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.
