Drum Circle
Athens Cultural Center, 24 Second Street
Join us on the fourth Thursday of each month to explore the power of drumming to move, connect, and transform. More than simply hearing or playing rhythms, a drum circle is a shared vibrational experience that can be energizing, grounding, healing, and fun. No experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring a hand drum, such as a frame drum, bongo, or similar percussion instrument. A limited number of drums are available upon request. Please contact charlesmichener@msn.com or text 917-370-1591 in advance to reserve one. 6-7:30 pm
