In our fast-paced world, finding moments of connection, relaxation, and shared joy can be rare. Be The Change Be The Light is dedicated to creating spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves and their community, heal through connection, and embrace the joy of presence. One of our most beloved events, the Community Drum Circle with Chad, offers exactly that—a space to unwind, let go, and connect through rhythm and sound.
What Is a Community Drum Circle?
A community drum circle is more than just a gathering to make music; it’s a chance to connect with others, to feel the energy of a shared beat, and to experience a form of healing that goes beyond words. Our event is informal, inclusive, and open to everyone—no musical experience or skill level required. Whether you want to drum, shake a rattle, dance, chant, sing, or simply relax in one of The Healing Collective’s cozy recliners, the experience is yours to shape. We welcome you to come as you are, without expectations or obligations.
Drumming has been used across cultures for centuries as a way to bring people together, celebrate life, and even as a form of meditation and healing. The repetitive rhythm of the drumbeat encourages relaxation, reduces stress, and can even enhance mental clarity. There’s something powerful about participating in a community activity where everyone contributes to a collective sound, making it both an invigorating and calming experience.
What to Expect at Our Drum Circle Event
When you arrive, you’ll find an inviting space set up with a variety of drums, rattles, and other percussion instruments. If you don’t have a drum, don’t worry—we have extras ready for you. Chad, our drum circle facilitator, guides the event with a gentle, encouraging presence, creating an open atmosphere for all to feel comfortable.
At our Community Drum Circle, there are no strict rules or set agendas. You’re free to drum along, follow the rhythm, add your own flair, or simply close your eyes and listen. Our circle evolves naturally, with participants leading the way and expressing themselves in whatever way feels right. The experience is all about spontaneity, intuition, and unity.
There’s a space for everyone—whether you want to dance, clap, sing, or lay back and simply take in the energy. It’s a judgment-free zone designed for you to explore whatever feels most natural.
Why Attend a Community Drum Circle?
- Stress Relief and Relaxation
The repetitive rhythms in a drum circle can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation. Many attendees describe the experience as meditative, finding that the beat of the drums allows them to be present, tune into their bodies, and let go of the worries that might otherwise occupy their minds. The communal nature of drumming creates a shared energy that fosters a sense of calm and belonging. - No Pressure, No Expectations
Unlike other activities that may require skill or practice, there are no expectations in our drum circle. You don’t need to be an experienced drummer to join, and you don’t even need to drum if you don’t feel like it. Whether you choose to drum, dance, sing, or relax, you’re welcome just as you are. - Healing through Community
Drum circles have a unique way of bringing people together and creating a sense of community. In a world where many of us feel isolated, events like these offer a space for connection and shared experience. You’re surrounded by individuals who, like you, are looking to reconnect, relax, and heal through music and presence. - Creative Expression
For those who want to express themselves, a drum circle is a fantastic outlet. There’s room for creativity and spontaneity as each participant brings their unique rhythm and energy to the circle. It’s a liberating experience where you can express yourself without words, tapping into the natural rhythm within you. - It’s Free and Open to All
At Be The Change Be The Light, we believe that healing and community should be accessible. That’s why our Community Drum Circle is free to attend. Donations are always appreciated, but there’s no obligation. Just bring yourself, and if you have an instrument of your own, feel free to bring it along.
