Drumming circles provide a unique form of exercise and therapy. They can be especially beneficial to individuals with dementia. Residents of Clear Creek Memory Care in Fayetteville, Arkansas recently engaged in their own drumming circle. They were given drum sticks and stability balls to catch the beat with other residents. The result was a powerful therapeutic experience providing a nonverbal way to connect, both with others and with themselves, enhancing their overall quality of life.
The session was covered by local Channel 5 News. You can watch the video here.
