In Santa Monica CA, Miranda Rondeau leads workshops called "Vocal Exploration Playshop"
She invites us to learn to use our voices as offerings to the Holy One, along with our drumming.
Basically she begins by gently saying the strokes she is playing and then lets those words carry her into wordless song and drumming. It is very, very meditative and prayerful.
