It’s not just about drums! The Paralounge Drum Gathering presents the very diverse practices within the Drum Circle Community. Bring your Gongs, Singing Bowls, Chimes and any instrument that can be used for Sound Baths and Meditation.
The Paralounge Drum Gathering is proud to keep a balanced experience between the Wild Energy of the Drum Circle and the Meditational Calmness of the Sound Bath. We present educational standards, along with Community and Family Bonding. We label ourselves as a “Music Retreat”, not a Festival and we’re proud to allow families to spend time together in an outdoor, forest environment, among nature.
