OCEAN DRUM- Community Music Therapy

OCEAN DRUM- Community Music Therapy Why Ocean Drum? Because our nervous systems need places to land. We do OCEAN DRUM circles at the beach- open to all- as a community service. Drums are provided.

Ocean Drum offers inclusive, grounding drum circle experiences rooted in community music therapy—designed to reduce stress, support healing, and bring people back into connection. We also work with corporate teams, yoga & wellness communities, and individuals navigating chronic pain, stress, or mental health challenges. Sessions are guided, non-performative, and beginner-friendly. Join us at the beach or invite Ocean Drum to your space. Breathe with the waves, feel rhythm in your body, and experience the joy of making music together—no pressure, no experience needed. Ocean Drum. Just show up.

Black History Month Spotlight: Elvin Jones!

As we honor Black History Month, we’re celebrating the legacy of Elvin Jones, a jazz master who showed the world that the drum is more than an instrument — it’s a voice!

Elvin’s playing was like a conversation: deep listening, call-and-response, layers of rhythm, shades & colors speaking to one another in real time. This way of playing lives on today in Ocean drum circles, where we don’t just keep time — we connect, communicate, and create together!

Take a moment to watch Elvin Jones in action and feel how the drums speak:

All ages and experience levels are welcome — no drumming background needed! Just Bring your curiosity, your heartbeat, and your listening ears! Let the drums talk. Let’s Celebrate together!

The ocean was ready.
The drums arrived.
Southern Chinese Lion Dance rhythms met the waves—unexpected, joyful, alive!

This past Tuesday, we had the honor of facilitating an Ocean Drum Circle with LWHS students during their MLK Jr. Teach-In.

Outdoors, in rhythm, students practiced listening, cooperation, and shared responsibility—living Dr. King’s vision of Beloved Community in real time.

Grateful to schools exploring justice, healing, and connection not just through discussion, but through experience.
