Healing Earth Rhythms leads a community drum circle every First Friday at Center City Park in downtown Greensboro. The above photo was taken at their last gathering on August 6th from 6:30 pm- 9:00 pm. The next drumming event in Center City Park will be Friday, September 3rd. The event is presented by Greensboro Downtown Parks. You can bring your own drum or use one of the loaner drums. Drum therapy is an ancient approach to promote healing and self expression through rhythm. Some people drum because they enjoy the percussive sound; others drum because it resonates with them spiritually. Regardless of what you get out of the event, as long as you want to be there, you are invited. Drumming is encouraged, but not mandatory.
It is hard tell from the angle of this photograph, but most people in the audience had some type of instrument. The mom in the center of the photo is recording her son who was doing such a great job of keeping the beat to the music. Healing Earth also hold new and full moon drum circles. If you visit the First Friday event, you can learn more about other opportunities to drum. We hope you have a lovely Sunday and that you have a chance to come downtown on a First Friday and participate in the drum circle!
Quite different.
