Drum Circle At The Old Bakery & Emporium

Performances will take place at Noon and 4 pm in the Old Bakery & Emporium Courtyard. At Austin Drum Beats, we believe in the power of rhythm to heal and transform. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space where people can express themselves, let go of stress, and heal emotional wounds through the collective energy of the drum. We are committed to fostering a community that values connections, inclusivity, and personal growth. Whether you're seeking emotional catharsis, creative flow, or simply a space to connect with others, Austin Dream Beats is here to support your journey. Our drum circles combine a unique blend of education, facilitation, collaboration, and community to introduce people to the form, and draw them in to participate. Education creates curiosity, facilitation gives people a safe container and permission to participate. Collaboration creates shared purpose and achievement, and through the experience community forms organically.
