Santa Fe Harmony Center

Drum Circle Classes
Chakra Rhythm Drum Class Series
Learn how to drum rhythms that attune to each chakra. Starting in February, each month the Santa Fe Harmony Center will offer four classes that teach a specific 4-part drum beat that resonates to a specific chakra frequency. Participants can come to one or more classes each month. Classes will be held from 7-9pm on Mondays. The cost is $10 per class, or $30 for an entire month. Drummers can bring their own drum, or use one of ours. No prior drumming experience is required, and it is not necessary to take each chakra rhythm in order. Classes are posted on our events calendar. Call 505-989-3507 for more information. Come as many times as you can! Click here to download a flyer on the drum classes.
Root Chakra Drum Class February 1, 8, 15, 22 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Grounding The Base or Root Chakra is associated with the color red. This chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our beings. Focusing one's attention on the color of a cherry popsicle or a juicy red apple can help bring our energetic body "down to earth" and in alignment with our physical body when we find ourselves energetically fleeting or in other words....."spacing off."

Sacral Chakra Drum Class March 8, 15,22, 29 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Nourishing the Sexual/Creativity Center The Sacral Chakra is associated with the color orange or red-orange. It helps to visualize a Sunkist orange or the orange-red of an evening sunset when focusing on the second chakra. This chakra often offers us the opportunity to lessen our "control issues" and find a balance in our lives and our relationships. The process of making changes in our life through our personal choices is a product of second chakra energy. A well-functioning second chakra helps one to maintain a healthy yin-yang existence.

Solar Plexus Chakra Drum Class April 5, 12, 20, 27 - 7-9pm Focus: Boosting Self-Esteem and Encouraging Self-Love The Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with the color yellow. This is the area which defines our "self-esteem". The personality that develops during puberty is housed in this chakra....otherwise known as the "EGO". Anyone experiencing dysfunction of the third chakra is having difficulty obtaining or maintaining his/her own "personal power". This intuitive chakra is where we get our "gut instincts" that signal us to do or not to do something. Strong self-esteem is a required for developing intuitive skills.

Heart Chakra Drum Class May 3, 10, 17, 24 - 7-9pm Focus: Healing Emotional Hurts The Heart Chakra is associated with the color green or pink. This love center of our human energy system is often the focus in bringing about a healing. Thus, the words "Love Heals All" have great truth. Hurtful situations that can affect our emotional being are divorce or separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, adultery. All of these are wounding to the heart chakra. Physical illnesses brought about by heartbreak require that an emotional healing occur along with the physical healing. Learning to love yourself is a powerful first step in securing a healthy fourth chakra. The "wounded child" resides in the heart chakra.

Throat Chakra Drum Class June 5, 12, 19, 26 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Speaking One's Truth The Throat Chakra is associated with the color sky blue. This chakra is our will center. The healthfulness of the fifth chakra is in relation to how honestly one expresses him or herself. Lying violates the body and spirit. We speak our choices with our voices (throats). All choices we make in our lives have consequences on an energetic level. We have all experienced that "lump in our throats" when we are at a crossroad of not knowing how to speak the right words in any given situation, perhaps even stuffing our own emotions. A challenge of the throat chakra is to express ourselves in the most truthful manner. Also to receive and assimilate information. Seek only the truth.

Brow Chakra Drum Class July 5, 12, 19, 26 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Awakening Third Eye Senses The Brow Chakra is associated with the color indigo. It is also often referred to as the "third eye" or the "mind center." It is our avenue to wisdom - learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective. Our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions is in connection with the healthfulness of this chakra. Achieving the art of detachment beyond "small mindedness" is accomplished through developing impersonal intuitive reasoning. It is through an open brow chakra that visual images are received.

Crown Chakra Drum Class August 2, 9, 16, 23 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Opening and Clearing the Spiritual Communication Center The Crown Chakra is associated with the color violet or white. We use the seventh chakra as a tool to communicate with our spiritual nature. It is through this vortex that the life force is dispersed from the universe into the lower six chakras. It has been referred to as our "GOD SOURCE" - a spiritual connection or communicator. This chakra is often pictured as a lotus flower opening to allow spiritual awakening in an individual. The crown chakra could also be considered the well from which intuitive knowing is drawn. Click here for an information sheet on the Crown Chakra.
Seven Chakra Drum Class September 6, 13, 20, 27 - 7-9pm $10/class or $30/month Focus: Balance and Alignment These four classes are the culmination of the chakra rhythm series. We will "spin" all seven chakras in a rhythmic progression, balancing the light body and aligning the total chakra energy system. We will play each chakra rhythm, in order, from bottom to top and back down again. Each of these classes is guaranteed to be an exhilarating experience! Participants must have attended at least one class from each chakra rhythm.
