WELLNESS THROUGH RHYTHM:

WELLNESS RHYTHM:

“To say that the effect of 170 engaged in drumming was awe-inspiring is an understatement. This was a very powerful session to experience and see strangers come together in unison. Our goal was to leave participants energized and feeling positive about themselves and that was certainly achieved.”

Lynn Slaney, RN BA   Director, Education     Personal Support Workers Conference,



                                                                                                                            Co- facilitated with Dr. Shari Geller

“The residents responded wonderfully to the drumming circle. Passive quiet residents suddenly became active and had passion back in their eyes. The staff members continue to talk about their circle as well. I would highly recommend drumming circles in Long Term Care Centres and I am extremely impressed with “Living Rhythm.”

Joanne Iacono         Program Manager/Staff Educator    Winbourne Park Long Term Care Centre
