TRANCE DRUMMING CLASSES with Auntie Matter

Here is what workshop participants are saying:

"It was TOTALLY great work with you tonight.... expansive!" Michael Rose, Founder, Blue Dog Shaman

"I loved it!!! Wow ... I felt so wonderfully 'in-harmony' - it was truly fabulous. I definitely want more ..." Katrina Borneman, Events Director, San Francisco Spiritual Enrichment Center

"Last night, I spent two hours with Axis Mundi founder Sondra Slade, aka “Auntie Matter,” being

tutored by her in “trance drumming.” Sondra is a marvelous teacher, extraordinary drummer, and

utterly delicious human being. I can confirm that the claims she makes for the transformational

powers of trance drumming are quite reasonable, as I experienced all of them. My arms and hands

became birds diving and slicing through time to land on the drumhead of Eternity. I experienced

myself as an Aborigine, seated with others around a night-time fire. I saw and heard sleek black

panthers prowling and growing above and around me. A joyous elation flooded my body, mind, and

heart. I can’t say I stopped thinking, but certainly I can say that 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

"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the class! It’s so beautiful to see the passion you have

for your work! The magic of the drum can take me into an altered state of consciousness very sweetly

and gently. I can’t wait to practice the beat you taught us." Doris Mehler

"The drumming was so wonderful, I can't even tell you!! You are really an inspiration." Thistle

"Last night rocked! It was my first time trancing out in a drum circle!" Cheri Sugal, Founder - Goddess Arts Institute Alliance

"In the middle of dinner my inner ear heard a replay of the last session and the rhythm we're learning

came back to me. Interesting the pulse of time and how it anchors consciousness. I am so happy to

weave you into the fabric of my life with the drumming - and I feel so blessed to be included in yours." Jane Byrd

"Thank you for the sharing, the knowledge, the fun & the energy of the drum class" Barry Krueger

"What a beautiful night! I was having these waves of epiphanies wash over me...Very enjoyable and

a great learning experience! Thank you! I feel blessed and honored to have been there to share it."
