Djembe Drumming Circles for Men's Health Week

Men’s Health Week is fast approaching and men of all ages are encouraged to celebrate by participating in activities in their local area. 

Bendigo and Castlemaine Libraries will each host a Djembe Drumming Circle to promote positive health for men. Each session is exclusively for men only and has limited numbers.

New research shows that drumming provides many health benefits, including stress reduction, mindfulness, self-expression and creativity, and most importantly, fun and laughter!

Djembe drums are played with bare hands and have been used in Africa for centuries at peaceful gatherings. Traditionally, the Djembe drum is only played by men. 

Across the world, men are statistically more susceptible to poorer health than women, and Men's Health Week aims to raise awareness of this. For more information on Men’s Health Week visit: www.menshealthweek.org.au

Castlemaine’s Djembe Drumming Circle will be held on Thursday 15 June from 5:30-6.30pm.
