These familiar sounds are waiting for us to remember and liberate them… for inspiration, healing, and to help us uncover and embody our true essence.

Cultural traditions across the globe knew this. They used the drum’s beat to accompany and intensify rituals of storytelling, healing, and celebration.

These healing rhythms come naturally, and can calm you, ground you, invite you to explore further, and aid you in becoming more playful and spontaneous. They can also help you release and transform difficult emotions — shifting sadness to joyfulness, anger to empathy, and fear to love.

Today, the growing field of psychoneuroimmunology has documented the healing benefits of drumming… such as increasing cytokine activity and neural plasticity, reducing inflammation and anxiety, and boosting immunity.

The drum is also used as a sound-healing tool to help heal the symptoms of trauma and aid in releasing pain.

In this 7-step rhythmic journey with author, speaker, and music therapist Christine Stevens, you’ll befriend your drum as your ally in transformation.

You’ll discover healing beats from cultural and spiritual traditions around the world and learn the three keys to rhythmic healing that date back thousands of years…

And as you explore these healing rhythms through drumming, you’ll be empowered to compose your own healing beats — for transforming negative emotions, experiencing more joy, and embodying your truest Self… beats that will ultimately lead you to create your own rhythmic signature.

During this highly experiential sound-healing journey with Christine, you’ll:

Learn 7 healing sounds on the hand drum — and a rhythm pattern to weave the sounds together
Discover the archetypal meaning of a drum — from its design to its messages for you
Learn the healing rhythm of release to let go of barriers to embodying your true essence
Drum rhythmic affirmations to connect with the ancient lineage of healing rhythms

And much more…

Christine, who holds master’s degrees in social work and music therapy, has inspired people all over the world for over 25 years with her message of music for holistic health, spirituality, and wellness.

She’s facilitated drum circles for cancer and Alzheimer’s patients, corporate employees of Fortune 500 companies, women’s empowerment groups, disaster survivors, and even in war zones. She’s also a teacher’s teacher, training drum circle facilitators globally.

When Christine worked with survivors of the Columbine High School shooting, she invited students and parents to join together through drumming. The simple, repetitive rhythm evoked tears from emotions that no words could express, all the while keeping the beat.

We all hold rhythms that can shift our consciousness — the “music medicine” that comes from within and inspires transformation. The drum and voice are everyone’s biological instruments.

In Awaken Your Healing Rhythms, you have the opportunity to open to drumming as a daily healing practice, a fun and highly effective way of releasing negative emotions and boosting the health and wellbeing of your mind, body, and spirit…

… and an easy means for building community — you might even be inspired to start your own drumming circle.

You’ll also have the chance to pull out the drum you purchased and haven’t been using, or to gain more confidence — and enjoyment — in the drumming you already do for a healing practice, or to accompany sacred or shamanic rituals.

Upon registration, participants will also receive tips on how to make a drum — your own “found sound” — out of household items, as well as where you can find a low-cost drum.

Drumming is one of the most ancient instruments known to humankind, with global roots in the sacred connection to nature, the inner world, and the Divine.

Discovering the healing rhythms of ancient cultures through drumming can help you anchor your intentions and provide openings for your own personal rhythms to emerge, as you shift from the universal We consciousness to your own individual expression.

From exploring the stories of the earliest shamans — who journeyed through drumming into the Upper and Lower Worlds — to experiencing the healing effects of drumming on your mind, body, and spirit, as documented by modern science, Awaken Your Healing Rhythms will help you liberate the rhythms that resonate with your soul…

… sounds that can immerse you, and others, in rhythmic healing — for more joy and creative energy, greater wellbeing, and the aliveness that comes from being your truest Self.
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules

In this 7-part transformational program, Christine will guide you through the practices you’ll need to successfully experience whole-body healing through drumming, including stress reduction, chronic pain control, release of negative feelings, and improved immunity.

This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Christine. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to make your drum your ally in transformation.

Session 1: Befriending Your Drum
Discover 7 Healing Sounds

The drum, one of the most ancient instruments known to humankind, has global roots in the sacred connection to nature, the inner world, and the Divine. You’ll discover how to reconnect with this lineage, and shift your drumming from performance into transformance — remembering rhythm as a sacred healing tool.

Whether we find ourselves integrating higher frequencies and seeking the grounded energy of rhythm, or releasing past emotional energies to be fully present in the now, we’re reclaiming the drum as our partner in transformation.

Session 2: Ancient Tools of Rhythmic Healing

There are three keys to rhythmic healing that date back thousands of years. These elements appear in spiritual traditions as time-tested tools that reconnect us with ourselves, our community, nature, and the sacred creative energy in the Field.

These tools help us learn rhythms that can anchor our intentions and provide openings for our own personal rhythms to emerge, as we branch out and travel from the universal We consciousness to our own individual expressions.

Session 3: Healing Rhythms for Mind, Body & Spirit

Modern science has now documented the healing benefits of drumming in the growing field of psychoneuroimmunology. Benefits include boosted immune system function, increased cytokine activity and neural plasticity, and reduced inflammation, depression, burnout, anxiety, and stress.

From science to spirituality, the drum becomes a tool to access your personal joy as you learn healing rhythms and become empowered to compose your own. You’ll learn these for yourself, but also as a tool for working with clients, groups, and communities.

Session 4: Healing Journeys Through Guided-Imagery Drumming (September 24)

When we close our eyes and use creative visualization, science shows us that our nervous systems respond as if the images are real. We can literally flood our mind with our own virtual reality — and in this module, we’ll accompany this phenomenon with the rhythms of the drum.

