Drum Circles by Keating Healing Rhythms

​

There’s something powerful that happens when people come together to drum. The steady beat brings everyone into the moment, encourages connection, and creates a shared experience that’s energizing, grounding, and fun.

​

Keating Healing Rhythms offers drum circles for all ages and settings — from private gatherings and community events to corporate wellness programs, retreats, and seniors’ groups. No musical background is needed; everyone can participate.

Our sessions are led by Ben Keating, a trained facilitator, professional percussionist, and sound healing practitioner who specializes in creating safe, inclusive, and engaging experiences.
