After a ride to the mountains, you'll disembark and walk across a stream for a greeting by the locals. Join in fun, hands-on activities like jewelry design, drum carving, soap-making and more as you gain a unique understanding of the history and beliefs of this storied movement. Then, you'll get to play along in an inspiring drum circle with the talented musicians of the village.
