Have Some Fun with Our Facilitated Group Activities
For more than 10 years, Derm has mindfully focused on creating a friendly, no-judgement zone for folks to explore the benefits of rhythm and playing drums. Change the way you feel, participate in one of our activities!
Programs & Events
We will help define a program that will achieve your goals. Whether your intention is having fun or you have a particular aim for the participants at your rhythmic event, we will help you succeed.
Rhythmic Events
A “rhythmic event” is a participatory experience in which everyone takes an active part in creating sound and rhythm. More than a drum circle, a rhythmic event can include body rhythm, voices and song, dance and movement, and many additional percussion instruments such as shakers, blocks, rattles, chimes and bells. Whole Life Rhythm provides a large array of instruments to enhance the moment.
Community Drum Circle
A facilitated drum circle can range from a few drummers to an event involving hundreds of people. We can lead your circle or teach you how to start your own. A drum circle is a great addition to conferences, business retreats, church music programs or any get-together!
Social or Church Events
With our help, the thunder of the drums at your church service will surely get the spirit moving. We can teach your folks rhythms to play for any session. If needed, we can lead the group during the service to ensure the desired outcome is achieved.
Corporate
Whether for team building, product rollout, or message delivery, we can provide an appropriate rhythmic program to help you. We have more than 30 years of experience working with large corporations in the industry.
Get Togethers
We can also come and deliver a talk on how rhythm and drumming help individuals. Together, we will go over health topics, such as the benefits of active meditation, de-stressing, relaxation, and enjoyment.
Well-Elderly
70 is the new 50 and we have rhythmic events that are a great way to keep participants fit and active. Our programs provide a fun and participatory environment that creates smiles and a surprising amount of exercise!
Schools
We can design a program for students that is age-specific and helps build musical skills using games, rhythm, and quiet. Your kid’s eyes will light up when they see all the instruments and get a chance to create music without boundaries.
Special Needs
From Autism to Alzheimer's, Stroke and Parkinson's, rhythm is a fantastic way to reach folks with neurological illness. We have worked with such groups to run concurrent programs. Both groups have different needs and require special care and attention.
Recovery
Through our program, we help people find success in learning how to play a hand drum to boost their self-esteem. We create a safe and open-minded environment that allows emotions a chance to release.
Retreats
We travel throughout the US and can customize a program for your retreat. From meditation to sound healing, we can build a program to fit your retreat needs.
Or visit us in Belize Botanic Garden for all-inclusive retreats we offer several times a year. More than just a rumble in the jungle, experience an immersion into Central American culture.
Conferences
Whole Life Rhythm can engage your conference attendees and make their experience memorable! Particularly effective for building community spirit. Need an afternoon wake-up or an evening relaxation program? Put us to the task!
Performances
Need some experienced drummers to put on a show and get your guest moving? Given enough lead time, we can get additional drummers and create a show for you.

Rumble in the Jungle
The jungle of Belize is the spectacular backdrop for our “Rumble in the Jungle”. Come join us for a weeklong retreat and experience what Belize has to offer. Your week will include the beauty, culture, and adventure of Belize, along with the camaraderie of friendly fellow drummers and the joy of music-making in an unspoiled natural setting. Whether you have a group or will be coming on your own, we have you covered. Let us design a team-building retreat for your group, or come join with other adventurers. A perfect event for the solo traveler too. Maximum 20 participants, so there is time and attention for everyone, no experience needed. This program also helps benefit our host, the Belize Botanic Garden, a stunning 45-acre riverfront garden with a small, eco-retreat center.
