance drumming
classes! My mind has expanded and my aggression is
near zero." Juno
"It was TOTALLY great work with you tonight.... expansive!"
Michael Rose, Founder, Blue Dog Shaman
"Robert and I attended your class last night. We went home
absolutely ecstatic! You were very kind and gentle to us as
beginning drummers, and we are now very excited to have
some basis for practice. I have a brain injury from an auto
accident and was worried that I would not be able to understand
the instructions, follow the rhythm or even attempt to keep up with
the rest of the class, but I felt good drumming. There was enough
going on to help me focus & get into that nice 'theta state'.
Thank you for a wonderful evening. We plan to study with you
again and again!" Chris and Robert
"I had such a great time jamming in class last week.
It felt really expansive, and I felt for the first time
that the drum was a part of me, which was really
special. I'm really enjoying playing the drum and
it feels so good for me. I feel like this is something
I really want to dedicate myself to and I'm so eager
to drum more and get into more TRANCE. I can't
wait to get back into the pulse! Thanks so much."
Dane
"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the class!
It’s so beautiful to see the passion you have for your work!
The magic of the drum can take me into an altered state
of consciousness very sweetly and gently. I can’t wait to
practice the beat you taught me." Doris Mehler
"Thank you for your excellent Trance Drumming Retreat.
It's been a long time since I've drummed and it was great.
Two friends of mine came with who had never drummed
before, and they really responded quite a bit.
Blessings to you and Thanks." Shirley McClure
"I love the drumming! This is part of a healing practice for me;
I am recovering from some intensive medical treatments.
Sondra, I have benefited so much from our drumming!" Tish
"I had such a great time yesterday! Oh I'm so excited to really get
into this...I can't wait to get drumming again!!!!" Besos - Meghan
"I loved it!!! Wow ... I felt so wonderfully 'in-harmony' - it was
truly fabulous. I definitely want more ..." Katrina Borneman,
Events Director, San Francisco Spiritual Enrichment Center
"The drumming was so wonderful, I can't even tell you!!
You are really an inspiration." Thistle
"What a beautiful night! I was having these waves of
epiphanies wash over me...Very enjoyable and a great
learning experience! Thank you! I feel blessed and
honored to have been there to share it." Nicolle
