This Saturday Bundle will be hosting over a dozen local artists and live music at Riverfront Park (by the big yellow chair!) from 10am - 2pm. Mask up, stop by, and say 'hi!' And as if that's not exciting enough...
I am thrilled to announce that during this event we will be kicking off a new community venture: Full Moon Drum Circles! Around 1pm this Saturday there will be a group drumming demo on the Artist Market event stage, just to give a little taste of what a drum circles look, sound, and feel like. A little more on what drum circles have to offer:
Benefits for the community:
Drumming activities are on the rise in many institutions, from schools to hospitals to corporate retreats. And for good reason. Drum circles:
~ are enjoyable for all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens
~ require no prior training or experience to participate
~ are free and accessible to all citizens
~ need no special equipment: participants can bring drums or engage through other instruments, voice, movement, yoga, meditation, and even use homemade percussion
Benefits for the individual:
Group drumming is also becoming a widely used form of sound therapy. It is proven to have multiple physical and emotional benefits, such as:
~ Improved aerobic and cardiovascular systems
~ Strengthened immune system
~ Improved mood and reduced burnout of workers under stress
~ Reversed ravages of stress at the cellular level
~ Reduced anxiety, depression and feelings of loneliness
~ Help coping with depression and trauma
I invite anyone and everyone to join us in this inaugural drum circle this Saturday, and again on each of the full moons throughout the fall: Wed Sept 2nd, Thurs Sept 1st, and of course a big Halloween circle on Sat Sept 31st!
More info coming soon. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Hope to see you in the circle this Saturday!
