Author Description

<p>Judy Atkinson offers a guide to personal and spiritual development by introducing us to the concept of the Integrative Drum Circle, IDC, a powerful new healing tool that can lead to inner harmony and peace. Judy condenses these messages into five Drum Codes, and delivers them through stories that will touch your heart and enrich your life.</p> <p>When she went through a difficult divorce more than twenty years ago, Atkinson was drawn to the drum for her own healing, in spite of the fact that she had no musical experience or background in percussion. Instead, her call to the drum circle was divinely inspired, and she is grateful every day for the amazing opportunities it has created in her life. She has spent her career helping others find and heal themselves, through participation in healthy community, connection to each other and something bigger than us all.</p> <p><i>The Drum Code: Living Well Between the Beats</i> introduces two important concepts that Atkinson teaches. The first is the five Drum Codes, important life lessons Atkinson learned from her own experiences. For each code, she explains the story behind the lesson, the ways it can lead to happiness and inner peace, and asks good questions to help you reflect on your life.</p> <p>Atkinson's second main theme is the Integrative Drum Circle, which she developed as a way to help heal individuals, develop healthy communities and provide a meaningful and fun social outlet.</p> <p>Atkinson shows you that you don't have to go through your life alone. Join an Integrative Drum Circle, or get trained and offer your own. You will soon see the difference it can make in your life, and in the lives of those who join you.</p>
