In this workshop, Terri Kuberski will explore with you the benefits of drumming as a way to reduce stress, communicate feeling, build community and honor ourselves and others in a way that is fun and non-threatening.  Drums will be provided for use and no experience is necessary.  You will be given information in this workshop about training to lead drum circles, but please note that this workshop is just a primer and as such, will be focusing on more individual ways to use the drum.

Through interactive exercises:

v      Learn to use the drum as a deep relaxation/meditation tool as we experience the drum’s ability to help us get out of our heads and into our bodies.

v      Explore non-verbal communication styles, as you learn to express your inner-voice through rhythm.   In clients where talking about feelings is a road block, non-verbal rhythm “games” can help them to get in touch will feelings unfelt and give them a safe way to express such feelings. 

v      Create rhythmic medicine for yourself and others, by learning to use the drum as a therapeutic tool to restore the body’s natural vibration.

v   Experience how the power of the drum circle creates a sense of community and well-being. Many nursing homes, hospitals and even corporations are using drum circles to prevent employee burn-out, promote teambuilding, and increase well- being.   $60 (4 CEUs)
