“Drumming is the simplest thing that we can do to bring us together.”
— Babatunde Olatunji

This summer, Ars Nova Workshop and The Woodlands present Spiritual Atmosferic Cleansing, a recurring “rhythmic release” featuring percussion, song, storytelling, and more. Led by Philadelphia percussionist Karen Smith, Spiritual Atmosferic Cleansing is an informal gathering that seeks to provide a space for us to get in tune with ourselves and others.

We hope to see you this summer, every other Wednesday at The Woodlands starting June 30!
