Our Vision

A world in which the transformative power of music and movement elevates the well-being of all people.

Our Mission

We exist to ease isolation and loneliness in our communities through interactive drum circle events that engage people of all ages and abilities.

Our Story

Founded in October 2021, the Rhythm of Life Society (ROLS) was born from a passion to spread the wellness benefits of drumming within community.

 

Led by Founding Director Lyle Povah, who brings over 40 years of experience in music and drum circle facilitation, ROLS began to realize its vision with the 2023 Drum Run Adventure Tour—an epic two and half month fundraising journey that brought music and joy to many communities across British Columbia.
