The Drum Circle is open to the public and free. Bring your own instrument or instruments can be provided for you.

We next meet on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 6 PM.

A drum circle allows for all levels of drum playing experience, You can tap your feet to rhythm. You can join in and experience the benefits.

In a drum circle our individual responses to a rhythm join together as polyrhythms to make a form of 'in the moment' music that lifts our spirits.
It is a collective sound where each person is heard in response to each other. Everybody feels a part of it.
