Drumming Up Possibilities – A Celebration of LIOS’s Return
You are invited to participate in what is becoming an annual drum circle, this year focusing on celebrating the progress made towards LIOS offering a Master’s program. Jim Boneau is a LIOS grad from 2006 and is now an internationally known leadership coach and drum circle facilitator. Jim has combined many of the foundational LIOS concepts with the power of interactive, improvisational music making to create.
This drum circle event will allow you to explore how rhythm can spark creativity, create new connections, and also benefit from the many unconscious benefits of improvisation rhythm making with others. Jim will offer some of the science along with a fun, fully interactive experience. Everyone is invited – no experience needed. No musical proficiency needed. All you need to bring is your willingness to explore, play, and learn.
Facilitated improvisational rhythm experiences have been identified as one of the most accessible and neurologically powerful forms of experiential development. Accessible because no formal music training is required to start. Neurologically powerful because of the new neuropathways individuals develop while playing music with others. Mix those elements with a group looking to connect or innovate, and you have the ingredients necessary to tap into magic.
