Matthew Nord — Rhythm, Connection, and Transformation
Matthew leads with rhythm — not just the beat of the drum, but the heartbeat of human connection. For over a decade, he has facilitated gatherings that blend drum circles, movement, breathwork, and sound into immersive experiences that are as grounding as they are uplifting.
As a group facilitator for organizations such as the Montana Men’s Foundation, Camp Mak-A-Dream Montana & Camp Good Grief. Matthew has guided people of all ages and backgrounds through experiences ranging from soulful, reflective circles to jubilant, laughter-filled celebrations. Each session is customized to the energy and intention of your gathering — whether it’s deep transformation, grief, heartfelt bonding, or joyful release.
In addition to drum circles, Matthew plays acoustic guitar, piano, harmonica & ukulele. He offers music-scape meditations that transport listeners into a state of calm and presence. Around the bonfire or campfire, his sing-alongs bring people together in a spirit of ease, warmth, and shared joy — the kind of moments that turn into lifelong memories.
Perfect for:
Whether your vision is meditative and soul-nourishing or wildly celebratory, Matthew’s facilitation blends ancient rhythm, heartfelt music, and modern group dynamics to create an unforgettable experience — one that will be felt long after the last note fades.
