Wow, that is really cool! Thank you, Anna, for posting about it! Quite a line-up, they have. I'm sending the link to all my friends here. Wow--I imagine that anyone attending all or even most of the sessions would come out of there with their mind just fizzing with new thoughts.

As a drumming group they share mystical African beats of life with the audience and invite their involvement. Pipe dream, but right up my alley.
