First, participants will be introduced to herbs that local Virgin Islanders use to cleanse their bodies and auras. The majority, if not all of the herbs, will be picked from the yard where the drum circle will occur.

This part of the activity is optional, and consists of taking a small amount of the herbal mixture in the hand and sprinkling it about the body. After the introduction to the herbs and bush bath, participants will sit in a circle and choose from a variety of different percussive instruments.
