Join us for an intensive 3 days. We will explore the roots of rhythm healing. Experiential. Immersive. Kinesthetic.

Jumping from Shamanism, Shango, and trance drumming, Jeff Strong will bring you into the deep seat of rhythm healing.

This course is appropriate for all levels of players, even those who have never played a drum before (or even own one yet).

Enhance Your Therapy Practice with Our Healing Arts Entrepreneur Program

Chances are, when you trained in your therapy, you didn't give much thought to the time, energy, and money it would take to turn your therapy into a business.

That’s okay. You’re not alone.

Then, once you did figure out that your therapy practice is a business, you discovered that business work left your soul in ruins. The work of business was the opposite of the healing work you trained to do.

You were spending more time and energy on soul-depleting business minutia than the soul-giving work of working with your clients.

Again, you’re not alone.

This is the reality for most healing arts professionals.

In fact, most therapy professionals don't learn any business-related skills while in school. And those that do, often are taught antiquated, ineffective ways to build, run, or scale their business.

As healing arts professionals, Jeff and Beth have walked this path and confronted the often brutal reality of running a business. And we have a solution for you: The Healing Arts Entrepreneur is a soul-enriching, spirit-defining, business-savvy course.
