ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Drum Circle Facilitators Guild (DCFG) Conference will feature a variety of workshops and presentations on a wide range of DCF topics. There will be an array of activities ranging from formal presentations, open sharing, jump time for facilitation practice, and of course plenty of time to simply drum together. Conference sessions are designed for participants who have a working knowledge and experience with basic DCF principles and techniques. Beginning DCFs are of course welcome, however introductory instruction will not be offered.
The DCFG Conference is organized by volunteer members of the DCF community and is sponsored by the Drum Circle Facilitators Guild (DCFG).

CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
We are currently looking for individuals that would like to share their expertise and experiences as DCFs to serve as session leaders and presenters.

Honoring Our Past, Building Our Future”.
Given our theme, we are looking for sessions that truly take the community beyond “Show us what you do”, that push the envelope of our learning, and that help us grow, develop, and build the future of drum circle facilitation.
