Set free your inner rhythm, connect with your community, and let the beat move you!
Welcome to the Salmo Community Drumming Experience as part of Rhythm by Nature's Community Drumming Tour!
Supported by the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, Rhythm by Nature brings you a fully interactive and immersive drumming event, for the whole community, at For-rest Retreat.
No drumming experience is needed and all the instruments are provided.
Professionally facilitated, participants will learn about and experiment with different drums and drumming techniques from all around the world. You'll experience a fun and inclusive drumming workshop, but that's only the beginning!
Here are a number of reasons why this event is for you:
- Group drumming is an effective way to reduce stress and negative emotions
- You're pulled into the present moment which induces deep relaxation
- It provides a sense of empowerment and self-confidence
- It is a powerful and positive way to connect with your local community
- It can reduce chronic pain & boost the immune system
- Your body and mind align with the natural world and your inner nature
- You're offered a non-verbal communicative tool to express and connect
- It provides a foundation for personal transformation and growth
- Oh, and it's a whole lot of fun!
Discounts are offered when you buy three or more tickets!
Instruments are provided but feel free to bring your own.
A little about Rhythm By Nature and your facilitator, Patrick Carrick:
Patrick is a certified 'Circles of Rhythm' master facilitator, endorsed REMO Rhythm Wellness & You provider, professional percussionist, and music educator. Patrick has a passion for bringing people together through the power of rhythm and has worked within a wide variety of musical genres and ensembles.
Patrick founded Rhythm by Nature in 2016 and it has since become a popular mainstay in BC's Kootenay region, offering a variety of programs and events that promote community connection, wellness, social development, and creativity.
Patrick’s affection for music and drumming has taken him all around the world, finally growing roots in the Columbia Valley. After completing three levels of facilitation training with the nationally acclaimed ‘Circles Of Rhythm’ & internationally recognized Rhythm2Recovery, Patrick has been hosting community drumming events throughout the Columbia Basin. Rhythm by Nature has earned a reputation for its positive community impact and inclusive approach to group drumming.
Thanks to the support of the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, Rhythm By Nature is touring the entire Columbia Basin during the spring of 2025 with the intention of demonstrating the many benefits that come from the Integrative Community Drum Circle.
An Important Distinction:
Rhythm By Nature follows the ‘Integrative Community Drum Circle (ICDC)’ methodology. This means that our drumming is not based on any ethnospecific traditions, cultures, or rhythms. The ICDC employs a multicultural approach so that the experience is accessible to everyone. It’s about celebrating our diversity, creativity, and playfulness. Our drums are from all around the world but do not hold any limiting cultural or ceremonial significance. Our instruments are of premium quality and are made from 100% recycled wood fibre.
Families are most welcome. We find that very young children have trouble holding attention for the whole session, so we kindly ask that children of all ages be responsibly supervised for the enjoyment of all.: ) If you're interested in a session designed specifically for young people, we offer programs for schools and youth events of all kinds!
We would like to thank For-rest Retreat, for hosting and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance for their support.
