Drumming helps to ease anxiety, promote relaxation, and provides a feeling of comfort. The most common form of drum therapy is a drumming circle.
Through group drumming therapy, people can open themselves up to a vulnerable place that allows for more significant healing and greater understanding. Feelings of isolation and disconnection are common in our modern world, dominated by screen time and social media. A drum circle can help repair those connections and bring people a new sense of belonging and inclusion.
The benefits of drumming include:
• Relief of chronic pain
• Stress reduction
• Immune system booster
• Deeper awareness
• Access to parts of the brain for healing and mindfulness
• Connection with nature, a spiritual source, or higher power
• Release of emotions, trauma, and negative feelings
• Being part of a whole
• Sense of belonging
