An excellent tool to kick off any kind of brain storming session, and optimize the quantity and quality of new ideas.&lt;br /&gt;I provide the group with the tools they need to figure out the task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Why drumming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2zR_8BB_hRk/SoAzyq3iNwI/AAAAAAAAABM/1BkGtsqtH6E/s1600-h/Drumcircles.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 160px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2zR_8BB_hRk/SoAzyq3iNwI/AAAAAAAAABM/1BkGtsqtH6E/s320/Drumcircles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368347701419325186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music is a universal language, and drumming is one of the most accessible ways for diverse groups of people to make music together.&lt;br /&gt;Drumming encourages teamwork and builds skills in listening, participating, and leadership.&lt;br /&gt;Our goal is to help people build stronger communities through making music together in the classroom, at team-building events, and at &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/community"&gt;community gatherings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interest in facilitated drum circles as a way of community gathering has been growing rapidly all over the world and is happening in many settings.&lt;br /&gt;As well as community circles open to the public, facilitated drum circles are being used in &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/schools"&gt;schools&lt;/a&gt; as an educational tool are taking place in multi-national corporations and governments for morale building, in &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/seniors"&gt;health care facilities with the well-elderly&lt;/a&gt;, cancer patients, recovering addicts, alzheimer patients ...and the list grows as more people experience the positive effects of self-expression in a creative and friendly environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only are drum circles a wonderful way to have fun and meet new friends. Other recognized benefits include it as exercise for the mind, body, spirit and a &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/drumming-reduces-stress"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;great stress reducer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drum circles are coordinated by a facilitator in order to help the group have fun making music together and no musical experience is necessary in order to participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all rhythmical beings! This multi-generational, multi-cultural, activity encourages listening and relating to each other without words and is really a re-connection to the ancient wisdom found in all cultures about the beauty and importance of &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/community"&gt;community&lt;/a&gt; gatherings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past few decades, there has been a movement to uncover and recover the ancient art form of drumming and making music together as a community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The late Babatunde Olatunji, a gifted drummer and inspirational teacher, made it his life mission to help create peace in the world by encouraging people to communicate and celebrate life through music.He said: “All people from all walks of life, all colors, have various things they can do together to create harmony, and it is the simplest to make music and sing together."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email - Michael (at) DrumaticInnovation (dot) com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or Call Michael 360 485 7501&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/"&gt;www.DrumaticInnovation.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/drum-class-events" target="_blank"&gt;Drum Classes&lt;/a&gt; are now available in Sandpoint ID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/about-drums/drum-repair" target="_blank"&gt;Drum Repair&lt;/a&gt; is now available in &lt;span&gt;Sandpoint&lt;/span&gt; ID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/about-drums/drum-tuning" target="_blank"&gt;Drum Tuning&lt;/a&gt; is now available in &lt;span&gt;Sandpoint&lt;/span&gt; ID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drumming &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/drumming-reduces-stress" target="_blank"&gt;Reduces Stress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drumming is Fantastic for &lt;a href="http://drumaticinnovation.com/benefits-drumming/seniors" target="_blank"&gt;Seniors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1214897364470957139-6048855930907996406?l=icuradrummer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://icuradrummer2.blogspot.com/feeds/6048855930907996406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://icuradrummer2.blogspot.com/2009/08/have-you-ever-thought-about-hosting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1214897364470957139/posts/default/6048855930907996406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1214897364470957139/posts/default/6048855930907996406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://icuradrummer2.blogspot.com/2009/08/have-you-ever-thought-about-hosting.html' title='Host a Drumcircle at Your Next Event?'/><author><name>IcuraDrummer2</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08874535483555180972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oLQ2c8fUBY0/TodlUOVCXDI/AAAAAAAAADs/KNFus3wKLc4/s220/DrumCircle.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2zR_8BB_hRk/Snr_VQXrWvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/UNSJcf8APu4/s72-c/DrumaticDrumcircle.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
