Episode 2.22: Self Identity, Drum Circles, and More with Andrew Ecker
One of the great things about podcasting is that I regularly get to meet and have in-depth conversations with fascinating people whose paths I would almost certainly never cross anywhere else.
Today’s guest, author, speaker and drum circle facilitator Andrew Ecker, is one such person.
In this interview, Andrew weaves the rich tale of his life’s story, how he found his authentic self, and how that brought him to help others through the tradition of drum circles and sound medicine.
We think you’ll find this a unique and fascinating journey. So let’s get on the road!
About Andrew Ecker
Andrew Ecker, author of the The Sacred 7, Apache “NDE”, Irish and German American. Born into an inheritance of trauma, both his parents were addicted to drugs and died very young. Mom, Kathy Lindsey, died from a cocaine overdose whereas Father, Dale Ecker, from HepC caused from intravenous drug use.
Growing up in the height of the Reagan and Clinton “War on Drugs” policies led Andrew down a path of destruction that included cocaine and heroin abuse until he made a decision to change his life while serving 3.5 years in federal prison for drug charges.
Andrew found healing in his life through the use of ancient technologies including drumming and a ceremonial introduction process of his Native American ancestry he outlines in his book The Sacred 7.
