Update + Summercamp Early Registration Drawing Near

Hello Dear Ones,

We are really looking forward to the first Embodying Rhythm Marimba, Rhythm, and Music sleep-away summer camp for teenagers and adults this July. We would love to encourage you to check-in and see if you are called to join us. We have a really amazing team gathered as staff, some super great students signed up, and we are extremely excited for the musical material  that we will be covering during this five and a half day fun intensive music camp. If you are called to join us for this percussive adventure learning music in a joyful, safe, uplifting, immersive, community oriented environment, please do: learn more.

Our family has really been appreciating the fruit blossoms and the sound of the bees buzzing in the trees this spring. We have been having picnics under the crabapple tree in full bloom this week. If you haven’t had a chance yet to breathe deeply into a blossoming fruit tree, or to listen to the bees doing their springtime thing, we’d recommend taking a moment for this type of medicine.

We had a very inspirational marimba workshop this past Sunday. Thanks to the folks who made it out to go deeper into the fun realms of music and rhythm. In two weeks, on Sunday, May 6th from 2-5pm, we’ll explore the rhythmical play of music based in 3 (including 6’s & 12’s) and the inherent poly-rhythms held within. Learn more.

Our marimba album recording studio journey is progressing well. We are looking forward to a mid-summer release date. Will keep you posted.

blessings,
Arlyn & David
