An Expressive, Creative, Meditative Experience
Mandala: Ancient Sanskrit word meaning “sacred circle.”
Join our sacred circle for a journey of drumming, rhythm-making, improvisation, and vocal expression, awakening your deepest sense of self—your true nature—to flow in harmony with Life.
"Mandala Rhythms Circle" is a unique, guided experience where we explore the magic of co-creating music-making in a welcoming, supportive space. Facilitated by Dee DiGioia of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity, this gathering blends the joyful energy of our "Joyful Rhythms" Drum Circles with the soulful connection of our "Heart and Soul" Song Circles.
Scientific research increasingly validates what ancient cultures and traditions have long known: rhythm, song, and connection have profound effects on our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
DRUMMING & RHYTHM EXPLORATION:
Embark on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and joyful connection that resonates deep within your soul.
Dee will gently guide you through drumming and rhythm activities that inspire playful exploration. There will also be opportunities for free-form, creative expression, where you can let your spirit lead the way.
New to drumming? Never touched a drum before? You’re in the right place. Our circles welcome all experience levels, especially those who have always felt drawn to rhythm but never had the chance to explore it. There’s no need for prior experience or technical skill—this is a space to explore and express freely without worrying about “getting it right.”
Unlike traditional drumming circles, this is a structured, intentional experience designed to inspire connection, build community, and nourish the spirit.
VOCAL EXPLORATION:
Discover the vibrational magic of your voice through:
Songs are taught through the natural flow of repetition—one voice begins, and others join when the melody feels familiar and inviting.
And don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself a singer—this isn’t about skill or performance. All voices are welcome—no matter how you think you sound. It’s about showing up, expressing yourself, and feeling the power of rhythm and song in the collective energy of the circle.
Together, we sing as long as the song feels alive within us, allowing it to flow naturally into meditative rhythms or sacred silence. In these moments of stillness, we invite space for reflection, contemplation, meditation, or prayer, carrying the song’s essence forward in quiet connection.
PARTICIPATION
Everyone is warmly invited to participate in a way that feels most natural to them. Whether you play a drum, shake a rattle, hum or sing softly, or simply listen - your presence adds to the vibrancy of the circle.
Feel the uplifting energy as rhythm and song resonate through your heart, invigorate your body, and nourish your soul!
DRUMS PROVIDED
If you have a drum, bring one -- floor drums (djembes) or hand-held drums (frame or shamanic drums) are welcome. But don't worry - I have plenty of extras available if you don't have any!
