The Beating Drum Project-April 23

Heather — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 23:37:13 +0000

“Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm.” Videos are shot inside this week. The weather outside was too wet and windy in NS for video equipment! The drumming meditation is a serenity journey in candlelight.

TIDAL BEAT DRUMMERS at IWK Kermesse

Heather — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:02:01 +0000

On May 29, 2012, the Tidal Beat Drummers were asked to take part in the IWK Kermesse. We said yes, and performed a 20-minute set on stage after only two practices. We had a lot of fun. Some of us were performing for the first time ever!

Lynn Fleming took lots of pictures. Here’s the link to have a look:

Who are the Tidal Beat Drummers? People who signed up for a 4-week series of workshops in the spring of 2010 to create rhythms which were a blend of spontaneous and orchestrated.

YOUTUBE VIDEO – Nursing Leadership Conference

Heather — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:56:18 +0000

On April 22, I was delighted to be a part of the 2010 Nursing Leadership Conference at the Harbourview Dartmouth Inn. With over 200 delegates, this was a major drum circle. I had lots of help in packing and unpacking the trailer, transporting instruments to and from the room, and setting up and tearing down the circle. The drum circle itself was fantastic…lots of people had loads of fun. The main presenter for the conference was Lea Brovedani, and she created a video of the event. There are some drum circle shots toward the end. Here’s the link, hope you enjoy it. A big thank you to Lea for this video.
