Drum Circles of North Central Georgia

A hidden gem in Smyrna, Georgia, hosted by Marisa Skolky, this is a space where all instruments, voices and experience levels are welcomed and experimenting with sound in a collaborative setting is encouraged. A collection of percussion instruments are always available to share and the circle's vibe has an eclectic music therapy feel that's like a hug for the soul. The circle happens indoors in Marisa's music room with a break for potluck refreshments towards the middle. People flow in throughout the first half and, after a while, we hit a pocket and music just keeps on flowing.During this session, we moved outdoors on the back deck for the second half, danced to some drums for a bit and then shifted to an acoustic guitar focused jam.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Beyond Limits Expressive Arts TherapySmyrna, GA 30080(Location provided after RSVP through Meetup)Last Sundays6:00pm - 10:00pm••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Marisa Skolky - Host@mskolkyBeyond Limits Expressive Arts Therapyhttps://www.marisaskolky.com/Healing Arts & Heartful Alignment Meetuphttps://www.meetup.com/haha-atl/••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Note from the podcast owner:As audio from circles is processed, no one handles source files except for the podcast owner.

I revisited some favorites of mine: maracas, belly dancing cymbals, and a frog guiro. I experimented with other instruments in the music room too: a pair of windsingers (also called "buzzing bows" or "om wands"), an ocean rattle drum, and a tongue drum. I also put together an impromptu percussion kit with dishes, mugs, jars, a food container and the countertop from Marisa's kitchen for a mini jam while we were socializing over refreshments.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Beyond Limits Expressive Arts TherapySmyrna, GA 30080(Location provided after RSVP through Meetup)Last Sundays6:00pm - 10:00pm••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Marisa Skolky - Host@mskolkyBeyond Limits Expressive Arts Therapyhttps://www.marisaskolky.com/Healing Arts & Heartful Alignment Meetuphttps://www.meetup.com/haha-atl/••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Note from the podcast owner:As audio from circles is processed, no one handles source files except for the podcast owner.

A hidden gem in Smyrna, Georgia, hosted by Marisa Skolky, this is a space where all instruments, voices and experience levels are welcomed and experimenting with sound in a collaborative setting is encouraged. A collection of percussion instruments are always available to share and the circle's vibe has an eclectic music therapy feel that's like a hug for the soul. The circle happens indoors in Marisa's music room with a break for potluck refreshments towards the middle. People flow in throughout the first half and, after a while, we hit a pocket and music just keeps on flowing.During this session, we were joined with an electric guitar that added psychedelic vibes and ambience to the second half of the music jam.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Beyond Limits Expressive Arts TherapySmyrna, GA 30080(Location provided after RSVP through Meetup)Last Sundays6:00pm - 10:00pm••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Marisa Skolky - Host@mskolkyBeyond Limits Expressive Arts Therapyhttps://www.marisaskolky.com/Healing Arts & Heartful Alignment Meetuphttps://www.meetup.com/haha-atl/••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­Note from the podcast owner:As audio from circles is processed, no one handles source files except for the podcast owner.
