Participants will engage in a full day – 6 hour program that is designed to be safe, fun and provide information, skills and resources to manage stress, distress and increase your sense of choice and control about your reactions and actions.

The drumming program is not individual or group therapy – it is a space and program to support healing and provides regulation skills, new learnings and understanding about different ways to regulate and support yourself with guided drumming as the core method of exploration. Drumming in all its different forms is a powerful instrument for healing: physically, socially and emotionally.

The program is based on the following guidelines and values:

  • Safety
  • Collaboration and mutuality
  • Trustworthiness and transparency
  • Empowerment and choice
  • Cultural, historical, gender issues and respect for diversity and inclusivity and equality.

The group will be facilitated by
