Drumming Circle for Women Living with Cancer February 16, 2011

Research has shown that drumming creates positive changes in immune system functioning. Drumming also relieves stress, energizes and is just plain fun! Facilitated by board-certified music therapist Maya Benattar, this workshop will provide an opportunity to connect with your own personal rhythms as well as create a group rhythm. A variety of drums and percussive instruments from around the world will be used, and games, songs and chants will introduce the “drum shy” to these in a playful manner. Absolutely no previous music experience is necessary! Maya Benattar holds a BS in Music Therapy from SUNY New Paltz and an MA in Music Therapy from New York University. A $10 fee is required at registration. Fee will be returned when you attend. Open to women living with cancer. To learn more or to pre-register (PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED) call Support Connection at 914-962-6402 or 800-532-4290.
