Drum Circles Beat Da Blues

How Can a Drum Circle Help Beat Da Blues?

The FlowliciousXperience featuring the Motherland Music Drum Circle returns to Inglewood Open Studios this weekend. Knowing how tense Election Season (or what I call "realiteasin' season") can be for us humans, I asked ChatGPT to give me five key benefits of attending a drum circle after a stressful experience.

The response:

"Attending a drum circle after a stressful event can be a powerful way to relax, connect, and heal. Here are five key benefits:

1. Stress Relief and Relaxation

2. Mood Elevation and Emotional Release

3. Enhanced Social Connection and Support

4. Mindfulness and Presence

5. Physical and Energetic Release

Drumming is a physical activity, engaging the body as well as the mind. The energy expended in rhythm-making releases physical tension, while also tapping into the body’s natural energy. This physical release can help reduce stress-related tension, loosen tight muscles, and create a sense of physical rejuvenation.

In sum, a drum circle can be a profound, holistic experience, engaging the mind, body, and spirit in a way that helps release stress and foster a sense of calm, community, and healing."

Not bad for AI. And it ain't wrong, nuthin' beats – pun intended – the blues like a community drum circle. Come Flow for yourself! Bring friend!
