CREATE: No Wrong Notes (HandPan Workshop)

What if you had a space to experiment with sound? In this hands-on handpan experience, you'll discover an instrument designed for curiosity, creativity, and connection: The Handpan. With no musical background required and no "wrong" notes to play, you are free to explore sound, rhythm, and melody at your own pace. In this workshop, you will explore simple playing techniques, create spontaneous rhythms and melodies, and experience the joy of making music together. Through playful experimentation and a collective jam session, we'll use sound as a way to express ourselves, listen deeply, and find grounding in the present moment.
