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.

Ms. Vivian draws on her expertise as a clinical music therapist, wellness consultant, and professional drum circle facilitator.

“Participating in One Heartbeat Rhythm Circles™ is a positive personal experience. To feel the vibration of the instruments, created by a group of rhythm makers, affirms for me the potential of unity, cooperation, and harmony among a diversity of people. While in the circle I know that the possibility of peace is real.” Rev. Norene Berry,Ordained Minister of Divine Science and Christian Metaphysics, Divine Life Center , Albuquerque, NM

“ ...Innovative, fun and enlightening. Giselle has wonderful energy and enthusiasm …It's surprising how much exercise one can get making music! ...The benefits last long after the session ends ...” June Curtice, Albuquerque, NM

“I have attended Giselle’s “Druming In The Park” and found her to be very skillful in facilitating the circle so that the group’s rhythm and beat remained constant and focused... An assortment of rhythm and percussion instruments for participants to use and experiment with are available at each session. I thoroughy enjoyed this valuable experience and left with a very positive feeling.” Marie Martinez, Teacher, Albuquerque, NM
