We are so pleased you've expressed interest in your child(ren) joining us for DRUMBEAT with Lionheart. You're probably wondering, what is 'DRUMBEAT with Lionheart'? Well, we're so glad you asked!
What is 'DRUMBEAT'?
DRUMBEAT is a program which uses music, psychology and neurobiology to help participants connect with themselves and with others.
The DRUMBEAT acronym stands for: Discovering Relationships Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes and Thoughts. As a program, DRUMBEAT aims to improve emotional regulation, enhance social skills and team work as well as their understanding of emotions and healthy expressions of these emotions.
DRUMBEAT with Lionheart in 2026 is open for children aged from 8 years and older. We hope to provide a space for children to connect again after attending a previous Lionheart camp. We hope to offer an opportunity for children to extend their understanding of their own grief response as well as exploring other areas related to adjusting to their new world following their bereavement.
We will be using djembe drums along with conversations, games and activities to explore various themes, learn new skills and make some music (or noise!) together.
What is expected of participants?
DRUMBEAT with Lionheart is one day program. Details below:
Date: Friday 17th April 2026 (School Holidays)
Time: 8:30am to 3pm
Location: Innaloo
Provided: Djembe drums, morning/afternoon tea and lunch
To Bring: Water bottles, hats, comfortable clothing
We will require our participants to commit to attend the whole day, as is the case for our camp programs (unless of course unable to attend due to sickness). Only children need to participate (no adult program), though we do ask that adults join us to watch a 15 minute performance at the end of the day, at 2:45pm. And yes, that means you can drop your child off to us for the day!
At the conclusion of the program, we will email you a link to an online survey at the end of the program to seek your feedback about how you found the program. Your participation in providing feedback will be most helpful for us in shaping our future programs.
We're in! What's next?
