This work has been used therapeutically in group and one on one sessions. Both Drum Body and Sound Body Wisdom facilitate personal growth from different strengths. The power of the drum has been successful with both youth and adults for accessing expression connected to both anger and grief. Witnessing and non-verbal communication exercises play significant roles with this as does the physicality of the movement. SBW has a subtler affect through its use of breath, voice and more gentle movements. Individuals discover new ways of listening and witnessing themselves through the pathways of their emotions. The potential for opening herein lays in the power of the work itself and a strong and supportive container. The nature of breath, voice and rhythm is one of balance, harmony and deep connection to one’s emotional center. The container of SBW allows for individuals to listen more deeply, express and integrate where the work leads them.
