What Are Trainees Saying?
"I got so much more out of this program than just learning to lead a drum circle. The program held so many insights into the dynamics of facilitating people and empowering me and others towards true connectedness. I highly recommend this program to anyone who works with people of any age or just wants to improve their circle/life skills."
-Teresa Benedetti, Canton, OH
"Since our training several weeks ago, I have had the opportunity to teach both children and adults on separate occasions. The most significant change I've noticed in myself is added confidence which in turn allows me to truly enjoy what I'm doing. I am more animated, I smile more and I'm really having fun. I can see a change on the faces of the students. They see my enthusiasm and it spreads to everyone involved. The training was exactly what I needed to advance to a higher level. Thank you to Jim and everyone that was a part of it. "
- Rich S. Western New York

"Drum Circle Leadership was the most useful and enjoyable training I have ever attended. I immediately put the techniques, knowledge, and inspiration into action in my clinical work. Jim Donovan is an exceptional communicator, facilitator, and teacher- but most importantly an infectious and generous person. Jim presents the content in a relatable and practical way for both experienced and first time musicians and facilitators."
-Jordan Goodman, MS, LGPC
"I just wanted to send you a quick note to say THANK YOU for everything you gave me at the training. Today I had my first circle since attending the training, and the difference was like night and day."
-Diana Hiatt, Louisville, KY
"This weekend was another fabulous training! Round 2 allowed me to process and absorb much more of the training--I look forward to integrating the principles into my classes this semester and turning them around for a win. I'm also dedicated to creating a drum circle in Selinsgrove."
-Drew Hubbell Ph.D
Professor Susquehanna University
"Yesterday I landed a gig at an assisted living center here in Indianapolis, and as I was driving home, I just kept thinking how grateful and thankful I am for the DCL trainings I took from Jim Donovan, not just once but twice. The community drum circle I facilitate, once a month is now over 1 1/2 years old and going strong with 69 members in my Meetup.com group. It all started with you Jim, and the DCL".
