Women's Programs
Cheri offers programs specially designed for women, and girls that foster a deep nurturing of the feminine spirit in all it's forms: wild, soft, subtle, sensual, playful, intense and empowering. Cheri has worked with Women's groups for over 10 years all over the world using the drum, song, and music as effective tools for empowerment, healing, ceremony, expression and community building with women.
There are so many reasons for women to come together to share and explore: for healing, for celebration,for strength, for inspiration, for unity, for removal of our often built in programming from both our patriarchal world and other women, on and on and on. Being together strengthens our connectivity as women and helps to heal our worlds as we become empowered and enlivened thru self expression and creativity. Women entrain almost immediately and working with women in rhythm is such a natural opportunity to experience the true feminine spirit of cooperation, unity and nurturing.

SOUL SISTAH'S: Drumming for Women
This workshop is a foundational experience that offers women and girls a safe space to explore and learn together. It is designed for beginner to intermediate drummers and will cover the following: approaching the drum, hand technique, body mechanics, breathing, rhythmical building blocks, feeling the beat, finding the one, relaxing into the groove, and one ensemble piece. This is a 3 hour workshop and can be done in a series as well where each class will build on the one before it. For this workshop, djembes will be used, and participants can purchase or rent a drum from RH if they don’t have one.
THE MUSE EXPERIENCE FOR WOMEN
A Muse opportunity for women only to explore safety, courage, expressionism and making music with other women. See the Magical Mystical Muse page on this site for more info on the muse.
SOUL SISTAH’S: WOMAN TO WOMAN
In Woman to Woman we will explore the dynamics of female/female relationships: mother/daughter, sisters, girlfriends and more. We will explore and share experiences we’ve had from and with other women, and in ourselves: dominance, submission, deceipt, insecurities, etc. and unveil the truth living behind and beneath the “cattiness” that women often experience from other women or find themselves feeling. Effective and loving ways of disarming the “bitch” within ourselves and other women will be shared as well as an indepth look at why seemingly “empowered” women often are “intimidated” by each other or clash when trying to work together. By healing these places in ourselves, we can help to establish beautiful and truly feminine models of women working and sharing together: the real woman’s way.
