Why Is A Drum Circle So Good?

A drum circle is a celebration of life, community, and music-making in the moment.
Participants sit in a circle while playing drums and hand percussion and join in creating a group rhythm. The circle is moderated by a facilitator who guides the group in rhythms and rhythm-based activities.
The community drum circle is an opportunity to enjoy a group activity with friends and neighbours. It is a family-friendly event and open to all ages. No previous musical or drumming experience is necessary.
It's all about FUN!
​
Drum circles have many benefits and promote wellness, nurturing and social support, learning and intellectual stimulation, self-expression and stress reduction.
