Like Diane, I attended the Valencia training in February. I just facilitated my first session and it was an amazing experience. It went great overall but not without its challenges either. I did it at the Remo RMC and it was open to the general community with a theme of stress release and wellness. I got perhaps too good of a turnout as 30 people showed up from teens to seniors. As a result it was a bit cramped and loud for the small room that we were in (I was anticipating no more than 15 people), but we made it work. Also, people kept coming in during the first 15-20 mins which was disruptive, and with only 60 mins time those lost minutes were precious (I think next time I will do 90 mins) and ate into our drumming time. However, we still had very good rhythmic entrainment and some really nice inspirational beats though I wish I had time to let more people do it. In any case, for the first time out I felt really good about it and most people gave the session very high marks...woohoo! Great protocol, and thanks to Dr Bittman, Christine, and Remo for sharing it with us.
