About Drum Circle Spirit

Arthur Hull, recognized as the father of the drum circle movement, uses rhythm circles as a tool for social awareness and change. Drum Circle Spirit tells the story of Arthur’s experiences in bringing empowerment through music to diverse communities and organizations. It is a how-to book for anyone who would like to learn the technical skills inherent in organizing and facilitating a rhythm based community event.

Rhythm circles are ideal for spirit building among personal growth and religious groups, team building in major corporations throughout the world, to ease tensions between rival street gangs, as a synergizer in large world percussion music festivals and conferences, and to help build community in grass roots organizations throughout the world.

A master at motivating people, Arthur’s playful exuberance, colorful stories, and motivational metaphors will help you find the rhythm within yourself and teach you the skills to share it.

“This book is about how to take what you know and give it to others. The better you get at giving, the more powerful will be the gift. I have seen the gift of rhythm change many lives in many ways and always for the positive.”

— Arthur Hull
