A Keepsake

[Galit G.]

Hi All,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a keepsake item or a small project that participants can take with them after the drumming circle? The theme is values. I've received a request for a drumming circle with a keepsake.

Hi Galit!

I did a workshop last year and asked people to fill out comment cards - I purchased 50 small stone hearts (palm sized - about $25) on Amazon and gave everyone a heart for filling out the comment card. 

You could make the analogy that it’s just a rock - these are just cut and polished?

I know a lot of the promo companies will put logos on mini maracas and egg shakers if you want to spend more and have it directly related.

Hope that helps

Debi

Galit,

Dont know if this is more than they want to spend, but I've done custom imprinted egg shakers for some clients.  Here's the link for the company I've used.  Carolyn was the owner, but it's been awhile so I don't know if she still is.  http://www.eggshakerworld.com/

Debi's idea made me think of this:

Preprint promo items can work for some events, such as promoting an organization or a special day (wedding, alumni reunion, etc)

Since the theme is Values, I think having participants MAKE their own keepsake Will be more meaningful, and more likely that they will actually keep it and not toss it away.

So towards the end of your drumming time, while people are in the circle,ask people to self -reflect on the experience -- is there one word that stands out to them? Or how they are feeling? Or one word they want to take with them?

Then invite people to a side table of supplies and invite them to write that word (or any word of their choosing) on the rock, and they can decorate it if they'd like

This multi-modal expressive arts experience with an artefact they are personally creating will help solidify whatever lessons/insights you are hoping they get from the drumming time

Custom logo Egg Shakers are super souvenirs ..  easy to acquire, transport, keep available (for the crying child on the flight), distribute, percussive (duh!) and depending on logo/colors and number ordered, not that expensive. $3. to $5.+- 

Carolyn Zorn loves to work with facilitators and musicians and has very good product and service. I’ve ordered thousands from her…
