WHYTE NOISE COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE

WHYTE NOISE "Free Spirited" Drum Circle

WELCOMES EVERYONE! To join our gently facilitated Drum Circle where you are invited to heal, release stress, change your mood, feel and contribute to a positive flow of energy, develop your creativity through self expression, enhance 'focused' meditation, trance, share, learn and listen, access your personal spiritual power, improve timing and co-ordination, build endurance and confidence, boost your immune system and be part of a non judgemental group of engaging individuals. We are are a gently woven group of inter-connected, creative spirits. All levels of drummers come together once a week, introductory and experienced, to play in-the-moment, improvised rhythms originating from our hearts.

We are a playful group who encourage and support everyone wishing to participate. Our gracious host, JAKE, provides us with a 'sacred space', Cha Island Tea House (aka the Island) where 'Free Spirits' gather to experience the joy of rhythmical beats while enjoying a unique blend of tea, coffee or beverage of your choice.
