United Campus Ministry: Drum circle notice
The monthly drum circle in this college town is always a big draw, with a pasta supper beforehand and plenty of tambourines and West African djembe drums to go around.
The crowd on a Friday night early last month was unusually large, drawn by word that an expert drummer would lead the session, and the 60-some percussionists produced a powerfully resonant sound, spurring participants to leap to their feet and dance.
“A wonderful space of energy and stress release,’’ said Larry Brickner-Wood, the executive director of United Campus Ministry, a nonprofit interfaith center, where the drumming sessions are held.
