Come and have some fun beating on your drum, dance if you get the chance, chant if your spirit moves you. Join us for a drum circle at Yoga Central on select Fridays (6:45 to 8:00 pm), running through the winter months. These are donation-based sessions. Please bring your own drum or percussion instrument. Be creative: a plastic egg partially filled with raw lentils, rice, or beans makes a great homemade percussion instrument!
Drum circles have a rich history in all cultures of providing a meditative way to relax at the end of the day. Join us for a fun community-building drum circle.
It is helpful if you pre-register for free, and have an account with your e-mail address and phone number, then we can contact you with important details, or any changes.
Led by Sally Sutterfield.

Join Narada (Craig) Wise, returning after a long-time hiatus, for an intimate evening of mantra music—with a twist. Alongside traditional chants and prayers, the night will weave original songs with mantra-inflected reinterpretations inspired by Pete Townshend, Peter Gabriel, and The Beatles—music that has long felt like a personal life soundtrack: shared in community, grounding into what matters, steadying the mind, and letting hope sneak in during seasons of change and loss. Supported by Neal Frey (bass) Daniel Kennedy (percussion), and Mike Curtis (classical guitar), this gathering is equal parts heartfelt and welcoming—whether you sing along or simply listen. Friday, February 20 at 7:00 PM at Yoga Central. Bring a friend, bring your voice (or just your listening heart), and come share in an inquiry of sound and stillness.

New Orleans' Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band create a universal style of cross-cultural spiritual music filtered through the depth, sincerity, and soul of their own American and ancestral roots. Their music merges conscious lyrics, sacred chants from the spiritual traditions of yoga and beyond, and roots, rock, gospel, and global grooves. They are known for creating interactive, soul-stirring songs to dance and sing along with as well as to grieve and heal.
In 2005, Seán founded the band as a post-hurricane Katrina philanthropic music project, raising funds across the country for relief from the devastation of the storm. The theme of searching for grace and inspiration amidst challenge and destruction has permeated their music ever since. In 2007, they released their first album, ‘Calling The Spirits’ which caught the ears of pioneering Canadian record producer Terry McBride, founder of Nettwerk Records and Lilith Fair. McBride signed the band to Nettwerk for the release of their follow-up album, ‘Devaloka.’ When Putumayo World Music founder, Dan Storper heard ‘Devaloka,’ he chose music off the record to be featured on Putumayo’s first compilation of music designed for yoga. Inclusion on three Putumayo albums has helped propel the band’s music to listeners across the globe. Their last album ‘Unity’ debuted #1 on the iTunes World Music Chart and #3 on Billboard. Their new album Mystery was just released on Be Still Records, and was named one of the best 50 albums released by Lousisiana musicians this year by Offbeat Magazine. They are a favorite headliner at conscious music festivals across the U.S. and have played The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on multiple occasions.
The band features vocalist/lyricist/harmonium player Seán Johnson; Alvin Young on six-string fretless bass and electric guitar; Narada Wise on drums; and we will also have Chris Rosser, who is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist whose instruments include the Indian dotar, Turkish cumbus oud, melodica, piano, guitar, and bass.
Entire weekend of 4 events is $140 (Early-Bird $130). Friday evening alone is $40; Saturday morning is $40; Sat. evening is $40; Sunday morning is $40.
