    The Drum Circle Facilitators Guild 20th Anniversary Conference is a weekend-long professional development event specifically for those using drums and percussion for recreational music making. The symposium-style gathering features presentations by industry leaders on a wide variety of topics including techniques for leading drum circles, business development, folkloric music, program design, and more.

    Our Theme for 2025 is Celebrating Our Journey, Envisioning our Future in Rhythm. As this is our 20th anniversary conference, our theme encompasses an historical celebration and commitment to wisdom in our next stages of growth. DCFG has 20 years of changing lives and for the next 20 years, how can we be better?  Knowing we cannot do this alone, and moving towards progress, we need everyone's help.  We may not have had it all gotten it right over all the years, but we are ready to move forward and be an organization of example.

    The 20th Anniversary Conference is for anyone and everyone who incorporates rhythm and/or drumming into their work; including settings such as:

    • Schools/Education
    • Non-profits
    • Well elderly/seniors
    • Health/wellness
    • Community events
