I'd like to tell you about my new program..

If you've been to one of my workshops over the past few years you may have noticed that in addition to teaching about drumming and music, that I am *very* passionate about ways we can better ourselves.  What's interesting to me is that I've found the more energy I give sharing these ideas with others, the more I am inspired to take action to better myself. 

In the last year, the energy around this passion has become so pronounced, that I've made a decision to combine forces with my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Harry Pepper to create a remarkably effective, practical and powerful program-- one that focuses on giving you the tools and ideas to you can use to evolve, heal and align with your life's true purpose.
Peace, Jim

More Details:
The Rhythm of Life Design Intensive
Reflect. Learn. Release. Make A Plan. Transform

During The Rhythm of Life Design, you will be guided through a series of techniques intended to assist you in the creation of an effective personal action that is aligned with your life's true purpose. During your experience you will have the opportunity to use tools such as rhythm and drumming, writing, guided imagery, emotional release and honest reflection.

Our intention for the program is to help you to uncover patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back from what you truly want in life, while also sharing powerful and tested ideas about ways you can transform the things that drain away your vitality.

In The Rhythm of Life Design you will have an opportunity to:
    •    Look deeply and honestly at your life and the choices you've made so far.
    •    Reflect upon and challenge what you believe to be true about yourself.
    •    Perform your own preparatory exercises such as rhythmic breathing, visualizations and running energy.
    •    Learn specific reality creation philosophies and techniques.
    •    Create a personal mission.
    •    Learn how to completely transform habits and patterns that drain away your vitality.
    •    Learn how, and have an opportunity to effectively and safely release unexpressed emotional energy.
    •    Create a detailed plan of action to continue your life design work immediately after the workshop.

Are you ready to create lasting positive change in your life and to align with your life's true purpose? Let's do it.

Summer summer summer...

What an incredible summer it has been so far... Italy, France, Great Blue Heron, All Good, Drum and Splash, plus the workshops in Medina, Oh and State College. PA. Whew..
I've really enjoyed meeting, drumming and having conversations with all of you.

I just put together a new Podcast page on my site. The new uploads include interviews about Santana as well as a piece called the Ella story. I hope you like them!
 
This weekend I'll be in OH , then Western NY next weekend and after that comes the epic week of the 2010 Summer Rhythm Renewal. For those of you who couldn't get in to the Renewal, check out our new sister festival The 2010 Great Rhythm Revival on Labor Day weekend...

If you've been looking to get out and do something meaningful this summer, there are several opportunities still available. Remember to register early to save some cash and to be assured of getting in. 
See you there,
Jim
