For years, Circles of Rhythm has been a space where drumming unites us, fostering connection and healing. My journey—from a Saskatchewan farm to facilitating vibrant drum circles—has always been guided by rhythm’s transformative power. Now, I’m excited to share a new extension of that mission: CastleWellness.ca, a platform dedicated to mental wellness and personal growth.
Castle Wellness builds on the heartbeat of our circles, offering a broader approach to resilience and self-discovery. It’s designed for individuals navigating life’s challenges—whether leaders facing burnout or those seeking clarity amid uncertainty.
Drawing on my Master of Social Work expertise, Indigenous wisdom, and evidence-based practices, I’ve created a space that honors the natural cycles of healing. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about sustainable change through compassion and understanding.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Grounded in your values, it’s about embracing life’s cycles—and living with purpose despite challenges.
- Somatic Awareness and Breathwork: By tuning into your body’s rhythms, we address stress and trauma held physically, using breath to restore balance and presence.
- Mindfulness-Based Techniques: Rooted in secular mindfulness, these tools quiet the mind, incorporating gongs, crystal bowls, exploring the Mindfulness Sound Lab.
- Parts Theory (Internal Family Systems): Inspired by Jungian shadow work, this modality explores your inner “parts”—ego’s highs and lows—empowering you to become your own human scientist.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A trauma-focused method that rapidly reduces distress from past wounds, using guided imagery and somatic calm to restore balance and resilience.
- Men’s Groups: Safe spaces for men to explore vulnerability, resilience, and connection through dialogue, rhythm, and shared reflection.
- Slavic Banya: A traditional steam bath experience paired with mindfulness and sound, promoting physical detox and mental renewal—an homage to cultural healing practices.
- Mindfulness BootCamp: An intensive workshop blending drumming, breathwork, and mindfulness exercises to reset your nervous system and build mental stamina.
- Self-Leadership Circles: Group sessions that integrate ACT and parts theory, guiding participants to lead themselves through life’s transitions with clarity and strength.
