Being fully in the moment is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and others. Cultivating presence leads to better health and improved relationships, as well as a neurophysiological state of integration and equanimity.
In our fast-paced world, however, presence can be compromised. Having diverse and evidence-based tools, then, is invaluable for becoming present. This workshop uses Shari Geller’s Therapeutic Rhythm and Mindfulness™ program, an innovative approach combining group drumming, mindfulness, and emotion-focused awareness to help us in cultivating presence.
Drumming and mindfulness together have been found to reduce stress, decrease burnout, increase vitality and immune functioning, and improve attention, focus, and present moment awareness. We also explore mindful photography to enhance our experience.
This workshop is for anyone interested in cultivating presence and having more engaging relationships, including health professionals and educators interested in learning about this approach to well-being. Those new to meditation and drumming, as well as those with experience who want to learn more about mindfulness and music, are invited.
