Sacred Fire Drumming Workshop 10 Intensive Clinic
Season 1 Episode 14
The structure of "The Sacred Fire Drumming Intensive" is intentionally designed to balance rigorous technical training with essential creative rest and renewal through a methodology referred to as "A Fusion of Intensity and Serenity".
This balance is the philosophical heart of the intensive and is built upon two complementary pillars that work in harmony to accelerate learning, prevent burnout, and foster deep artistic growth.
1. Rigorous Technical Training (Intensive Drumming Clinics)
The core of the intensive is dedicated to rigorous, skill-based hand drumming instruction. These sessions are designed to push technical boundaries, deepen rhythmic understanding, and forge the powerful sense of ensemble connection required to lock into a collective groove.
The daily schedule includes two major workshop sessions:
• Intensive Drumming Workshop (Session I): A focused, two-hour block (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) for diving deep into technique and rhythmic concepts.
• Intensive Drumming Workshop (Session II): A three-hour block (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM) that combines intensive drumming with creative exploration.
The initial days of the 10-day program (Part I: The Intensive) are focused on building technical proficiency, mastering new rhythms, and repetition, laying a solid technical and communal groundwork. This focus ensures that dedicated daily practice is prepared for translation into powerful, communicative art during the culminating weekend performance showcases (Part II).
2. Creative Rest and Renewal (Creative and Restorative Space)
Periods explicitly designed for rejuvenation are woven around the intensive clinics and are considered an essential part of the curriculum, not merely breaks. This intentional restoration allows the mind to absorb lessons and the body to recover, ensuring participants return to the drum with renewed energy and insight
