From Bonham to Buddha — Rock Drummer & Spiritual Path | Clementine Moss

Clementine Moss is a musician, writer, spiritual counselor, and the founding drummer of Zeparella, the internationally acclaimed all-female-led Led Zeppelin tribute band.

Beyond her life on stage, Clementine has spent over 30 years studying meditation and contemplative practices. She is a spiritual counselor, a minister with the Foundation for the Sacred Dream, and the author of From Bonham to Buddha and Back: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer — a memoir that explores how music, spirituality, and everyday life intersect.

In this grounded and inspiring conversation, Clementine shares:

• Growing up with supportive parents who encouraged exploration

• Discovering drumming at 27 and the three-year commitment that changed everything

• How a silent meditation retreat set her on a lifelong spiritual path

• Why spirituality and rock & roll actually complement each other

• Becoming the observer of your thoughts instead of reacting to them

• Finding presence amid the chaos of touring and performing

• Lessons from both transcendent stage moments and ordinary struggles

If you’re in your 20s exploring creativity, purpose, spirituality, or simply trying to stay grounded while life gets loud, this episode offers real wisdom and encouragement.
