Are you aware of the benefits and blessings of Drumming Circles?
This is a phenomena that is growing quickly worldwide. People from
many different backgrounds are participating in these events and finding a
joyful, playful experience which reduces stress and releases natural
bio-chemicals which boost our immunities. In addition, there is
a meditative, trance-like state produced which satisfies our spiritual
natures. We re-learn how to play like children, and just plain
have fun.
Patrick Pinson, owner of Cedar Mountain Drums, leads
drum-making workshops, drumming circles and play sessions throughout the country. He
holds an M.A. in Counseling and Rehabilitation, and has used Drumming Circles in
drug/alcohol recovery groups, corporations, schools and prisons.
