Drum Circles

“When ever people gather to play the drum the world is a better palce. “
Babatundi Olatinji.
What Are Drum Circles?

   What is a Community Drum Circle?

A CDC is joy made manifest! It is a group of diverse individuals who gather in a circle to create in-the-moment recreational music in a fun, supportive, safe environment. Drum circles are ideally facilitated by a professionally trained CDC facilitator who is passionate about bringing people together to lighten our load, lift our spirits and in doing so heal each other and our world!
 
With simple instructions we quickly learn to play drums from around the world and advance from directed to self-directed play as the drum circle proceeds; no experience is required and drums are provided.

A CDC attracts people from all ages and walks of life; it is diverse, it is about participation, creative self expression, flattening the hierarchy, equality, coming together rather than pulling apart, balance and wellbeing.


Joyful * Playful * Profound

   Why Drumming?

In today’s stressful world people need safe places where they can go to get out of the rat race, to be still, unwind and reinvigorate their tired bodies and minds.

Community Drum Circles are safe and welcoming places where you can express yourself freely, communicate authentically without words and feel the support of a community of like-minded people; they are places where you can explore your outer and your inner world.

People all over the world are waking up to the powerfully positive effect of participating regularly in a Community Drum Circle.  Judy Atkinson, Founder Circles of Rhythm

CDCs are being incorporated into the workplace as professional development for team building and stress relief, into the healing sector for emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing, and into the community for celebration and FUN!
