WELCOME BACK Kahlil Cummings and Rachel Hernandez!

THURSDAY, FEB 6th - 7:00 - 9:00 PM
AFRO BRAZILIAN DRUMMING with KAHLIL CUMMINGS:

Join members of Sol Axe as we learn rhythms inspired by Iemanja, both traditional and contemporary, as well as a review of rhythms taught during the Tucson Meet Yourself workshop!

Open to all - and a great time to join Sol Axe!

$20 per person

FRIDAY, FEB 7th - 6:30 -8:00 PM
ORIXA INSPIRED DANCE CLASS with RACHEL HERNANDEZ:

This class is an opportunity to move with intention, inspired by the mythology and the movement of Iemanja. Rachel teaches from a deep well of experience, both professionally and spiritually. Live drumming by Kahlil and community drummers.

In the folkloric spirituality of Bahia, Brazil - Iemanja is recognized as the Orixa (deity) of the ocean, the mother of all, strong and protective of her children, comforting them and cleansing them of their sorrows. She is associated with water, the moon, and is said to govern all things relating to women: childbirth, conception, parenting, child safety, love, and healing.

Her feast day in Bahia is FEBRUARY 2 - where the community, wearing white, processes to the beaches to offer respect and gifts in her honor.
​
Wearing white welcome, as well as bringing your intentions for the year. Your choice. All levels.

$20
