Welcome to the Google Group for Drum Circle Facilitators!

Discuss everything under the sun about drumcircles here. We have a huge membership from all over the globe, with a special focus on drum circle facilitation (DCF).

If you're in Europe, consider also joining the Euro DCF group at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/EDCF/. Not everything happens on both groups!

If you don't know what drum circle facilitation means then, once you join, please read the archives and watch the messages for a while before jumping in - so you can get an idea of what we're all about.

Email the group at Drumcircle-Facilitators@googlegroups.com

You can ask questions of, share experiences with, and offer advice to, all the other members of the group. It's an unmoderated group, which means that your messages and replies go straight to the list. Do please delete all but the text you're replying to before you press "Reply" *.

EVENTS: membership is international, so include location (city, country, etc.) and date in the subject line for events.

Most of us have read the book by, and/or trained with, Arthur Hull who - er - wrote the book(s)! [Drum Circle Spirit, 1998: ISBN 09416 77842; and Drum Circle Facilitation, 2007: ISBN 09724 30717].

Many people were - and are - doing facilitation without having heard of Arthur Hull, but he helped to give us a language to describe the things that happen in all facilitated drum circles and, inevitably, we use quite a lot of what might seem like jargon when talking to each other. Reading the books will help you understand both what we're about, and what we're talking about.

Feel free to email the whole group with your drumming/facilitating questions at Drumcircle-Facilitators@googlegroups.com

WELCOME EVERYONE!!

and remember...

Life's a dance - and we play the music for it!
