Description

It's the day before Juneteenth. Join us for a day of community healing. All are welcome. It's a family affair, activities for kids and adults. You can bring your drum or use one of ours. Experience the healing benefits of the drum rhythms. African hand drums communicate, celebrate, mourn and inspire. They're played in times of peace and war, planting and harvesting, birth and death. Drums have been such a large part of Africans' daily experience for so long that drumming pulses throughout their collective unconscious. It's in their genes. Integrates mind, body, and spirit. Drum circles create fun, supportive, and safe environments. The focus is on the whole body. Integrates physical and spiritual and releases negative feelings. Drumming can positively affect your health and may help with many conditions from stress, fatigue, and anxiety to hypertension, asthma, chronic pain, arthritis, mental illness, addiction, and even cancer. Drumming is good for you. It makes you happy. Sponsored by the Center for Leadership of Afrikan Women's Wellness (CLAWW), United Methodist Children's Services (UMCS), Mental Health America-WI (MHA,) and the Peace Garden Project-MKE.
