What we do

Facilitation is done with body language more often than words.

Drumming Facilitation Sessions on Djembe drums

No matter your age, nationality, language, or religion you can belong and be part of the song. Play the drum, listen and become aware of the part you play in the music and how you contribute to the whole. Then hold your part, or take your moment to express yourself within the structure of the music. As you play, you become part of the synergetic relationship within the rhythm of the drum circle, let go of stress, focus only on the present moment.

During an interactive drumming session, participants are guided by a facilitator to hold their own beat while others play opposite interlocking rhythms. Individuals are given a chance to express themselves within the contained structure of the session. A strong bass drummer holds the beat.
