We had an exciting class experience opening a circle of beginners to the language of rhythm and drums.  These students were studying psychology and artistic expression. We discussed how drum patterns enable us to realign our biorhythms into a more meditative state when we use our intentions to heal with music. Many of them had an amazingly transformative experience ~shifting from timid to empowered and connected within our class. 

Celebrating out planet, Mother Earth ~ at the campus of University of Hawaii with the students and greater community~ headlining the Earth Day Fair 2017!   
Hope was joined by percussionists and back up vocalists to complete her musical offering, sharing songs honoring the land, of tribes from around the world.  
The sun shone brightly and children were dancing throughout the celebration, it was a beautiful community event.
