Mission Statement
Rhythm of Life Society exists to ease isolation and loneliness in our communities through interactive drum circle events that engage people of all ages and abilities.
Description
Rhythm of Life Society is a registered charity organization based in British Columbia, Canada. Our vision is a world in which the transformative power of music and movement elevates the well-being of all people.
Our initial pilot project, named the Drum Run Adventure Tour, was a running and drumming tour throughout B.C. held in partnership with the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. Drum Run launched on September 10th, 2023. The 'Drum' part of Drum Run took place in Community Drum Circles held in over 20 cities along the tour route throughout B.C. The 'Run' part of Drum Run involved our founder, Lyle Povah, running over 1,500 km of the tour route.
The completion of the tour mid November 2023 signaled the move into our second phase, which builds community health locally, providing drum circles and community events for all to participate within the Metro Vancouver area.
