"Throughout the history of Christianity before, playing the drums was used by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures as a means of communication and spirituality and as a way to explore human consciousness in connection with the surrounding world. Grown in a powerful tradition of the divine feminine, these mystical practices have flourished in the temples and places of everyday life, before being forcibly removed by the advent of Christianity.
