WHAT TO EXPECT?

This training is best suited for a group of 6 – 30 participants seeking to learn how to lead their own Drum Circles. The training will focus on COR’s Integrative Community Drum Circle (ICDC) and its therapeutic techniques & modalities. Your instructors will offer practice, support, and direction on how these ICDC techniques could be implemented as a regular therapeutic program. 

We customize the training to your agency’s programs & mandate, focusing on the main targets:

  • Community development,
  • Offering self-regulation & co-regulation skills using the drum
  • Trauma-sensitive language & considerations
  • Improved emotional intelligence
  • Awareness of non-verbal communication
  • Kinetic mood-retraining
  • Behavioural activation
  • Senior/Geriatric Services
  • Promoting self-esteem & self-awareness.

These are evidence-based skills that have been proven to be extremely effective for all: Staff, clients & their families, and community members alike!

Participants will leave the training feeling ready and capable of being the lead facilitator and/or co-facilitator of their own Integrated Community Drum Circle within their community – AND – will feel comfortable applying gentle drum techniques of the “Drum Wash” and “Rhythm Cradle” within their respective practice. 

WHAT YOU WILL GET

  • A FREE DRUM CIRCLE. We believe that the best way to get buy-in from the community is to have a “launch” event. Our Master ICDC Facilitators will offer a community drum circle to a group of your choice. This will generate interest, and will also demonstrate to your future facilitators what is possible when leading their own drum circles!
