HealthRHYTHMS® Drumming is a fun, evidence-based whole person strategy which promotes socialization and ensures a healthy non-strenuous workout. On a deeper level it builds bridges while fostering nurturing, support, camaraderie, self-respect and respect for others. It is not really about drumming, but uses the drum and other rhythm instruments as tools for communication and personal expression.
This system can be integrated as a therapeutic strategy in group counseling sessions, support groups, rehabilitation centers, schools, hospitals, aging facilities and more. Activities can be modified so that anyone can participate! (I have a degree in special education and 23 years of special education experience…. modifying activities and creating postive experiences is what I love to do!)
The HealtRHYTHMS Protocol is the foundation of HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming Program, and consists of a series of 10 steps participants are guided through to facilitate communication and personal expression. Research has shown the results can include: increase in natural healthy cell activity, reduction in stress and burnout rates, improvement in mood states, enhanced creativity and bonding, and more.
There are FOUR ways the event can be structured…
FUN and GAMES, EDUCATIONAL, MEDITATIVE/ THERAPUTIC, RHYTHMS in NATURE
Every event has elements of all four, but you choose the focus. Better yet… schedule four events and offer your group a little bit of everything!
