Drum, meditate, and connect. Once a month. Drop in or commit to five sessions for a discount.

Mindful Drumming Global is a monthly 75-90 minute online gathering, lesson, and meditation space designed for frame drummers of all levels. The sessions are structured upon the five steps of Mindful Drumming, a concept I’ve embraced as a teacher, mentor, and musician since I founded it in 2010.

The next session of Mindful Drumming is on Saturday, May 4th at 3 PM CEST (Oslo), 6 AM PDT (LA), 2 PM BST (London), and 9 AM EDT (New York).
In our sessions, we meet to meditate, play, and reflect. I lead a meditation and warm-up, then teach you a short phrase composed for the frame drum. Each session culminates in a Q&A, allowing you to ask me any questions you might have about drumming.

🎯 In Mindful Drumming we address all dimensions of drumming: the mental, physical, emotional, technical, and spiritual. We aim to connect deeply with our drum, body, emotions, mind, and soul to play, and live, lightly.

Mindful Drumming Global 🌏 is a unique opportunity to experience Mindfulness practices blended with the Art of Frame Drumming.

Drop in or sign up for five sessions and receive a 15 % discount. The introductory price is 27 EURO or 29 USD. SIGN UP/ ASK QUESTIONS HERE. A Zoom link will be provided upon payment confirmation.

I look forward to seeing You!

In Mindful Drumming Global I found a retreat from everyday life once a month, with a grounding meditation, short exercises, and warm-up sequences in a nice and supporting group. Maria always provides us with a new uplifting and interesting rhythm for the frame drum. It’s perfect for me and just what I need right now!

Participating in MDG with Maria as our guide and host is a joy. She creates a warm, secure, and friendly circle for us to ask any question so we can all move forward in the mindful journey of drumming. Lots of fun with the challenging small compositions she creates based on different themes that color the month. Do join and experience for yourself!

Learn the Art of Frame Drumming the Mindful Way.

Mindful Drumming is a way of learning, practicing, and playing the frame drum mindfully: with intention, from the heart and connected with the present moment, the drum, your body, mind, and soul. In Mindful Drumming, all aspects of frame drumming are embraced and thought of the emotional, mental, physical, technical, and, in time, spiritual. 

Mindful Drumming encourages the student to find and focus on her strengths as a musician. Something that will enable her to find her unique voice as a musician.

Studying Mindful Drumming can be a step toward playing the frame drum with awareness, ease, and depth. It can be valuable for beginner frame drummers and more advanced students who wish to play with more presence and calm and reexplore the basics.

If you are interested in studying with me, send me an e-mail where you tell me a little about yourself and your aspirations, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Read testimonials from previous students here.

Mindful Drumming - the why

In Mindful Drumming we play with intention, from our heart, not to ”bang the drum” or impress, but as an act of love for the art of drumming.


Mindful Drumming - the how

While playing we focus on staying present with every stroke, connected to our drum, body, mind, and soul. In Mindful Drumming we aim to play with lightness, ease, and melody.
