Come and enjoy the uplifting, joyful, healing power of the drumming circle. No experience with drumming is necessary. Everyone has a drummer inside. All you need is a drum to find him/her. Drums and rhythm instruments will be provided, but if you have a drum or rhythm instrument of your own please bring it along. (A small plastic bottle with beans inside makes a great shaker!)

If you’ve ever longed to get your hands on a drum, if you like to move when you hear a beat, whether it be as simple as clapping your hands or tapping your feet, or if you’re just plain curious, then come. Most of the people in Jane’s circles have never drummed before. All have discovered the joy of speaking with a new voice - the voice of the drum!

The Recreation Department will be hosting the first of its monthly Drumming Circles, The drumming circle is an integrated event open to all.
