Wednesday, October 7, starting at 10:00 am. Located at the AgeWell Library - The AgeWell Center - 315 N 20th Street, Bismarck. We all experience loss, whether it's through the death of a loved one, loss of mobility, health concerns, or the passing of a pet. Having a safe place to talk about grief and learning ways to cope will help you on a long-term basis. Being with others who are having the same thoughts, feelings, and experiences is helpful to know that you are not alone. Kathleen Merker facilitates this group. Newcomers are encouraged to join; however, we request that you contact Kathleen at 226-9084 prior to attending your first session.
Date: Oct 7, 2026. Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm. Location: Virtual. Do you love music? Feel a longing to connect with the rhythm of life? Ready to inspire your soul? AARP is teaming up with celebrated music therapist Christine Stevens and her acclaimed UpBeat Drum Circles program for a series of free virtual drum circles this summer and fall. These lively, interactive sessions are perfect for anyone who wants to experience the proven power of rhythm—no musical experience or fancy equipment required. No Drum? No Problem! Welcome to "Found Sound"! One of the most creative and inclusive parts of Christine’s UpBeat Drum Circles is the concept of “found sound.” You truly don’t need a “real” drum. Christine encourages everyone to grab whatever is handy at home and turn it into an instrument: Plastic ice cream pails Pots, pans, and lids Plasticware or wooden spoons Empty containers, boxes, or even your own hands and voice This playful approach makes drumming accessible to absolutely everyone—whether you live in a small apartment or simply want to keep things simple and fun. It’s all about creativity, not perfection. The beat is what matters, and everyone’s contribution adds to the magic!
