An immersive day retreat for people who want to feel clear, energized, and connected again.
⭐️ Space is limited • Beginner friendly • Drums provided, or bring your own
Join multi-platinum musician and Rusted Root founding member Jim Donovan for an uplifting day retreat designed to help you get out of your head, back into your body, and reconnected with yourself.
Through beginner-friendly drumming, sound healing, rhythm-based mindfulness, and simple connective practices, you’ll learn how to quiet mental noise, release stress, and tap into the steady energy that rhythm can create.
No musical experience is needed. This is not about performing or getting it “right.” It’s about feeling better, opening up, and discovering practical rhythm and sound tools you can use long after the retreat is over.
Come as you are. We’ll provide the drums, the guidance, and a welcoming space to reconnect.

“It is better than one can imagine! Jim is an outstanding teacher - very welcoming and inviting. He makes learning easy. He is very generous with the teachings and genuinely wants us to succeed. I make it a point to attend any of his events I can.”—Connie L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The best part of the program with Jim was the warm, genuine connections we all made over a relatively short period of time. Jim's style of teaching instantly puts you at ease. And, it was SO MUCH FUN!! Thanks Jim for a fantastic drumming experience!” —Mary Ellen M. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“From the beginning of the training Jim made us feel very welcome and comfortable. At first I was concerned about my lack of percussion experience. That went away rather quickly as Jim provided us with the tools to "smile and keep going". He provides an environment that infectiously brings people together and opens their minds and hearts to learning.” —Heather O. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Using Jim's techniques, I take more notice of my breathing patterns, or lack thereof. I feel my spirits lifted and my creative ideas flowing every time we are part of one of your sessions. I feel more connected to each day and find satisfaction in disrupting some of my rituals and habits. Love your work and how you connect with people and uplift everyone in your presence.” -Ralph M., MD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
