ecocentric drumming and rituals for health & wellbeing
for the earth.
for the animals.
for ourselves.
Welcome to Pattern Percussion. I'm excited to drum with you, and so grateful for this opportunity to create a kind and compassionate space, centered around music, our stories, our rhythms, our choices... our patterns.
As we connect to our own patterns, we can see how our patterns effect all beings in the global community.
As we become more aware of our patterns, we can begin to have a dialogue about ways to bring more peace into the world for everyone.
Hello Friends,
Happy Lunar New Year! 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, signaling that the year ahead is to be fulled with prosperity, fertility, and abundance (characteristics traditionally associated rabbits). In East Asian cultures, the rabbit is also associated with the moon, being the companion of the Moon Goddess. If you look closely at the full moon, you may even be able the see the rabbit in the moon. Look even closer, for this rabbit has a mortal and pestle, and is said to be pounding the elixir of life.
The rabbit is also the luckiest sign of the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. So, take a deep breathe and tune into the channel of luck running through the current of this year.
In celebration,
-A.K.

Why Vegan Drums?
Because each and every creature deserves to be honored and respected.
Because we are stewards of the environment.
Because in this modern era there is no need for anyone to have their skin made into a musical instrument.
Because our actions ripple out, effecting the world around us, and they become our patterns...
and we can do amazing things with our choices.
Because we can do better, so why not?
