Who's Marilyn?
Hi - I'm Marilyn...and to do a little 'sum it up' for you, here goes:
I'm a Creator, Producer, and Facilitator of Women's Transformational Events and Workshops;
Founder of JustABeatAway, The Wisdom Roundtable, and formerly co-founder of Blondes Drum 2;
Writer, Songwriter, Musician/Drummer 101; Change Agent; an ENTJ; 6-6-7-2 on the Kolbe Scale;
Firestorm of Divine Creative Energy; Manifesting Generator; Reiki Practitioner; Natural Genius Intuitive Coach,
Lover of Life, Heartbeats, Dance and anything rhythmic.
I live in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida with my husband and am encouraged by my four children and 6 grandchildren; and I know the importance of feeling it, living it, and passing it on.
Ponte Vedra Beach is about 12 miles due east of Jacksonville, so I'm able to cover a wide territory and am at your service AND 'just a beat away.'
My emphasis is on the importance of ceremony in families and communities. I continue to build that bridge between isolation and connectedness by forming the supportive environments of circles throughout the local beaches and Jacksonville area; in addition to communities near and far.
I began developing my interest in drumming after moving my parents to Florida to care for them in their later years. Since I took a sabbatical from work, I had time to investigate other areas that spoke to my heart. A meditative drumming class was being held at the Community Center and I thought it might be what I needed to move through the grief of losing both of my parents within 6 months at the ages of 91 and 95. The Drumbeat helped the healing process and gave me a focused intention of stillness while it bathed me in the soft heartbeat rhythms of time.
It was then that I figured if I loved to drum and found it the tool that I could use to affect my stress, mood, and joy, then others would like it also. That was the beginning in 2008 .... it morphed from lessons to leading workshops to developing a variety of circles to meet the needs of the community. I combined my previous career history in the employee staffing industry where I used my intuitive talent for guiding others to find their bliss and passion in an environment which worked best for them.
I launched a collaborative company called Blondes Drum 2 in 2010 and continued to help others discover their beat and uncover their rhythmic voice. The solo venture now calls to me as I ramp up again for the new year - 2013 - with big ideas and loads of radiating energy; thus JUST A BEAT AWAY!
To bring ritual and ceremony back into our lives as global thinkers and doers would be the essence of Just A Beat Away. When we recognize the importance of gathering together to share life’s moments and to connect with each other at a level of joy and appreciation -- we find unity in those moments which extend out into our daily lives.
************
Gathering communities in circles of joy, fun, and exploration gives me the pleasure of connection and my community the gift of unity --- the mortar to build the bridge of hearts - we are one heart, one beat, one community.

A little about Marilyn's Beat....
Bridging Community
As a Drum Circle Facilitator, Trained HealthRHYTHMS Facilitator, and Percussionist/Songwriter/Performer, I am passionate about building bridges between people and communities using the rhythm of the drum and music as the universal language of connection.
