Drum Circle Facilitation

Bring your group together though a drum circle!

If your group would like to have a drum circle, but you don't know where to start, I'd be happy to help!

Drum circle facilitation with Susan West

I will come to your space and facilitate a drum circle for you! This can include instruction on Drum Circle etiquette, some basic rhythms, facilitated games, etc.

Drum Circle Facilitation is generally available within a half-hour to hour drive of Grafton. I ask $150 for a one hour circle depending on the size of the circle. Please inquire for additional cost of circle above 20 people. I ask an additional $25+ if the circle is more than a half hour away.

Bese Saka is also available for a performance/drum circle. All 6 of us come out and give a performance for the first half and then we invite everyone to grab small percussion instruments and drums and join us for the second half. This is a great option to get in both passive and active experience with drumming. It is also terrific for groups who might be shy getting into the drumming as there are more experienced drummers to help lead the way. We ask anywhere from $200-$400 depending on the size of the group and the distance that we have to drive.
