We all know that drumming has been used for centuries in healing ceremonies to help people rejuvenate, recover and recapture their motivation, enthusiasm and self confidence. Well in recent times there has been a huge resurgence of interest and research in this field. Drum therapy is now a recognised field of Holistic healing and many people the world over are once again turning to the drum as a way of relaxation and as a path to personal development and Wellness.

Through drumming and rhythm based activities, people are learning to rebalance their lives, relax, slow down and have fun, while at the same time learning to be more creative and musical, improve self confidence, learn better communication and social skills, and to ignite their zest for life. “It’s all to do with the incredible power of rhythm,” says Eddie who holds a Diploma in Drum Therapy, and is the Rhythm Retreat.com facilitator. “ I believe we have only touched on the edges of what rhythm can do for us as a healing phenomenon, motivational and inspirational activity…. and our best way to utilise and experiment with rhythm is by drumming. After all that’s what drumming is, simply experimenting with.. having fun with… and exploring  rhythm on a physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual level”.

Here at Rhythm Retreats.com we believe that we all have rhythm, we are all born with rhythmical ability. It is inherit in us all at birth. Rhythm is a very powerful tool in balancing our lives emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially.

Through drumming in a group we can feel the power and energy of rhythm and vibration fill us with happiness, relaxation, inner confidence and strength…strength you never knew you had.

When you combine this sensation with a feeling of peace of mind, and surround it with an atmosphere of calm and nature,  you are on your way to discovering the healing properties of drumming.
