Opening Ceremony + Drumming Sounds Drum Circle Facilitation Training
We begin with an opening ceremony to set the tone for the weekend and create a strong foundation of connection, intention, and sacred space. From there, Andrew and Monica will introduce the Drumming Sounds evidence-based group drumming intervention, a protocol that has been shared in a wide range of settings including corporate wellness programs, healthcare environments, treatment centers, and community spaces.

Frame Drum Building Workshop + Sacred Space Facilitation
Saturday is a powerful day of creation, ceremony, and skill building. Participants will build their own frame drum while also learning principles that go beyond drum circle facilitation and into the broader art of leading sacred circles, transformational gatherings, and wellness-based experiences.
Saturday Evening
Sound Medicine Journey + Nervous System Reset
Saturday night we gather for a deeply restorative and transformational sound experience. Andrew and Monica will guide participants through a beautiful sound journey using gongs, chimes, Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes, chanting, and sacred sound vibration. This experience is designed to support relaxation, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deep inner connection.

EMOTE, Sound Medicine, Movement, and Integration
Sunday we continue the journey by giving participants more tools for facilitation and personal transformation. One of the featured practices will be EMOTE — Energy Moving Out Through Expression. Participants will have the opportunity to use the frame drum they built on Saturday as a powerful tool for expression, release, and transformation.
