		<description><![CDATA[What is Drum Circle Facilitation? Before we answer the above question, let&#8217;s consider the definition of a drum circle. A drum circle is a gathering of people who come together for the purpose of creating music together and who create that music through a process of improvisation. Simply put, a drum circle is a community–oriented [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all heard about drum circle and drum circle facilitation, but what does it mean to truly facilitate a musical group process? In some circles, the term &#8216;facilitate&#8217; is used interchangeably with &#8216;conduct,&#8217; such as &#8220;I facilitated a stop cue,&#8221; but is conducting the same thing as facilitating?

It invites participants to laugh in different voices and can prompt creative thinking, rhyming, silliness, and laughter!
