Regardless of our physical/cognitive limitations, music and rhythm has a way to bring everyone together at the heart.
Don’t worry, EVERYONE CAN DRUM! No Experience Needed – Drums and Percussion Provided.
Our Master Integrated Community Drum Circle facilitators offer a research-based drum circle protocol which
offers the following benefits to seniors and their caregivers alike:
Shifts negative moods to positivity
Lowers blood pressure and heart rate Increases immune system response Reduces Stress, worry, loneliness and frustration Energizes the body and Calms the mind Builds community spirit for the entire care facility!!!
Check out this amazing study which displays not only a remarkable shift in the residents of a long-term care facility in the US. Not only did the residents’ overall health and life satisfaction increase dramatically, but there was also a MAJOR SHIFT in staff turnover, sick time, and overall job satisfaction. All of this was possible simply by adding ONLY ONE HOUR of drumming per week into their facility. Ask us where you can learn more about the amazing research supporting the ICDC as a therapeutic Health and Wellness tool!
What does it look like?
Staff and residents will gather in a circle format, quickly learning to play simple rhythms on drums from around the world. This experience will lift your spirit, energize your body, and un-clutter your minds – in unison! Each and every strike of the drum sends a wave of energy, offering a powerful source of community support and positivity for everyone!
“This experience went way beyond my expectations; I learned something new, and I felt ALIVE and WELL – I LOVED it!”
We all have so much to give, and so much life to live, no matter our age. We all want to find meaning in our work, making even just a small impact in one another’s lives, each and every day. Consider adding regular drum circles to your facility or as a staff development opportunity.

Latasha Estabrooks2024-01-05I have been attending drum circles here since about 2013. It’s one of my favourite ways to spend my time. For me, it doesn’t matter how low I feel. Coming here always lifts me up! It’s the best spirit medicine. The facilitators are Genuine heart led leaders. I feel safe and welcome. I have also noticed a personal shift in the way I show up when I go. Nothing beats drumming and the space that’s provided here.Columbia Valley Drumming2024-01-05I've travelled the world and had MANY eye opening musical experiences but what Circles of Rhythm offers is on its island! It's almost impossible to describe so my recommendation is to place any preconceived notions to the side and try it once. Its simplicity is powerful and ability to unity is needed...Rod MacCormack2024-01-04The Circles of Rhythm drum circle in Inglewood is more than an opportunity to drum along to others and learn percussion skills and get better at musical timing. It is a powerful motivational experience. It can be deeply spiritual. Skill level, race, gender and age do not matter here - every participant is an equal human being who is given a rare chance each week to feel part of a community of friends, family and strangers. A chance to close your eyes and let the weight of the world drift away while you feel one with the pulse of the drumming of all those around you. The hugely skilled and charismatic leader - Julien Lepage - leads the group into basic and more advanced rhythms while inspiring the soul and heart to feel filled with love and acceptance and joy. This drum circle would not be what it is without Julien. Everyone needs to experience a Circles of Rhythm drum circle at least once in their life, regardless of musical skills or talent, or where they are on their mental or spiritual journey. I highly recommend this to all. They provide drums, so no need to bring or buy your own. Just come with an open heart and mind and ride the wave of beats and love. You won’t regret it.Mellisa Nichol2023-12-26For the past 8 years Ive looked forward to attending COR drum circles every Friday night.

I highly recommend trying it out.Dominika Barefoot2023-12-23Great time for the whole family. We had a good time, got to try out all kinds of cool music instruments and my kids loved it all.
