What is a Drum Circle?
A drum circle is a rhythm-based event where a diverse group of individuals and instruments are gathered for the common purpose of empowering a community with creative self expression in a group music making experience. Rhythmical expression is as ancient and unique as man and found through out world, represented in art, celebration, meditation, and wellness situations. Drum Circles are commonly used for social gatherings or to promote wellness in populations such as nursing homes, assisted living, at risk youth, mentally or physically challenged, and various community / corporate situations.
A Community Drum Circle is a place for individuals to express themselves through the use of drums and percussion instruments. These instruments are accessible to multi-generational and multicultural communities. An individual can express themselves through the instrument without much skill or technique, becoming a part in the group song. The use of different timbal instruments (drums, shakers, bells, etc.) allows the group to experience a metaphoric relation of the unique individuals involved in creating a diverse spontaneous rhythmic song, fun for the the whole group. As the groups sounds evolve, participants begin to hear the rhythmic interdependent relationships creating the songs.

A
Facilitator is an individual who makes this interactive music
making experience "easier" for the participants.
A Facilitator on the most nominal description, is creating
a space for the expression of a community. Trained professional
facilitators recognize the need for empowering each individual
as the consciousness of the entire group evolves into a musical
composition. 
Professional Drum Circle Facilitators can help design an event
that can be seemlessly incorporated with your event. Drum
Circle Facilitators are act in service to the group, helping
individuals achieve greater personal potential, shared joy,
and interdependent group dynamics. A Facilitator develops
a rapport with the participants and through various techniques
is able to assist the music into various compositions unique
to the population. These compositions become musically sound
as the facilitator guides the group to listen and explore
their personal expression interacting as an audible organism.
Trained Facilitators have a consistent style and technique
often inspired by the various communities they regularly work
with.
