Wellness Collective at Compound: HEARTBEATS Circle of Drums

This is an opportunity to connect with the rhythm of our own embodiment, as well as the ancient and primal rhythms of the Universe.

Gather in community and experience the transformative and healing power of the drums. Connection with one’s self and others in community is the medicine of the drum. It is an invitation to toss aside our maps of the world, let go of expectations, and enjoy the power of presence as we drop our shoulders, breathe, and release the energies that will no longer serve us as we move into 2025.

Drums, shakers, and various handheld instruments will be provided.

What to Bring:
Comfortable clothing for movement
An open heart & curious anticipation

About David Hickman:
David is a Certified Music Medicine and Meditation Facilitator, spiritual guide, and seeker. He brings 30+ years of experience providing healing circles for various healthcare and wellness centers.
“My passion is sitting with other humans in a safe healing circle, connecting with our deeper or higher selves. I love to incorporate music, drumming, poetry, silence, movement, and stillness into a practice of presence. In honor of the Four Directions as soul medicine, I will guide us into a presentation of offerings of incense, sage, and cedar. As we sit together and share our human experience, may you experience a deep sense of belonging. Circles are a sacred space to plant seeds and manifest the life we desire. It is a safe place to trust the process: the practice of giving and receiving love.”
