I just ran a session for the day program at Deakin Private. Feeling reflective, privileged and grateful to have brought the healing power of group drumming to the patients there. Here is some of their feedback:

"Of all the mindfulness activities I have done while at Deakin Private, mindfulness drumming has been the best. I felt an instant and deep relaxation when Kath started drumming at 60-80 bpm. Thank you" - Lisa

"Please bring this in as a mindfulness activity weekly. Helps PTSD, helped my mood change from dark to lighter" - Karan

"It would be wonderful if this could be part of the regular program. The drumming and mindful activities really helped my anxiety" - Liz
