I provide various group therapy sessions, events, workshops, drumming sessions, and facilitated DRUMBEAT programs to encourage connection and sharing.
Some of the events and workshops I offer include:
Death Cafe – a group meetup that invites people together to talk about the inevitability of death, so that we can make way for life. See below for more information.
Dream groups – learn how to integrate the wisdom of your dreams into your waking life.
Story-doll making – bring inspiration, intention and purpose to life by joining with others on a creative journey to become who you already are.
Existential discussion groups – therapeutic conversations that constellate around various elements of what it means to be human. Themes discussed may include,life and death, meaning and meaninglessness, connection and isolation, freedom and responsibility.
Rhythm 4 Wellness – semi-structured rhythm drumming therapy sessions that focus on specific themes: communication, working together, self-care, emotional vitality, trust and more. Plus I hold community drumming events for creating connection, having fun and improving overall health through spontaneous in-the-moment music-making. See below for more information about community events.
DRUMBEAT programs – the world’s leading therapeutic drumming program, DRUMBEAT is an evidence-based program, developed in Perth, West Australia. DRUMBEAT is a 6 to 10 week therapy program incorporating hand drumming, behavioural therapeutic principles and cognitive elements.
Death Cafe
We do not know when we are going to die, and yet many, if not most of us go about our daily lives as though we and our loved ones will live forever, putting off until tomorrow. The Death Café invites people together to talk about the inevitability of death so that we can make way for life. You are invited to come and join us for an open-hearted conversation about the existential inevitability of death, with the intention of opening us up to life.

RHYTHM 4 WELLNESS EVENTS
Human beings are wired for connection. My Rhythm 4 Wellness drumming events invite people together to experience health and wellness through the art of making music together with others. Themes woven into the art of music-making include mindfulness, communication, connection, encouragement and support, acceptance, self-compassion, emotional expression, community, problem-solving, creative expression, celebrating diversity and difference, and non-judgement.
No musical experience is necessary to attend the drumming session. Contact me for more information.
