- Let’s take three, deep, peaceful breaths together.
- Listen as I drum. When I stop, try to repeat the pattern just as you heard it. Sometimes it will be slow, sometimes fast. It might be loud, or soft, or a mixture of both.
- Let’s practice:
- Leader drums a pattern
- All repeat
- Listen carefully and be ready to repeat the drum pattern (practice several different patterns with participants repeating each one)
- End with soft, slow drumming and three mindful breaths.
- This week:
- Try to practice taking turns listening and talking, this helps us build healthy and peaceful relationships with our friends and family.
