NNED Partner of the MonthPosted: September 08, 2009
In order to highlight pockets of excellence across the country the NNED selects an organization to highlight once a month. In honor of Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July the NNED has selected Healthy Drumming as the Partner of the Month. Healthy Drumming® is a holistic approach designed to decrease stress and anxiety by activating and bridging physiological, psychological, and spiritual schemas. The procedure is based on sound traditional healing techniques, scientific applications, and psychological strategies. The journey within is intended to induce an awakened and reflective state of consciousness and assist individuals to learn more about themselves in a joyful manner. A Healthy Drumming® workshop includes playing basic rhythmical patterns on a drum, vocalizations, breathing exercises, meditation, and verbal and non-verbal communication. Healthy Drumming circles are led by Dr. Sal Nunez, who will be presenting on this innovative program during the NNED's Network in Action Forum Call on July 7th at 3pm ET highlighting the ways that communities across the country are celebrating Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Month. |
