I am absolutely over the moon about this workshop for drum circle facilitators, music educators, special educators, mental health practitioners and pretty much anyone who has an inclination to use music with individuals or groups. I had heard about Simon Faulkner and his ‘Rhythm 2 Recovery’ program during my masters and first had the opportunity to meet him at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia when I presented at the Drum Circle Facilitators’ Guild Conference in 2017. If you have been looking for a drum circle facilitator course to study and learn how to become a drum circle facilitator, this 2 day intensive workshop is a great way to start. And for this reason, I am calling upon all therapists, educators, drum circle facilitators, counsellors and anyone who would like to use music to support social and emotional health…!

For the very first time in India, Taal Inc. is proud to bring to you, a very special two-day evidence based training for therapists, educators, drum circle facilitators and other professionals on the use of music with groups for pinpointed therapeutic outcomes: Rhythm To Recovery India Workshop 2025!  This is an opportunity of a lifetime to learn from Simon Faulkner from Australia.

What’s more? 

  • The workshop is fun, engaging, practical and empowering.
  • No previous music skills are required
  • It is a certified training program
  • It is evidence-based with a client-centred focus

This two-day course provides attendees with practical tools and skills to introduce music into their practice in order to address the social and emotional challenges faced by their clients or students. Full of fun, engaging and empowering rhythmic games and reflective discussions for use in individual, family and group settings, this course is endorsed by the International centre for clinical excellence (ICCE).

The R2R model is used by counsellors and educators around the world working in diverse fields including trauma, mental health, behavioral education, custodial facilities, child protection and even refugee integration.

The workshop will give the attendee access to over 200 practical rhythm games and exercises plus exclusive training videos. Suitable for both counseling and

educational settings and can be adapted for individual, family and larger group work.

This will truly prove to be an opportunity of a lifetime for those of you looking for a train-the-trainer course. IT could also be a good first step to the more intensive week-long ‘Find Your Inner Rhythm Course’ that I run once a year for aspiring candidates who want to learn drum circle facilitation.

Looking forward to welcoming candidates from all over the country and have a memorable experience together. 

Come. Drum. Be One.
