One of the greatest gifts I’ve discovered through experiencing a life-threatening disease is working with Buddy Helm. The more I relax, release, and find my essential self with the help of Buddy’s awareness, guidance, and gentle teaching, the happier and healthier I am becoming. Call it “finding my groove.” For me, this work is transforming my relationship with Life and with myself. Thank you Buddy. More to follow!RT

Buddy,
The dolphin cruise last Thursday was a great experience for both of us. We found the drum healing protocols fascinating. We are still processing the book and CD you gave us. I do know I felt a change in my body when I went to sleep that evening.
Thanks and I hope we stay in touch,

When I walked into Seasons on Montana Ave. a little over a month ago – I felt the magic and sanctity of being in a holy place – it was a little incongruous to see the whimsical interspersed with the spiritual. African drums, wind chimes, colorful beaded curtains, jewelry; unique pieces of hand painted, sculpted and carved art works and beatific Buddhas.
Intrigued by the sound Buddy was getting from his drum – that seemed to come about so effortlessly – the familiar fear and racing heart rose up in me as I realized I was about to speak my dreaded secret – “Yeah, but I have no rhythm.”Within 5 minutes Buddy had me drumming and proved to me not only did I have rhythm but I have “my own rhythm” and it’s always been there inside me waiting to be awakened in a safe, non judgmental place where I can explore my own groove.
Since joining Buddy’s drum circle twice a week I have experienced a real change, after years of instilled negative beliefs, pessimism, pervasive, self defeating, thoughts – I feel like they have melted away. I sleep better and have more peaceful moments, hours, and days. I react to other people and situations with a calm assurance that was not part of my previous way of being. Road rage –gone. Irritability – almost gone. Happier and with more self confidence and a brighter outlook. I can be grateful now when I’m alone with my thoughts.
Thanks Buddy, I Owe You A World Of Gratitude, A..

“This is S…. from last night’s class. Here is my email.
I’m kind of speechless yet at the same time have so much to say about
your class.
I feel light years past where I was the day before..”
Thank you, S….

“Hi Buddy,
I have an interest in the certification program.. I do not have much experience drumming. The first time I ever participated in a group was the time you were at U…… It was a great experience and I was particularly impressed with the therapeutic value. Actually, I loved it and want to be a part of it to help heal our world.
Look forward to seeing you in April!
Peace,
S…..”
