Danny aka Bongo Boy - Drumming for Health & Wellbeing
In today's episode I am joined by the witty talented Danny Lestuzzi aka Bongo Boy who shares his heart warming transformational journey with drumming his way back to health and wellbeing his sharing his magical drumming to others all over the UK.
Danny was stuck and feeling alone in a bubble of grief, depression and anxiety after the passing of his Grandma and his Dad which led to spiralling patterns of alcohol, drugs, food binges, isolating himself which led to a nervous breakdown in 2018.
Realising that something needed to change, taking time away from work, Danny began connecting to his local community exploring alternative healing modalities with Reiki and Breathwork. With the support of his close friend Tam, Danny was encouraged to volunteer at Stone Cold Sober Festival in 2022 which then snowballed into other conscious sober festivals. Danny got pulled into a drumming circle which instantly changed his world to begin his drumming journey with Drumbelina (his Djembe African Drum).
Danny has now explored alternative ways of healing such as breathwork, cold water therapy, men's circles and much more which has opened him up to connecting to the power of vulnerability of connecting to sharing his voice and emotions which has been a guide/ tool to help him begin to navigate through what he had been repressing.
Having a tough split in his family life from the age of 6 being torn between the UK and Italy, Danny shares his experience of being split with family life and how over the years it had hardened his emotional connection to himself and others.
Danny shares his insights, wisdom and a tips for exploring different modalities for wellbeing, navigating emotions and learning about our true self.
A massive shoutout to all those at Stone Cold Sober that began this incredible journey and Danny would like to personally thank Joanna, Liam, Paulina and Jake for being such a huge part of this for him. Also a huge thank you to All About Love, LoveJam and Koroleko Moussa Dembele.
