The RHYTHM
Collective
Welcome to the RHYTHM Collective
What is the Rhythm Collective?
The RHYTHM Collective is the core group of creative innovators behind RHYTHM. We are a collaborative community of musicians, movers, and cross-disciplinary creatives exploring how the ancient medicine of rhythm, sound, and movement can improve our health and enhance our lives. It’s not about performance or instruction—it’s about entering the flow together and discovering what happens when we gather and connect through a shared pulse and creative process within an intentional space.
Whether you’re a percussionist, vocalist, guitarist, or someone who expresses through movement, this is a space to bring your skills, curiosity, and unique style. Together, we build a living rhythm that grounds, energizes, and connects.
What will we do?
Over several months, beginning in February 2026, we’ll meet in a multi-room, sound-filled venue in Calgary’s Beltline. A central rhythm will run through the space, giving us a foundation for weekly sessions where we improvise, experiment, and design the public RHYTHM experience from the inside out.
Our work blurs the lines between:
Performer and participant
Leader and follower
Structure and improvisation
Sound and silence
Rhythm and ritual
What We Do Together
Create immersive musical environments where sound, movement, and voice all belong.
Explore how rhythm can regulate the nervous system, release energy, and build connection.
Share techniques, songs, and rhythmic traditions to grow personal and collective expression.
Co-create public RHYTHM events—open gatherings where our collective energy becomes medicine for the wider community.

This is not a rehearsal. It’s not a concert. It’s not therapy in the traditional sense.
It’s a shared experiment in what happens when sound, movement, and presence meet in real time.You may leave saying:
“I didn’t just add my beat to something powerful—I was transformed by it.”
