The key word is “together,” because drum circles are communities of like-minded people sharing rhythm and playing together. People drum in circles to reduce stress, build community and have fun. It’s one of the few group activities that engages the mind, body and spirit. Drum circles are the oldest form of community-building known to the world. They were around long before 4,000 years before Jesus. In the neolithic age, tribes depended on each member doing his part for the betterment of all. That concept extended to their music-making and entertainment. Drum circles are the same deal; the music is created by everyone contributing to the whole. Everyone in the community can join in and not only make music but commune with one another without inhibition and with their own self-expression. The drum circle also offers true equality, without regard to race, color, creed or sexual orientation. In a drum circle, everyone is equal, no matter their age or skill level. There are three basic types of drum circles A free-form community drum circle, a conducted drum circle, and our drum circle which is a facilitated drum circle… basically it is a “guided” community drum circle. A facilitator helps to focus the intent and improve the quality and effect of the circle, making it easier for everyone to participate. The leader provides a rhythmic ground, supporting and reflecting the others in the group by encouraging and supporting the ideas of the drummers.
