Natalie Pipkin

Drum Circle Facilitator/Rhythm Advocate

​

 

 

  Natalie Pipkin is an Indianapolis based Drum Circle Facilitator, Home Educator, wife and mother of two.  Influence from African drum griots, a decade of participation in drum circles, and continuous involvement with the Percussive Arts Society, has given Natalie a great appreciation for the power of drumming.

​

  With inspiration from Babatunde Olatunji, Natalie answered the call and  formed The Pulse Project Indy.  Group empowerment drumming for cultural, social, emotional wellness, development and justice. Natalie’s desire as a facilitator is to make community drumming accessible, and transformational in her community. Her ultimate goal like Babatunde, is to see a drum in every home. Making group drumming the heartbeat of our communities.

  Natalie is a Remo HealthRHYTHMS trained facilitator, Village Music Circles graduate, as well as a professional member of the Drum Circle Facilitators Guild.
