HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming

For Earth Day 2013 At Common Ground

HealthRHYTHMS - Group Empowerment Drum Circle- on Sunday, April 21, 2013 from 1-3pm

Feel the Rhythm of the Drum, the Rhythm of the Earth and the Rhythm of your Heart.

Drum circles are one of the longest living forms of community building known to man. Since the Neolithic ages, drums have been found throughout the world showing how important this practice has been for most societies. To survive, tribes depended on one another for sustenance, shelter and also celebration and entertainment activities.

This need to work together defines the concept of the history of drum circles. Each member in the circle works together to create music and no participant is of greater or lesser value than the others.

In Honor of Earth Day celebrations happening across the globe, we will be gathering to share our rhythms, ideas and "Acts of Green" in a community drum circle using the evidence based protocol developed by Barry Bittman, M.D. and Christine Stevens, M.S.W. MT-BC. .

HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming isn't about successful drumming; rather the drum is used as a music-making wellness tool for physical, exercise, communication, creativity, self-expression, and spirituality.

It has been proven to reduce stress, strengthen the immune system, improve mood, reduce burnout, and is a great exercise in music-making while exercising brain activity. No musical experience is needed.

Plan to take a moment to revitalize your connection to yourself, others, and Mother Earth as we come together for Earth Day 2013. (Please feel free to bring your own drums or percussion. Some will be provided.)
