A joyful, inclusive experience to move your body, make music, and connect with community.
Join us for this new monthly series designed to strengthen community connection and support overall wellbeing. This free, beginner-friendly gathering features live music, group drumming, cultural learning, mindfulness, and is open to all(ages 12+, a kid-focused circle may be announced in the future).
Presented by the The Summit FM Wellness Program in partnership with Trust Drum Circles, this uplifting session invites you to experience the healing power of music, rhythm, and mindful movement.

A beginner-friendly African drum circle led by Maseh Nchang of Trust Drum Circles, arrive on-time or early for beginner hand drum lessons
