Salt Therapy, November 13th, 2025
Winter - Stillness and Restoration
Winter Tea Ceremony, February 19, 2026
Spring - Renewal & Awakening
Drum Circles, April 27, 2026
The Wellness Section will host its third and final event of the year focused on - Spring Awakening!
To celebrate, the event will be “drumroll," DRUMMING!
Drum circles are fun, energizing and brain building! Join us at the Women’s Drum Center in St. Paul for a special event designed for the Morningside Women’s Club. The session will begin with an introduction to West African drums and proper playing technique. After that short introduction we will learn some traditional rhythms and then a complete traditional song! Research has shown that drumming benefits body, mind and spirit; learning to play an instrument benefits brain power in significant ways - one of the best is growth of the Corpus Collosum leading to measurable brain processing benefits.
