Evidenced Based Rhythm Circles

The Rhythm2Recovery format is an integrative model of practice combining experiential therapy techniques with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) influenced by the third wave approaches of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology (PP). These newer cognitive approaches are strength based, and focus less on exploring problems and more on finding solutions. Although the R2R model owes much to the influence of these new cognitive approaches, it differs critically in balancing the cognitive with experiential, thus reducing the reliance on language, while simultaneously creating a safe and often uplifting therapeutic experience.

The program is suitable for schools; Department of Justice; AOD Rehabilitation Centre’s; Women’s Refuges; Community Not-for-Profits; Aged Care Settings; Mental Health Services; Health Centre’s and any organisation looking for an uplifting Team Building Workshop.

  • Bullying Awareness & Prevention

  • Drug & Alcohol Prevention and Early Intervention

  • Addressing Grief & Loss
