PROGRAMS
Over the past 20 years, we’ve been honored to serve nearly 50,000 people, with half of those coming from the military community, through various programs, workshops, and retreats. We’ve allocated funds to 15 additional nonprofits that serve the military community and have explored 15 different methods of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies for healing trauma.
During the pandemic, Raven Drum has continued to serve thousands of Veterans and others at risk through funding special programs and working with a variety of partners. We responded to the pandemic by expanding our reach to answer calls for help, funding services on the ground, as well as through online workshops and connections, as agencies and organizations drew on our expertise in guiding people to practical mindfulness tools during a trying time for all.
HEALING DRUM CIRCLES
Drum circles are a place to heal. When we come into one, we enter a sacred place as a community without judgment and mistrust, with respect and compassion to heal one another and bring into focus the possibilities of who we truly are.
Raven Drum Foundation drum circles provide a shared experience supported by the resonance, movement, and rhythm of the drumming and an approach that encourages opening up to the energy generated. The focus on the drumming, combined with the connectedness that comes from playing in a group, opens up an opportunity for a release, processing, or transformation of emotions and residual trauma.
