EARTHEN RHYTHMS – Learn drumming the fun way!

Workshops | Performances | Corporate Team Building | Schools | Music Therapy | Drum Hire/Repair/Sales

We had a great One-Day Intro to Drum Circle Facilitation Training over the weekend.

Everyone took away plenty of tools, skills and learning from the day to share with their communities in Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Dubbo!

The drumming community continues to grow and bring the joy and power of rhythm to more people in these tough times. Now, more than ever we need to be connected and keep our spirits up.

Drumming and rhythm delivers this in spades.*

The One-Day Intro delivered more than 11 tools to empower Drum Circle Facilitators to lead successful Drum Circles for kids, adults as well as corporate groups.

All based on the work of Arthur Hull and Village Music Circles . Usually we hold an Annual 3 Day Training October, but this had to be postponed in Melbourne this year because of the Covid lockdown and State boarder closures.

Thx to Bek Wermut from Rhythm2Recovery for supporting & Flourish Aust – Newcastle for the space

Life is better with rhythm and when we work together!
