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. |

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.
