How to Join a Woman's Drum Circle

Introduction

Drum circles, those rhythmic enclaves of camaraderie, spirituality and hand drums, can include families, teens, men, woman or children. Many females prefer a drum circle to bond with other women and spend time getting in touch with feminine energy through drumming. If you want to join a woman's drumming circle, here's where to look.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Steps

1

Step One

Contact your local woman's club or organization. This is probably the best way to find female-oriented drumming circles. A woman's drumming circle has a different focus than other drumming circles, so call or email a feminist group in your area for information on one that you can join.

Step Two

Talk to your yoga teacher, Aruvedya instructor or massage therapist. Many holistic practitioners know about healing therapy groups, which often include drum circles and woman's drum circles.

Step Three

Start your own woman's drum circle and invite others to join you. If you live in a small town or wish to participate in a small drum circle that's "just between friends," this is a good option. Ask friends or post ads to recruit members on local drum circle or women's organization websites.

Step Four

Learn about different drum rhythms and instruments. The Djembe drum, a West African hand drum, is a popular choice for drum circles, but homemade drums are often used.
