👉 Watch the amazing Gueye leading a vibrant Djembe drumming session at the Rhythms of Nature workshop during Wakehurst’s Art in Nature Festival 🌿🥁
Some of our Holistic Harmony participants, staff and volunteers had the chance to learn the basics of drumming as part of our recent community day out — and fully embraced the rhythm, energy and joy of the experience!
