DRUMBEAT

DRUMBEAT stands for Discovering Relationships Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes and Thoughts.

For children aged 8 and above, this program (designed by Holyoake) is a structured learning program which uses music, psychology and neurobiology to help participants connect with themselves and with others.

Our 2026 DRUMBEAT day was held on Friday 17th of April.

For our little Lionhearts, DRUMBEAT is a chance to connect again after attending a previous Lionheart camp and it offers an opportunity for them to extend their understanding of their own grief response as well as exploring other areas related to adjusting to their new world following the death of a loved one.
