Therapeutic Drumming - Drum Therapy

What is Therapeutic Drumming?

Therapeutic drumming works exactly as a regular drum circle as explained on the home page. Only in this setting the facilitator gives more time to the process of feelings that may have risen during the workshop. An experienced facilitator would know when or when not to encourage the development of the player. Often when working with vulnerable clients a greater degree of sensitivity is required for them to actualize their emotions. Drumming can be seen as being a great stress release medium. And it is. Though there is a sense of healthy release and unhealthy. Having a focus and an unconditional support can help in giving the feeling authenticity.

When does therapeutic drumming become spiritual?

The coming together of people to drum dance and sing has been around since the dawn of man. It's power to transform lies in the wiliness to surrender to the experience. Certainly a feeling of connection and of moving stale energy and relaxing are common. People report getting back in touch with their authentic self and a rise in self-esteem.

What groups can benefit?

Anyone with a pulse, basically.

There is some fantastic scientific research which has shown 1 hour of drumming can lower blood pressure and increase the killer cell activity that fights cancer.

Also there is experience of people in the late stages of dementia still be able to repeat simple rhythmic patterns as music has been found to rest in the right brain when the dementia hasn't affected the cognitive response.

Facilitators are using drumming in amazing ways to bring communities together, to sow seeds of peace, in men's and women's groups, prisons, youth groups and community.
