Biography
David is a Masters level, social worker that uses drum circle facilitation skills, knowledge, and values in his social work practice in North Carolina. David uses an experiential education model that allows participants with a range of experiences from no musical experience to advanced musical skills to come together and create music as a group. Rhythm events are used for community and team building, promoting health and emotional wellbeing, and for groups to express their spirit through the joy of communal music making. Facilitated rhythm events can be tailored for specific populations. David can augment clinical activities with psycho-educational activities and curriculums. David has facilitated rhythm events for at risk youths, recovery programs, multiple sclerosis support groups, cancer support groups for survivors and caregivers, corporate retreats, and grief groups. Additionally, events have been facilitated for community celebrations and block parties, birthday celebrations, and educational programs. While David’s primary drum circle facilitating endeavors are extensions of his social work, he is available for facilitated events.
