Ep.12 Discovering the Transformational Power of Rhythm and Community with Drum Circle Facilitator Dave Holland

Spread the Good Stuff

This week is all about rhythm, energy and finding joy through purpose. Our guest Dave Holland is a highly charged world percussionist, teaching artist and drum circle facilitator. He encourages us to live in the moment, to be consciously connected to our rhythm and to be aware of how it interacts with others. Dave is energized by the work he does through teaching and facilitating drum circles, and encourages everyone to find their own inner rhythm. He is confident in the transformational power of rhythm and believes we all have something to contribute if we just show up. As founder of Beatin' Path Rhythm Events, Dave spreads the message of community, teamwork, diversity, and environmental awareness through drum circles and interactive performances. He regularly performs and facilitates drum circles at regional area schools, urban communities, health fairs, and festivals. Dave's world travels include Cuba, West Africa, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Australia, Japan, Russia and Turkey. As author of 3 books on rhythm facilitation in the classroom and community settings, Dave has presented at the National Drum Circle Facilitator Conference, the International Orff Schulwerk Conference, the International Percussive Arts Conference and numerous statewide music educator conferences across the U.S.
