Learn the Health Benefits of Drumming

DERBY, CT - The Community Health Resource Center at Griffin Hospital, 130 Division St., Derby, will host a free presentation on the mind, body and spiritual benefits of group drumming on Tues., May 3 from noon to 1 p.m.

Mark Zarrillo, a local drum circle leader and sound healing practitioner, will host “Community Drumming for Health & Happiness,” an interactive demonstration of group drumming and presentation of its evidence-based health benefits. Participants take part in a hands-on drumming exercise that teaches about finding and locking into a rhythmic pulse, creating a dialogue with the instruments, and creating smiles.

This program is part of a series of free, educational forums hosted by the Community Health Resource Center in an effort to help improve the health of the community.
