A drum circle is a group of people who come together to explore playing percussion instruments, build community and make music in the moment. During a drum circle session, individuals are guided by a facilitator who plans the session in such a way as to invite in those who may be hesitant, teach basic beats and design the session in a way that results in optimal positive mental and physical health outcomes for all. Drum circle facilitators are skilled at group facilitation and unconditional acceptance. Drum circles are non-threatening opportunities to bring individuals together to play as one voice-that of the community sitting in that specific circle. No two drum circle sessions are alike, but the goal is always the same to help participants connect with the rhythms within themselves and their worlds, to release stress and find peace and to see in others the unique gifts each person brings to the circle.

This group promotes the well-being of its members and uses role-playing as a healthy emotional outlet and to help members better understand themselves and others.
