Rhythm By Nature

A purpose in life for founder and drum circle facilitator Patrick Carrick, Rhythm By Nature has become a popular mainstay in British Columbia’s Kootenay Region, offering a variety of programs and events that promote wellness, creativity, and commUnity.

Patrick’s innate connection to drumming took hold in his Australian youth when he discovered the transformative power of rhythm. This passion has taken him all around the world, finally growing roots in the spectacular Canadian Rockies. After completing his facilitation training with the nationally acclaimed ‘Circles Of Rhythm’, Patrick began hosting integrative drum circles in the Columbia Valley communities of Invermere, Radium Hot Springs, Panorama Mountain Resort, Fairmont Hot Springs, Edgewater, and Canal Flats.

Formerly known as ‘Columbia Valley Drumming’, Rhythm by Nature quickly earned a reputation for its positive impact and inclusive approach to drumming. It wasn’t long before the circle expanded to other communities like Golden, Kimberley, Cranbrook, Banff, Revelstoke, Fernie, Nelson and beyond.

Patrick has continued his studies into the physiological science of rhythm and has taken further accredited trainings such as the internationally recognized ‘Rhythm2Recovery’. Patrick is now an accredited ‘Circles of Rhythm’ Master Drum Circle Facilitator & Trainer and uses this knowledge as a force for healing, connection and joy.

One of the driving forces of Rhythm By Nature is its commitment to inclusivity. We firmly believe that everyone should have access to the rejuvenating power of drumming, regardless of their background or experience level. We have worked hard to create an environment that is welcoming and supportive for people of all ages and abilities.

Rhythm by Nature now offers a range of customized services and programs in a variety of settings. From schools & youth programs, team-building & conference events, wellness retreats, and community gatherings, we have become a go-to, wow-factor experience that our clients seek out year after year.

We gratefully acknowledge and give honor to the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc people, upon whose unceded traditional territory we are located… We drum together as one people.
