• Rhythm & Resilience

    A Drum Circle
  • Join us for an engaging and interactive drum circle led by Andrew Kowal, exploring the powerful connection between rhythm, the nervous system, and emotional well-being.

    Drawing from principles found in Somatic Experiencing® (SE), Rhythm System Strengthening (RSS), and current understandings of rhythm-based therapy, Andrew will guide participants through simple drumming experiences that demonstrate how rhythm can support regulation, connection, resilience, and stress relief.

    This is more than a music event. It is an opportunity to experience how steady, intentional rhythm can help restore balance, foster a sense of safety and belonging, and support the body's natural capacity for healing.

    The gathering will conclude with a relaxing singing bowl sound healing experience, offering time to integrate the effects of the drumming practice and settle into a deeper state of rest and reflection.

    No musical or drumming experience is necessary. Drums and percussion instruments will be provided, and participants are welcome to engage at their own comfort level.
