We are excited to announce the 2008 schedule for one of most popular Body, Mind, and Spirit programs. Come and join us for another great year of fun, creativity, and personal growth with Common Ground's Community Drum Circle.

Drumming is an ancient musical tradition that many cultures around the world use to energize, build unity, focus attention, relax, and heighten creativity.  A community drum circle is a group of people who come together to make in-the-moment music.  No musical experience is necessary and beginners are always welcome.  A facilitator will be present to help participants feel comfortable and learn basic drumming techniques.  Bring your own drum or feel welcome to use one of ours.  No need to register – Just show up!  Community Drum Circle is on the third Wednesday of each month from 6:30pm – 8:30pm.
