Facilitating Peace Making & Conflict Resolution with Drum Circles

What is next for the global drum circle movement?

How can drum circle facilitators, sound healers, and music therapists step into a larger societal role as facilitators of peace?

For the first time, Christine Stevens is offering a one day training based upon over 14 years of experience developing a protocol for facilitating cross-cultural drum circles for conflict resolution and peace making. As a Musical Ambassador of Peace, Christine has worked in the war zone of Iraq, with Iraqi refugees living in El Cajon, CA, Sudanese refugees, and Palestinian and Israeli youth. Her work has been featured in Playback Magazine, The Grateful Dead Foundation, and as a keynote speaker at the Yosemite Peace Conference, 2018, and The Rotary World Peace Conference 2020.
