GST25: The Drum

Welcome to your Drum Therapy learning journey!

In this module, you will explore the rich history of the drum, its profound effects on the mind and body, and how BAST has developed evidence-based techniques that harness the power of rhythm for therapeutic purposes.

You will learn how drumming can help to induce altered states of consciousness (ASC), facilitate emotional and physical release, and support clients in developing life-affirming strategies for growth and healing.

If you have not chosen to study the drum, please complete the Drum & ASC assignment ONLY.
