WELCOME
Welcome to the vibrant world of community drum circles! As a facilitator, you have the unique opportunity to bring people together through rhythm, connection, and collective creativity.

​

Whether you're passionate about music, community building, or personal development, becoming a facilitator allows you to share your love of rhythm with others while making a positive difference in the world.
3 DAY INTENSIVE VMC DRUM CIRCLE
FACILITATION TRAINING
In this intensive, we'll explore the fundamentals of facilitating a drum circle, from creating a welcoming environment to guiding participants of all skill levels in rhythmic exploration. Whether you're a seasoned musician or someone new to drumming, the principles of facilitation remain the same: to foster inclusivity, encourage self-expression, and cultivate a sense of unity among participants.
​
Throughout this journey, you'll discover the transformative power of rhythm as a universal language that transcends boundaries of age, background, and experience. Together, we'll explore techniques for building rapport, leading rhythmic exercises, and navigating group dynamics to ensure that every participant feels valued and heard.
