The Healing Drum with Dr. Shirley Rowland
30-Minute Guided Experience
In The Healing Drum, Shirley Rowland offers a grounding, meditative drumming experience rooted in tradition, neuroscience, and ancestral wisdom.
This 30-minute session uses steady drum rhythms to support balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, encouraging relaxation, focus, and nervous system regulation. Working with the Mother Drum and hand drums, Shirley guides participants into a state of rhythmic coherence where sound becomes medicine and meditation unfolds naturally.
The Healing Drum experience invites participants to listen, feel, and receive. Rather than performance, the focus is on balance, presence, and reconnection—allowing the body and mind to respond organically to rhythm. This offering is accessible to all and especially supportive for those seeking grounding, emotional regulation, or a moment of stillness through sound..
