I know what you might be thinking, you’re either in one of these two camps.
Camp A
SIGN ME UP! I am so ready to bang the shit out of a drum and get all of this pent-up rage and anxiety out of my body.
Camp B
Absolutely NOT! I am not musical and there is no way in hell you will be getting me into a room and hitting a drum around other people.
Sometimes in order to achieve the goals we desire in regards to our mental health, we have to be open to shaking things up; trying new and creative tools you could never have imagined yourself exploring.
How Group Drumming Works:
- Choose your instrument from a group of percussive instruments. Don’t worry- we will show you how to use it!
- With the support and guidance of our Group Drumming Facilitator you will be prompted and guided in how to use your self-picked instrument to start playing with the group.
What to Expect:
- Laughter. Lots and lots of laughter.
- Vulnerability. But not just you. Everyone there will have never done anything like this before.
- Decrease in anxiety- once you start to settle in your body and enjoy watching others and playing collectively.
- Confidence building- vulnerability is the necessary experience we all must feel in order to then come out the other side with confidence.
Why am I doing this?
- Drumming has proven effects on helping individuals combat anxiety, regulate the nervous system, create an outlet for pent up rage/anger, and provides a fun atmosphere to feel connected to others inside of a collective shared experience.
