Healing Community Drum Circle • Sacred Chanting • Inner Balancing

Diaspora Arts Connection invites you to join us for a transformative afternoon of rhythm, connection, and collective healing led by Amir Etemadzadeh, an accomplished percussionist, composer, educator, and founder of Amir School of Music. Born and raised in Iran and now based in the Bay Area, Amir has spent decades studying and teaching frame drums, Persian percussion traditions, rhythm, and the healing power of music. Through his performances, workshops, and community gatherings, he has helped bring people together across cultures through the universal language of rhythm and sound.

This immersive gathering invites participants into a welcoming space of presence, creativity, and community through guided drumming, sacred chanting, and energy-balancing practices. Whether you are an experienced musician or have never played a drum before, you are warmly invited to participate.

Together, we will create rhythm, share intention, and experience the joy of making music as a community.
