Here is what workshop participants are saying:
"Last night, I spent two hours with Axis Mundi founder Sondra Slade, being tutored by her in “trance drumming.” Sondra is a marvelous teacher, extraordinary drummer, and utterly delicious human being. My arms and hands became birds diving and slicing through time to land on the drumhead of Eternity. A joyous elation flooded my body, mind, and heart. My thoughts did not define me, nor limit me, nor prevent me from entering a sensual world beyond thoughts and concepts, a world of feeling, rhythm, vibration, pulse, and primal conscious energy." Robert Rabbin, Founder, RADICAL SAGES
