Healing sound can release energy blockages throughout the mind, body, and spirit.”
Sound Bath Therapy
What particpants are saying about their experiences:
“Terence has a strong calming voice tone and the sound treatment was one of my best! I appreciated his prayer offering and focus on my wants/needs. I’m very particular and have followed other holistic healers. Thanks so much to Doc T”!
“OMG! I mean…I couldn’t believe it! Doc Elliott and the I Am HiM staff made me feel amazing! My sister and I were in town for the week and decided to get a sound healing treatment. I wanted to try something different than I had ever done. We connected with #docelliott57 on Instagram and were happy we did”!
“I have to admit, I’m a picky person and very particular how I spend my time. I saw #docelliott57 advertised on social media during my visit to the Bay Area and wanted to experience something unique, couldn’t be happier. I Am HiM team met us at where we were staying and the experience was amazing! Thanks for the new healing experience, which I have been wanting to do since I last visited the SF Bay Area. I’ve recommended Doc T Elliott to all my friends! Loved it”!
Drum Circles
A drum circle is 1.5 -2-hour long activity based on a trauma-informed curriculum rooted in West African tradition, community ritual and cultural practice (Elliott, 2019). Facilitated by the co-leaders, members are handed a djembe drum, gather in a circle, and engage in the participatory community practice of drum playing and rhythm making, to foster improved levels of personal and social confidence and develop social skills. The Drum Circle is a trauma reduction and prevention modality that promotes healing and resilience, cultivates individual and social well-being, and develops leadership through the transformative power of drumming.
Jamylle Carter, Ph.D. (Professor of Mathematics). “Nice to have the drums provided. Nice to be able to bring my dog. I felt powerful and connected to others and to the ancestors. One of the mantras was, “We’re here,” just as soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said in her confirmation speech on the White House South Lawn on Friday, April 8, 2022.”
Michael Cortez (Morehouse college student participant) recalls the drummer’s non-verbal activity “a collectivistic aspect of community and brotherhood…it motivates and helps to produce calming effects and bonds within yourself and the group.”
“…when we would play those djembe drums the vibration became higher. Just as being with each other, the safe space got cultivated through acceptance of who you are. It’s just wherever we went with the drumming, the space became sacred. The attention became turned on us and our healing. Again, we are the sacred space because the sacred space lives in our hearts, and it’s illuminated through our minds, actions, and voices.”
Joeretha Mayo (Admissions & Records Assistant II). “I had fun and would be going back and buying a drum. Thanks, for inviting us! Blessings.”
Malik Bell (fireman) The drum circles felt like a safe space being able to sit as Black men and talk about our frustrations, our feelings, our worries, our thoughts, our ambitions, and our everything. Being able to sit down and have drum circles tap into our West African origins. It helped with my healing and my overall schooling experience and my academic journey.”
