Drum Circle Benefits

Participants develop greater self-awareness and gain a deeper respect for others. An understanding of the essential contribution made by others' roles emerges. The parallels between the drum circle and the workplace are easily made, and are further explored through reflective sessions where participants are encouraged to talk about their experience of the day and how it can be applied to the workplace.

















Our drum leader seeks to achieve an understanding of personalities within the group before an instrument is even picked up. As drums are a highly effective way of highlighting personality traits, our drum leader is able to select and distribute instruments to enable the appropriate participants to grow in confidence by asserting their voice or authority.

Others might need to learn to listen and appreciate what others have to say. Members recognise the challenges their own strengths and weaknesses bring to the team without humiliation or direct confrontation.

















The sessions are not embarrassing and are great in helping develop confidence in quieter, more introverted individuals (without them feeling as if they are in the spotlight). It also teaches about how to draw out quieter members strengths for the benefit of the whole organisation.

Participants will be able to develop their natural sense of rhythm - coming away from the day with something they couldn't do before. It is highly therapeutic and great stress relief. The drum leader encourages participants to get in touch with the rhythm that surrounds them each day - perhaps using rhythm to motivate (increase their pace of work in a newly energized way) or to wind down (not taking home the worries of the day).
