Rhythms of Wellbeing – Community Drum Circle: Berwick Contemplative Arts (BCA)

Join BCA and Frame Drummer and Drum Circle Facilitator Jackie Drew for a fun and enlivening Drum Circle.

What is a community drum circle?

An informal and friendly get together to make ‘in-the-moment’ rhythmic music, with drums and other percussion. We play most of the drums with our hands and you can play with any of the drums, shakers, bells and other instruments provided in the sessions.

This is not a ‘technique’ class and no previous drumming experience is needed. We will use the drums and percussion to create sounds and rhythms that can be deeply relaxing and calming and energising too! As drum circle facilitator, Jackie gently guides participants into the session to find and play rhythmic patterns together, creating connections and sharing time away from the demands of day-to-day life. Some people think they have no rhythm – just come along and discover how drum circles can create a safe space to find your own inner rhythm that you may not realise you have.

Taking part in a drum circle can help improve physical and mental wellbeing, and is great fun! All adults (age 18+) are welcome and remember – there are no ‘wrong’ notes – just variations. All drums and percussion are provided.
