In this powerful conversation with Max Nijst, Andrew Ecker shares his extraordinary transformation from a life shattered by generational trauma, addiction, and 3.5 years in federal prison to becoming a renowned drum circle facilitator who has led over 5,000 healing circles across psychiatric lockdowns, cancer treatment centers, and Native American reservations.
Drawing from his Apache, Irish, and German heritage, Andrew reveals how discovering the ancient technology of drumming and his "Sacred 7" ceremonial process became the medicine that saved his life after losing both parents to drug-related deaths and surviving his own suicide attempts.
He explains how rhythm creates a sacred space where demographics fade and people connect at the most basic level of humanness, and why helping others remember who they truly are—beyond their pain, beyond their stories—has become his life's mission in service to communities across Phoenix and an entire world of Fearless Happyness.
