Dance Drum
and Meditation
Since 2012, I've had the joy of guiding Dance, Drum, and Meditation (DDM) workshops and classes that cater to all levels and sizes of groups. Whether you're in an intimate setting or part of a larger gathering, these sessions offer a unique blend of cultural practices designed to inspire contemplation and foster community spirit.
In our intergenerational classes, beginners and seasoned practitioners come together, sharing insights and learning from one another. We break the barrier that suggests art and creativity are reserved for an elite few, emphasizing instead the cultural and communal essence of these traditions. Discover how drumming, one of the earliest tools for meditation, engages all your senses, connects you with others, and deepens your bond with nature.
Through percussion, storytelling, improvisation, playful exploration, and traditional rhythms and movements we will discover how drumming, one of the earliest tools for meditation, engages all your senses, connects you with others, and deepens your bond with nature.
Whether you're looking to join a session or book a workshop, I’m excited to welcome you. Regular workshops are also available in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. For more details, please feel free to reach out!
Mindfulness/ Contemplative Arts
Training
These courses cater to a wide range of needs and experience levels, from introductory to advanced. Whether you're looking for a short session, a full day, a weekend retreat, or weekly gatherings, I focus on teaching how to integrate Awareness and Contemplation into daily life. These practices help to enrich your perspective and connect you with moments of meditation, no matter how busy your life may be.
Discover and harness the tools you already possess to awaken and cultivate this inner awareness. Think of me as a guide helping you rediscover a path you already know deep down, but may need a gentle nudge to fully activate and develop.
Our workshops are thoughtfully designed for various settings, including educational, counseling, performance, athletic, business, and wellness environments. We bring out tools of creativity, play, and imagination in engaging and enjoyable ways, helping you learn more about yourself and the world around you. By tapping into these practices, we uncover and celebrate our Truest & Highest Selves—our TrueHearts.

Program Design
Using the elements of art, mindfulness, and education, I design a variety of programs and curriculums. These programs can be designed to
Enhance the materials you are currently using
Add other elements such as music or art to increase retention
Design a new program tailored to your desired outcome or choose one of my pre-designed programs.
And so much more!
Performance
My performance work beautifully blends humor and incisiveness, providing both comfort and provocation. Storytelling is a deep passion of mine, and I proudly consider myself a 21st Century Griot. While it may sometimes play a subtle role, storytelling is a foundational element of my work. Through storytelling, songs, drums, percussions, poetry and movement I’m able to weave together stories and tales of struggle, victory, challenge, indignation, and hope. Not only am I able to share my experiences, but they also broadly represent the human experience. I celebrate and explore life in this amazing, challenging time. I explore the concept of past, present, and future together.
I have experience performing in multiple settings from classroom to executive functions, stage, and festival. When I perform, my intention is to share consciousness and insight with those present and not. I, Minerva TrueHeart, infuse a rich diversity into the experience of living, passionately striving to unveil our truest and highest selves!
Our TrueHearts!
