About Us

Temple of the Drum was born from Jim and Kathleen's shared passion for helping others and has led to the development of a series of life-changing, empowering spiritual retreats and workshops/classes that teach people to be the creators of their own destinies. Jim and Kathleen have both been involved in energy healing and metaphysics for many years. Jim is a Shamanic Healing Practitioner & Usui Reiki Master, and Kathleen is a Usui & Lightarian Reiki Master and Lightarian™ Institute Teacher/Facilitator. They live by, and teach, Law of Attraction principles and believe anyone can learn to incorporate their simple, yet powerful, strategies for this tool. Their shared passion is to help people move forward on their spiritual paths by hosting spiritual retreats & circles, Lightarian attunements, and personalized energy healing sessions.  

Jim is a combat veteran who had a spiritual awakening years ago after a near fatal car accident. He had a near death experience, then was put into month-long medically-induced coma to survive the third degree burns that covered over 35% of his body from the accident. While in the coma, he had a variety of experiences in the spirit world including being initiated into Shamanism. After that, during his long term recovery at home over the next few years, he learned specific shamanic journeying techniques, and also became a certified Reiki Master, in order to help initiate healing in people through energy work and journeying for them to the other side. He has been practicing this shamanic healing work for several years and someday plans to open a school for others to learn his techniques.

Kathleen was a special education teacher for 12 years, then moved into selling real estate and doing home staging & decorating, which she still does. Her spiritual path started when she was 19 years old when she received Louise Hay's book called "You Can Heal Your Life." It was a powerful introduction into being a spiritual being having a physical experience here on Earth, empowered with the ability and the right to be the designer of her own life. It was very exciting and from that point on began an insatiable thirst in her for more knowledge about metaphysics and spirituality. Years of attending classes & workshops, reading metaphysical books, led to becoming a certified Usui & Lightarian™ Reiki Master, and finally after receiving 30+ Lightarian™ Institute attunements, became a Lightarian attunement facilitator/teacher in 2017. She has also studied the Law of Attraction since 2014 and has become a proficient manifestor for herself and for others. Her goal is to help empower people to be a the creators of positive change in their own lives.
