Drum Circle

Experience Overview

Drum Circle – Feel the Rhythm is a facilitated leisure experience rooted in therapeutic recreation principles, using rhythm as a tool for regulation, expression, and social connection. This is not a performance-based music session, but an invitation to explore rhythm as a shared human language. Participants are guided to engage with percussion in ways that support nervous system regulation, presence, and collective attunement. No musical background is required. The focus is on listening, responding, and noticing both internally and within the group. Rhythm becomes a way to explore energy, emotion, and connection without the need for words. This session intentionally supports: Emotional regulation and stress release through rhythmic engagement Social connection, synchrony, and group awareness Confidence and self-expression without pressure to “perform” Leisure skill development related to music, embodiment, and play Reflection is gently woven throughout the experience, inviting participants to notice how rhythm shows up in their bodies, their relationships, and their daily lives. The session closes by connecting the experience back to leisure as a meaningful, accessible resource for well-being.
