Today was the first chance I had to be in the Drum Circle. I had heard a lot about it from the other clients. It was exciting and stimulating, and I noticed that everyone came alive when we started drumming – clients of all ages. Since I have some vision, I looked around and absolutely everyone was enjoying it. For those who have partial vision, such as myself, the drums were colorful. They reminded me of Haitian art.
I think the drum circle is healthy for a multitude of reasons. You can’t be down in the dumps when you’re drumming. If you’re angry, you can take out your frustrations. For me, this was a great way to release tension. I think everyone got something out of it.
I love music – all kinds of music. The Drum Circle program is reminiscent of another time and place we’ve all been at one point with music. You just get lost in it.
