Zevely Zone Resounding Joy Drum Workshop

Drumming has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and blood pressure by promoting relaxation and regulating the body’s natural rhythms. It also enhances social connection and cognitive function, making it a powerful tool for emotional expression and overall mental well-being. For veterans, drumming provides a nonverbal outlet to process trauma, ease heightened alertness, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and community.
