Core Shamanism Drum Circles

Shamanic drum circles and community groups practicing core shamanism are listed on this page at the request of the group leader. Groups listed here are assumed to be accepting new members, and many groups now meet online. Please feel free to contact the group leader using the provided contact information and inquire. Note that this listing is provided as a community service. The groups listed here are independent, and are not reviewed or endorsed by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

The Way of the Shaman® (in person) or The Shamanic Journey (online) is highly recommended as preparation for participation in a drum circle. For additional useful information about drum circles, read the article from Shamanism: "Effective Core Shamanic Drumming Circles."
