Rhythm in the round by Candy Davis

You’ve probably read all the great press on rhythm events—a broad category that includes everything from exploring improvisational vocalization, body percussion, and the use of found objects, to formal drum circles and even drumming classes with local artists. Many event coordinators may not realize that creating rhythm together allows participants to experience all seven dimensions of wellness in a single activity, including occupational and environmental.

You’re eager to start a rhythm circle at your facility, but frankly, you consider it hopeless because you are a non-musician (and so are most of your clients), so you’ve backed away from the idea. And anyway, whose budget could support buying a lot of instruments, let alone bringing in a professional facilitator once a week?
