Entertatainment and Events
Music has a unique way of bringing people together. Throughout the Recovery Dharma Global Summit, you’ll have opportunities to relax, connect, and celebrate with fellow attendees through live music and shared rhythm.

Saturday Night
Saturday Community Drum Circle
Connect. Heal. Express Yourself.
Join us Saturday evening for a facilitated community drum circle led by Ashley Spain, MT-BC. Whether you’re an experienced drummer or have never picked up an instrument before, everyone is welcome to participate.
Bring your drum of choice—or simply come as you are. Instruments will be provided if you don’t have one.
This is an opportunity to connect with others through rhythm, creativity, and community in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Gather around 7:15 PM
Location: Outside on the lawn at Second Ward Gym (weather permitting). In the event of inclement weather, the drum circle will move inside the gym.
Meet the Facilitator
Ashley Spain, MT-BC is a board-certified music therapist, accredited Drum Circle Facilitators Guild facilitator, certified Village Music Circles Global trainer, and founder of Dynamic Rhythms, LLC.
Ashley has facilitated drum circles throughout the Charlotte area for many years and volunteers with drumSTRONG, helping raise funds for cancer survivorship and research through community drumming events.

Every drum circle Ashley leads is guided by one question:
“What can I do to serve the circle?”
By listening deeply to the rhythms, responding to the group’s energy, and nurturing connection through music, Ashley creates an experience where participants discover joy, creativity, and a shared sense of belonging. Music and rhythm have always been a part of Ashley’s life, and she is excited to share the joy and empowerment they can bring with all of you.
