DERBY - The Community Health Resource Center at Griffin Hospital will host a free presentation on the mind, body, and spiritual benefits of group drumming at noon May 3.

Mark Zarrillo, a local drum circle leader and sound healing practitioner, will host “Community Drumming for Health & Happiness,” an interactive demonstration of group drumming and presentation of its evidence-based health benefits. 

Participants take part in a hands-on drumming exercise that teaches about finding and locking into a rhythmic pulse, creating a dialogue with the instruments, and creating smiles.

This program is part of a series of free, educational forums hosted by the Community Health Resource Center in an effort to help improve the health of the community.

To register or for more information, call Kerry or Deborah at 203-732-7399.
