Event Description: Join percussionist Kevin “Bujo” Jones for an interactive virtual rhythm circle. Have fun while experiencing some of the powerful health benefits of making and enjoying music, which can include a positive effect on brain health. Enjoy the benefits of this immersive musical experience!

No experience is necessary - and drums aren’t, either. A tabletop or empty container will work just fine. You’ll have the chance to connect with other attendees and Bujo through a Q&A.
