A great new monthly workshop coming to Shaktiva x🌟❤️🙏
MINDFUL DRUM CIRCLES
“Get creative & connected through rhythm, song & mindfulness.”
Mindful Drum Circles:
- are a super accessible and fun way into mindfulness, playing percussion instruments and making improvised music.
- are a bit like a drum jam session but with a facilitator- the key difference.
- use simple games and structures so we can create rhythms together, regardless of musical experience, skill or “talent”.
As the facilitator, I help guide the group so that the music works consistently well. I also lead other games and structures that feed into the music making, by cultivating important music skills, such as listening, timing, volume control, technique, improvisation and understanding of musical ideas such as bars, beats, tempo, space, etc.
I provide a variety of drums such as djembes, bass drum, frame drum or bodhran. Along with a variety of other percussion instruments such as chimes, chime tree, shakers, wood blocks, bells, guiro and xylophone.
We put our rhythms together with simple chants and songs. Later we can create our own chants & songs.
All of this is combined with elements of mindfulness such as noticing sensations in the body, awareness of breathing, directing attention, synchronising movement with breathing, paying attention to sounds etc
We finish each session by co-creating a “chill out soundscape”.
Using more gentle & spacious sounds, we gradually down-regulate our nervous systems to finish in a calm and present state.
