Imagine yourself in the center of a circle of diverse people: teachers, managers, doctors, students, workers - each person with their own percussion instrument, most having never played before. It is up to you to conduct the group and lead them through an experience of listening and rhythmically responding until the individuals have blended into the circle and your community is orchestrated, playing beautiful music together.

With Arthur Hull's technique anyone can learn to lead this group into a successful musical experience that will build an orchestra out of novices and create a community out of individuals. Creativity, cooperation and inspiration emerge as individuals become a cohesive supportive group, pulsating with rhythm, spirit and fun.

The Japan Weekend Facilitators' Playshop offers an opportunity for those who work with groups of people to learn rhythm facilitation skills and community building techniques through the metaphor of a drum circle at a Buddhist temple at the foot of beautiful Mt. Fuji.

Arthur Hull has defined the field of Drum Circle Facilitation. He offers you this opportunity to learn from the source and enter his growing community of rhythm inspired facilitators.
