A Monthly Social Audio Play Gathering First Wednesday of the month live on Zoom and Clubhouse App

Gather ’round our “campfire of the imagination” — a cozy online gathering hosted by Wellness Percussion teacher Brandon Blake. Bring your kalimba (or any instrument) and play, share, or simply listen as we explore sound together.
Held monthly on Zoom and Clubhouse, the Kalimba Campfire is a welcoming space for all levels — from first-time players to experienced sound healers. It’s sometimes silly, often profound, and always full of heart.
