Drumming Circle & Uplifting Discussion ๐Ÿช˜โœจ๐ŸŒ
Drumming Circle & Uplifting Discussion ๐Ÿช˜โœจ๐ŸŒ
**NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED** **About Drum & Soul** The only intention behind Drum & Soul is to help create vibrant, healthier, and more united communities โ€“ together. We believe art is the best channel for that purpose. This is more than a drumming circle. It is a practical space where we do two things at once: we develop useful skills and cultivate inner qualities, and we help others grow those same qualities. Through rhythms from many cultures, collective singing and meaningful conversation around a focused theme, we practise skills that strengthen both the individual and the community. **Why come** If you want to expand your expressive capacity, practise listening with depth, learning to lead or join others who take community wellbeing to heart, Drum & Soul is for you. This is a place to try courageously, to learn deeply, and to contribute authentically. Everyone is welcome regardless of background or musical experience. If you feel shy in groups, that is completely natural and we got you. A few of us will gently hover around newcomers like butterflies, offering a warm welcome and quiet space so nobody feels out of place. Many people tell us they arrived nervous but soon felt as if they had stepped into a family home. **How it works** At the start of each session we centre with a short breathing exercise, followed by a demonstration of simple rhythms, then break into small groups for guided conversation. Then weโ€™ll have a potluck meal and continuing our conversation and connection over a break. Finally we move into collective jamming and improvisation. **Typical meeting flow** 1. ๐Ÿซฑ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿซฒ๐Ÿป Arrival & social time โ€“ 15 min 2. ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Welcome, check in and centring โ€“ 15 min 3. ๐Ÿช˜ Call & Respond **Drumming & demo** โ€“ 15 min 4. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Facilitated **Discussion** on the Theme (groups of five-or so) โ€“ 20 min 5. ๐Ÿฆ‹ Potluck **dinner** & social time afterwards โ€“ 40 min 6. ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฝ Open **Jamming** with multiple instruments โ€“ 30 min *This outline is flexible and may shift to suit the group and the space.* **Logistics & what to bring** We meet in a large beautiful space. Drums are available on a first come first served basis. We also provide plenty of small percussion instruments so every hand can play. You are welcome to bring your own drum or instrument. After our time of drumming and dialogue, we share a simple potluck dinner, an extension of our circle where conversation continue to flourish over nourishing food. Feel free to bring whatever you love to share. **Cost & contributions** This is a free event. As a community we are encouraged to contribute even a small snack to share with everyone, or pay what or if you can, to cover the costs of refreshments and material, by E-transfer to: **hooshmandnyc@gmail.com** โ€“ Contributions are optional. **Helpful notes** No prep needed. Doors open at 3:45 p.m. Please arrive by then so we can start at 4:00 p.m. sharp and keep the flow. Location and any last minute updates are posted on Meetup and in our WhatsApp group. We recommend joining the WhatsApp group (ask us for the link at the venue) for quick notices. **Why this matters** The world is ill, and is aching for a lasting remedy. We believe our sacred mission is to nurture one another, define our roles in service to our fellow humans, and become living temples of unity. A meaning growth unfolds through both selfโ€‘discovery and collective effort, and one cannot truly flourish without the other. Come open and prepared to learn, to offer your gifts, and to be strengthened by the power of community. *This ad is also posted in other groups* ๐Ÿ“ท Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/artsoultoronto/) ๐ŸŽฅ [A glimpse from one of our sessions](https://youtu.be/ejfeV1PF-0k)
