The Healing Drum Circle is a group activity that uses the power of Rhythm to bring soft skill training with healing to every participant in a circle. It works on the scientifically proved Law of Resonance and uses the power of music and sound vibration. It does not require one to be a musician to participate in such an event. This is highly interactive and brings in active involvement from every participant.
Every drum circle is specifically tailor-made to suit the requirements of the group.
The intent of such a Drum Circle is to bring back the wisdom and healing ways of the Ancients. In many tribal cultures even today, the community gathers to play drums and sing, dance and chant. It is believed that the united rhythm created through group participation re-connects us back to the inherent rhythm of the Universe. We are and always have been part of the Divine Consciousness that is constantly reaching us through light and sound vibration.
Participation in a single Healing Drum Circle is believed to be as powerful as 9 healing/therapy sessions. And that is great news for all of us dealing with a high stress level of day to day existence. When we consciously participate in any normal bodily function like speech, sight, hearing, we are using different parts of the brain for particular actions. However, when we participate in a group drumming session, the sound waves reach and activate the entire brain. And this trigger various levels of healing at a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Some of the benefits of a Healing Drum circle are as follows:
Reduction of stress level
Deep feeling of bonding and peace
Increased immunity
Release of feel good hormones like endorphins that has multiple benefits of its own
Pain relief (even for those suffering from intense conditions like arthritis)
Enhanced focus, stability, creativity and concentration
Drum circles are a joyful and highly effective way for participants of all age group (children and adults) to fully experience the tremendous healing power of community bonding, belonging and powerful sound vibrations.
Giving up a well – established career spanning over two decades, is not a choice for the faint-hearted. Yet this is how the dynamic entrepreneur, Som, has chosen to rewrite the script of his life. Having tasted name, fame and success at a very early age, Som made a mark for himself in the competitive Media industry. Starting out with the prestigious NDTV, he climbed up the ladder, moving from one established brand to the other. He worked with well-established players in the market, such as Zee Network, CNBC, Travel Trendz, ETV (Ghana), to name a few.
Som was part of the core team responsible in bringing the concept of 20/20 cricket to India through the formation of ICL (Indian Cricket League), becoming a trendsetter in the Sports genre of programming. He soon rose to the position of the top management, gaining expertise in not just programming but managing and setting up television channels in India and abroad. The driving force behind his journey being his ability to innovate, ideate, think out of the box and create brands from scratch while handling the nitty gritties of top managerial responsibility with ease.
However, since childhood, he had a core aspect of his personality that he had kept alive throughout all aspects of his life and work. The desire to be of service to the community, was an integral part of his inherent nature. Also, dormant for years yet powerfully potent was his deep love for music. He had been known as a child prodigy, who could play multiple musical instruments without having had any formal training in any. Like the Piano Master V. Balsara had once remarked with reference to a young Som, “This child cannot be taught, he already has music flowing through him. He will create his own magic.”
The challenge now lay in bringing all key ingredients of his work and passion together under one umbrella, and a service in the Media and Advertising industry was no longer allowing a scope for growth towards this dream. It is then that the man with the creative mind, musical soul and a heart of gold, birthed his service offering for the world: The Wisdom Tree – one stop creative agency for building brands through strategy, ideation and implementation. And a key branch of this Tree was “The Healing Drum Circle”.
The Healing Drum Circle is a one-of-its-kind group activity that uses the power of drumming and rhythm to bring about desired transformation and healing to every participant in such a circle. Som brings his corporate experience of over two decades and his love and understanding of music to create effective soft skills training sessions for corporates through the powerful tool of sound healing with drumming. The impact of participation in such a circle facilitated by Som must be experienced to be believed.
The Wisdom Tree and The Healing Drum Circle have only just begun offering their service in the market for 3 years and yet the success stories coming in are already a tale of encouragement for all who wish to follow their hearts and take a plunge to fulfil their dreams by making a career out of it. Som journey is one to be watched out for, as its inspiring to say the least. Watch out for this man, as soon the world is set to rock to the beat of his drums, as they celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the Wisdom tree that he has so lovingly planted and is nourishing each day.
