Mark Suresh Schlanger
I
am a semi-professional drummer, with a strong interest in health,
wellness and bringing rhythm to all people. I have studied percussion
in Cuba and New York, and currently am studying and playing in
Washington DC. After completing an MBA program at George Washington
University, I was introduced to effective group drumming practices at a
HealthRhythms workshop in 2004. This program was a revelation to me,
and I was inspired to delve more deeply into facilitation. I have
facilitated over 200 circles, ranging from corporate team building
events, to birthday parties, from community circles to wedding
celebrations. I bring knowledge, energy and enthusiasm and a natural
way with people and groups to my work. My mission is to empower
everyone to find their inner rhythm and to teach others how to play,
listen to and work more effectively with others.

Training:
I
have taken the HealthRhythms training in 2004 and because the program
was so rich, I was compelled to repeat it later that same year. In 2005
I took the weeklong Drum Circle Failitators training with Arthur Hull,
in beautiful Hawaii. I have extensive training in health and wellness
(I am a certified yoga instructor), and have a BA in psychology. Also
have studied percussion in Cuba, NYC, Santa Fe, NM and Washington DC.
