Community-Building Expressive Drum Circles

10.27 Healing Partnership hosts drop-in community conscious and expressive drum circles led by Stephanie and Bob Miller. Come and experience the healing power of music and build community! No skill is needed to participate. All are welcome, the events are free, and instruments will be provided.

In 2023 the Millers were interviewed in the Jewish Chronicle about their work with the 10.27 Healing Partnership and the community.

“We just create a space where people can come and express how they’re feeling in the moment,” Stephanie Miller said.

“As trained drum circle facilitators, both Bob and I are there to help, guide and facilitate, but really we’re not telling people what to do,” she continued. “We’re just there to help deepen the experience and get feedback from everyone attending about what they want to get out of it. Sometimes people are more in a meditative relaxing state. Other times [people] need to just let off some steam.”

Upcoming drum circles:

“Drumming circleA blast of positive energyBeginning with a simple melodyThen more and more and more and more melodious combinationsA little bit of flying spiritA little bit of love and joyA little bit of peace and harmonyA little more flying spiritA little more love and joyA little more peace and harmonyIt all begins with safety and loveAnd carries on with courage and spontaneous creativityMaybe a little clappingMaybe a dance of the spiritMaybe a small communityOr energy that transcends and transcends the physical spaceHello sound I hear you and I loveThe sounds of the spiritHello sound I hear you and appreciate a small world of joyBeaming now to the larger world and noticed as a source of light and love and harmony and peace.”
