Scrum

## Details **NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED** **About Drum & Soul** The only intention behind Drum & Soul is to help create vibrant, healthier, and more united communities – 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 we’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. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Arrival & social time – 15 min 2. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Welcome, check in and centring – 15 min 3. 🪘 Call & Respond **Drumming & demo** – 15 min 4. 💬 Facilitated **Discussion** on the Theme (groups of five-or so) – 20 min 5. 🦋 Potluck **dinner** & social time afterwards – 40 min 6. 🕺🏽 Open **Jamming** with multiple instruments – 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**](http://hooshmandnyc@gmail.com**) – 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 self‑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* 📷 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/artsoultoronto/) 🎥 [A glimpse from one of our sessions](https://youtu.be/ejfeV1PF-0k)

Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together? Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.

March in Toronto is a mystery… it could be sunshine and birds chirping ☀️ or a little crisp and snowy ❄️ — and honestly? That’s part of the adventure. Let’s get out of the house, breathe in that fresh winter air, stretch our legs, and enjoy one of Toronto’s most beautiful parks together. 💙 **High Park** is the city’s largest public park — full of winding trails, little hills (yes, there are a few! 😄), open green space, squirrels plotting world domination 🐿️, a mini zoo, lakefront views, and some of the prettiest natural scenery in the city. This isn’t a power hike. This isn’t a marathon. This is a **fun, light, social winter wander** — about an hour of walking, chatting, laughing, and just being outside together. 🌬️👟 And then? We warm up at the **Grenadier Café**, right in the heart of the park, for a cozy lunch. ☕🍔🍟 Nothing hits quite like a warm meal after a brisk walk. Fresh air + good conversation + comfort food. That’s the vibe. ✨ *** 📱 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) 👉 **Menu:** [Click Here!](https://www.grenadiercafe.net/grenadiercafemenu) *** ## 📍 Meetup Details 📌 **Meetup Location:** At the **High Park Sign** (west side at Bloor & High Park Ave). Look for Mathew in his famous **Moose Hat!** 🫎🎩 🕚 **Meetup Time:** 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes (March weather waits for no one 😉). 📍 **End Location:** Back to the start. 💰 **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash in person or e-transfer to **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** *** ## ❄️ Weather Policy Please don’t sign up if you’re not ready to walk in the cold or snow. This event is happening in *any* kind of weather — unless it hits -20°C. Then we call it character-building and reschedule. 😅 *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 🥾 Good boots (High Park has hills!) 🧤 Gloves & hat 💧 Water ☕ Something warm to drink 🍫 A small snack if needed *** ## ⏳ Can I Leave Early? Of course! Stay for the walk, stay for lunch, or stay for both. Come for as long (or as little) as you like. And yes — you can just show up on the day if you’re not 100% sure you can make it. ⚠️ Occasionally things happen and events may need to be cancelled — please keep an eye out for updates. *** 👤 **Organizer:** Mathew Questions? Post on the event wall or email **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com** *** Let’s shake off winter blues, get some fresh air in our lungs, and remind ourselves how good it feels to move, connect, and share a meal together. 🌲❄️💛 High Park in winter has its own kind of magic — come see it with us.
