How It Started

Rhythm of Life Society was founded on the belief that rhythm is a fundamental birthright and a force connecting all aspects of life. Rhythm pulses through everything—not only in music but in nature’s cycles, the beat of our hearts, movement, and the social bonds that hold us together. At Rhythm of Life, we use drum circles to foster this sense of connection, creating spaces where people can come together, find support, and share in the universal experience of rhythm.

 

Our founder, Lyle Povah, has spent over 40 years using rhythm as a tool for well-being. Through his work, he saw how rhythm could help people feel more connected and alive. When his for-profit business paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lyle recognized a greater need—society was facing not only a health crisis but a crisis of disconnection and loneliness. Driven by this realization, he founded Rhythm of Life Society as a community of like-minded people who believe in the healing power of music and movement.

 

The mission of Rhythm of Life Society is clear: to address the growing issues of isolation and loneliness by creating spaces for authentic connection. With each beat, we bring people closer, meeting a fundamental human need for meaningful relationships and the opportunity to be part of something greater than ourselves.
