Our first drum circle will be on June 27, 2020. We will post the remaining dates after the first drum circle. You can sign up on EventBrite or our Facebook group to get reminders. Thank You!
Meetup Group Closed
Our Meetup Group Sacred Heartbeat Drum Circle is officially closed. Please use our Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Twitter or bookmark this web page for Drum Circle information. Thank you!
THE DRUM CIRCLE WILL CONTINUE!!
Our current meetup group page at meetup called Sacred Heartbeat Drum Circle is up for renewal in February 2020. While we are very happy that it has brought many of you to find our meetup group, their escalating membership fees have made it fiscally irresponsible to continue. Our meetup group page will shut down in mid February.
Please understand,
THE DRUM CIRCLE WILL CONTINUE!!
We have enough presence on Facebook, Twitter and on our own site at http://www.PalatineDrumCircle.com to post our upcoming drumming dates, and we will continue to drum 3 times a year for the foreseeable future. If you are not already in our Facebook group, please search for “Sacred Heartbeat Drum Circle” and join the group. On Twitter search for “Sacred Heartbeat Drum Circle”, and again follow the thread for postings. Again, our group is NOT going away, we are just canceling our meetup group. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

What is a Drum Circle?
We are a free-form community drum circle in a low key, loving, peaceful, welcoming environment.
NO DRUMMING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY !!! If you have a heartbeat, you have rhythm!
The only prerequisite is to come and have fun and be one!
From Wikipedia on Drum Circle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_circle
Community drum circles differ from facilitated or conducted drum circles in that the music is entirely improvised through a process of group interaction. There may be a facilitator or moderator who acts to shape the experience through discrete actions, such as helping to maintain a steady beat, helping those who need it, and generally managing the environment to see that everyone is able to participate fully. The participants make up the music as they go along, using their listening and playing skills to make musical connections and express themselves in any and all ways that feel right. Participation is voluntary and often includes drumming, singing or chanting, dancing, and listening. Community drum circles often attract both regular and drop-in participants of all ages and can take place just about anywhere. Community drum circles are the original and most popular form of improvised community drumming.
Please bring your drums, rattles, didgeridoo and other instruments to join in on the jam, if you don’t have your own we will have some limited hand percussion available to share. The is an adult drum circle but teenagers are welcome. Dancing and chanting are encouraged.
