We Dance to a New Rhythm: Drumming out Drugs
What a great way to celebrate the 85th day... I presented at the Substance and Alcohol Abuse Conference on Music Therapy and Substance Abuse. The presentation went really well. We had a lot of fun, and everyone was able to gain new insights into themselves and how powerful music therapy can be in a life. I believe that to truly understand music therapy, you need to personally experience it. So my presentation consisted mostly of experiential exercises. We drummed as a group, sang, wrote songs, and listened to music. I was going to spend time discussing the logistics of music therapy and how it benefits the mind, emotions, and can cause chemical changes to occur in the brain. Unfortunately we ran out of time, and I was not able to do this part. So hopefully they will read their handout on the info. I have already been invited back to next year's conference to present again, and they are giving me an additional hour to present.
