Music is a gift. As a drummer, I feel the healing power of music through drum circles. Drum circles connect us through rhythm … transform us with music … celebrate our joy.
And that, to me, is a healing experience.
Music Heals Us is Katy Gaughan‘s organization to bring the healing experience of group drumming to the mid-atlantic community ~ schools, church groups, synagogues, health and wellness centers, senior citizen facilities, women’s groups, men’s groups, retreats, festivals, ritual celebrations.
Katy Gaughan is a hand percussionist and drum circle facilitator in the Washington, DC area. Katy loves bringing community together through music, especially drumming. Katy facilitates drum circles, team building events, drum experiences for retreats, and performs with the bands Djesben and John K Band.
