The Rhythm of Discovery Training Program is designed for licensed therapists and social workers. The training teaches techniques that will enable the therapist to fully utilize this form of therapy as well providing exercises and an experiential drum journey. This changes therapy from an observational profession to an experiential profession creating what we refer to as ‘therapeutic intimacy’.
