Saar has been playing the djembe drum since 1999, the first time he encountered the instrument was at a family reunion
"The first time I touched this drum, on the spot, I instantly knew, and my mind was set to go on a long spiritual journey".
"I heared an inner voice calling me, inviting to explore, I knew I could be good at this. through the Djembe I could connect with my inner self easily."
Saar played and learned with many teachers in Israel and abroad, participated in West African drumming and dance workshops, visited West Africa and workshops in Europe.

"As a Djembe teacher, I think it is crucial to pay careful attention to the dynamic processes and the way group members co operatr in the group, there is a huge amount of power in playing together in a drum circle ,as a group we can develop and achieve things that cannot be achieved separately.
The Drum circle, opens communication channels, opens hearts to emotion , allows the participants to listen and connect."
