IN PERSON

This course explores the literal and metaphorical value of rhythm in the context of human behavior. It will connect rhythm to individual physical and mental health and highlight the role of rhythm in supporting and sustaining social connection. Each session provides a brief background in the science behind rhythm (attunement, entrainment, and embodiment) and will spend more experiential time drumming to translate theory into practice. No musical experience or knowledge is required. Instruments will be provided and participants are invited to bring their own hand drums/percussion instruments.

Sean Douglas, LCSW has been tapping out rhythms for as long as he can remember and has been practicing as clinical social worker for 20+ years. As a therapist, he has brought drumming to individuals, couples and groups in a variety of clinical, professional and recreational settings.
