Mini Retreat - Drumming Intro
Event Information
About this Event
This Mini Intro Drumming Retreat is for you if:
-You feel an unmistakable call to the primal beat of the drum that you can't logically explain, but know is real.
-You are a beginner who would love to explore drumming and learn the basics so you can build on your skills later, but it feels out of your comfort zone or you fear that you may have no rhythm. (*Trust me - it isn't true!!)
-You may have drummed before, but would like a refresher to up-skill and reignite your drumming confidence again.
-You would like to get out of your head and be present in the moment, sharing the joy of drumming with like-minded community.
-You would love to learn some simple practises and rhythms you can apply in your daily life to help you ground and relax.
-You crave a greater connection to your intuition, creativity, power and voice.
Sound like you?
Open to adults, men, women and older teens. ALL levels welcome, whether you are a complete beginner who has never picked up a drum before or are an experienced drummer.
Stacey will meet you where you are at, guiding you to experience the joy of rhythm, including the West African djembe, inviting you to relax and enjoy a half day retreat connecting with music and sound (in the comfort of air-conditioning) to nourish your body and soul!
Delicious afternoon tea and refreshments included!
*PLEASE NOTE: Attendance at this event is a pre-requisite for attending the One Day Retreat for Drummers on Sunday 7th Feb if you have no prior drumming experience.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
Stacey Smart is a Facilitator, Percussionist, Medicine Woman and Western Australia’s first certified Qoya Dance Teacher. She has played and taught drums and percussion professionally for 25 years, performing in orchestras, rock bands and African drumming groups to more recently also leading circles, retreats and workshops, such as Sistahood Rising Festival in 2020. Music is her life and festivals are her spiritual home.
After the birth of her second daughter and returning to instrumental music teaching work in 2016, she experienced recurring illness, burnout and knew something had to change. Starting a morning movement practise and birthing her own ritual drum initiated her healing and awakening of the sacred feminine within. She is passionate about helping women reconnect to their inner goddess, get out of their heads into their bodies, reclaim their intuition, creativity, sensuality, power and voice through dancing, drumming, singing/chanting and self-care.
Stacey has a Bachelor of Music (Performance Major in Classical Percussion), Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary Music), is spurred on by her insatiable love of learning and the desire to fulfil her divine potential while also encouraging and inspiring others to step into who they came here to be!
