Heart Beats
Join Our Drum Circle!
Why participate in a drum circle?
Typically, people gather to drum in drum “circles” with others from the surrounding community. The drum circle offers equality. It includes people of all ages. The main objective is for us to share rhythm and get in tune with others and ourselves.
Drum circles are not performances, they are soundscapes
No musical experience is needed
Drum Circles are not just about drumming
Drum circles are so much more. Research continues to demonstrate that drumming circles are an effective tool marking statistically significant changes in physical, emotional, mental health and wellness!
Drum circles for seniors have been known to help adults in the following areas:
-
Releasing negative feelings
-
Improving joint mobility, posture, and motor skills
-
Reducing tension, anxiety, depression, and stress
-
Boosting the immune system and increasing energy
-
Making social interactions and feeling a sense of community
AND IT’S FUN!
Heart Beats gather every first Friday of the month at 10:00 in the Lakeview room.
We have a few drums available to use, but you are welcome to bring your own. We hope that you will check us out!