From the story of the earliest shamans who journeyed through drumming into the Upper and Lower worlds to the modern science of using guided imagery to help heal health issues, you’ll learn how to accompany yourself or others through rhythmic healing.

You’ll:

Experience 2 guided-imagery journeys, filmed live in beautiful natural settings
Discover rhythmic tools for an inner journey into the heartbeat
Practice guided-imagery drumming to remember and reclaim the ancient drummer within you

Session 5: Shadow Drumming for Emotional Release (October 1)

As empathic, creative souls, we are often impacted by challenging energies in the world around us — and on our own personal path, we encounter pain, trauma, or grief.

In this module, you’ll explore how you express, release, and learn from these experiences, without holding the emotions they trigger in your body. From the ancient mythology of the hero’s journey to the modern science of brain research, you’ll use drumming to face, heal, and transform these emotional states.

You’ll:

Learn a practice of shadow drumming as a tool of emotional expression, healing trauma, and releasing pain
Discover the ancient myth of Inanna as a guide to healing rhythms that can bring you into the breath of life and the water of life through sound
Learn to modulate your emotions, using tempo and volume to find “middle spaces” between emotional patterns of flood or ignore

Session 6: Your Rhythmic DNA — Healing Rhythms From World Cultures

Drumming is well established as a tool for healing, spiritual awakening, connecting with nature, and community celebration. Around the world, “rhythmic cultures” radiate vibrant aliveness, preserved in a time of technology and addiction to electronics and screens.

We can tap into this ancient root of rhythm to celebrate, dance, mourn, and connect with our global community. You’ll learn specific world rhythms and expand your focus from Me to We. You’ll discover what ancient cultures knew are inherent in these potent rhythms — an easily accessible means for remembering and activating your rhythmic DNA and joining the Rhythmic Symphony of Transformation.

During this session, you’ll:

Learn 5 world rhythms: Aztec, Brazilian, Japanese, Afro-Cuban, and Middle Eastern beats
Be guided by an all-star drum ensemble, filmed live at The Shift Network media center, featuring guest percussionists Kim Atkinson, the founder of Pulse Wave and master drummer… and Patricia Hatfield, the founder of Harmony Drum Circles and facilitator of healing drum programs
Discover the medicine of ensemble rhythms and activate your global groove

Session 7: Your Rhythmic Essence — Discovering Your Unique Rhythmic Signature

In the sacred Indian language of Sanskrit, the term sva rasa means energy or essence. In the field of sound and rhythm, we enter the inner discovery of our essence, our rhythmic signature, that grounds and anchors our truth. It is a nameless name.

We are all unique beings, unique as each drum, each soul. Through a guided practice of deep listening, you’ll claim a beat that is your own unique centering beat, which can ignite your own true essence.

You’ll:

Be inspired by Christine’s story of rhythmic awakening and personal rhythmic discovery
Learn a practice to channel your unique signature rhythm using the 4 elements of rhythm — and listen to what it’s saying to you
Review your rhythmic signature, your daily practice, and your healing rhythms for your life — and perhaps for your work

Video With Christine Stevens and Team

An equinox is commonly regarded as the instant of time when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth’s equator passes through the center of the sun. This occurs twice each year: around March 20 and September 23. In other words, it is the moment at which the center of the visible sun is directly above the equator.

What Graduates of Christine’s Courses Are Saying…

“… my ‘inner soul’ was constantly nourished…”

This course was what I really needed at this time in my life and I benefited tremendously from all aspects of the training! I felt like my “inner soul” was constantly nourished by the drumming and music and it felt great! I highly recommend it to everyone!
— Mary-Ann, Las Vegas, Nevada

I felt called to my drum before the class, but I have a deeper connection to it and an expanded ability to heal with it for my everyday life. Thank you, Christine!
— Karen Salvador, Stillwater, Minnesota
“I came alive again.”

I had been suffering a little depression and was trying to move out of it when I saw the promos for this course. It was as if I came alive again. I am back feeling good. The class was spectacular — thank you so much!
— Annie, Sarasota, Florida
“… fun and accessible but with great insight and academic support.”

I had only played a drum a little in shamanic circles but really the same rhythm all the time. Now I find myself drumming to music I’m listening to, drumming in nature with the elements, healing physical pain and meditating with rhythm. I drum most days and it feels amazing! Christine made it so fun and accessible but with great insight and academic support.
— Laura Jane, Scotland
“ This course helped me connect with my drum and use it meaningfully.”

I came to the course a total novice with a new drum. This course helped me connect with my drum and use it meaningfully. Thanks!
— Dorothy Brown, Chicago, Illinois
“ I am brand new to drumming at 72 and the course definitely awakened my rhythm.”

I enjoy drumming to take a pause to reset several times a day. I have joined a women’s full moon drumming circle. I am brand new to drumming at 72 and the course definitely awakened my rhythm.
— Rose, British Columbia, Canada
“… learned to use my drum to ground and center, express my emotions, and connect to nature.”

This course showed me that I don’t need a music degree to be able to play the drum! Through this course, I’ve learned to use my drum to ground and center, express my emotions, and connect to nature. It also got me excited to see how I can use this in my celebrant practice!
— Carol, Chicago, Illinois
“… opens up the creativity and confidence to be able to drum without inhibitions.”

I would certainly recommend this course to others because it opens up the creativity and confidence to be able to drum without inhibitions. To know that each and every one of us has rhythm, and just to let go, is probably the biggest positive impact it had for me. It also gave me a way of improving and deepening a small drum circle that I host. Thank you to Christine Stevens for this gift.
— Diane Rozzi, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania
