For seven years, Jaime Meyer has been leading twice-monthly drumming groups at First Universalist Church of Minneapolis. On average, 25 people attend. No drumming or rhythmic skill is needed! While you will learn some drumming techniques and see your rhythmic abilities expand, this is not a class. But it’s not a wide open drum “jam” either. Jaime sets out some rhythms, offers suggestions, and helps the group stay in a groove with each other. It is a communal, meditative, fun, spiritual experience, meant to open your sense of wonder and bring joy and stress relief. Most of all it’s an opportunity to let the drum work its healing, inspiring magic on you.

We drum from 7 PM to about 9:30. The first 90 minutes
is all drumming—delicious, enticing, often rambunctious
and wild rhythms, and just as often slow, meditative and
deeply mysterious rhythms. Then we take a short break
for tea and cookies and conversation with fellow
drummers. When we return, Jaime leads the group
in a 1-hour ceremony or meditation inspired by his
25 years of studies in shamanism and theology.
