From Grief to Awakening: How ‘My Drumbeats’ Became Her Healing Anthem

In this soulful episode of Surviving Roots, host Cari Fund welcomes Haitian-born artist and yoga teacher Anick Vorbe, author of the spiritual memoir My Drumbeats. Together, they explore how grief can become a sacred portal of awakening.

Anick shares her healing journey through the sudden loss of her brother, her experiences with ayahuasca, and how writing this book became a way to reconnect with her voice, her culture, and her purpose.  We discuss plant medicine, raising conscious children, and what it means to write for the collective. This conversation is a heart-opening reminder that healing isn’t about avoiding pain—it’s about moving through it.

We talked about:

• How losing her brother launched her into awakening

• Her journey with ayahuasca and natural healing

• Raising a son while breaking generational cycles

• What it means to create from pain, not in spite of it

Listen in and rediscover your own rhythm.

If you’re grieving, growing, or searching for meaning—you’ll feel seen in this episode.
