Welcome!
Throughout the ages, various cultures have tapped into rhythm-based music making as a community event that allows individuals of all ages to come together in unity for celebration, sharing, and healing.
PROJECT HEARTBEAT offers a variety of creative programs and services that invite individuals of all ages to re-discover their own personal rhythms for authentic and healthy living. Rhythm, one of the most fundamental elements of music, is innate to all of us. We can witness the active presence of it in the rate of our respiration, our heartbeat, and even the rhythms of our brain activity. We also feel it and hear it in our external environment as we connect with nature and our busy modern world.
Now individuals in our community can experience a joyful sharing that promotes self-expression, creativity, social connection and stress reduction.
