Who is this course for?

Drum birthing is such a wonderful experience, for anyone who wishes to make their own drum and use it to support their wellbeing, to use in circle or in their healing or shamanic practice.

We were all born with our own internal drum – our heartbeat. We hear the heartbeat of our mother in her womb. Making contact with a drum awakens our sacred, awakens our soul. The beat of the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself and hearing or facilitating this “heartbeat” by playing the drum, brings healing and a deeper understanding of your connection with all life.

What will you do and experience?

You will have the opportunity to create your sacred drum and beater (depending on your choice) and be attuned to your drum and explore how the sound of the drum supports your (& others) wellbeing.

The day will also include guided journeying and meditation to connect with our hoops, hides and drums, and of course, and opportunity to drum together!

This full day course covers many aspects, and you will learn:

✓ The benefits of drumming, your wellbeing protocol and practise.

✓ Why rest, integration and grounding are so important for your body’s healing process.

✓ How to care for drum and tune your drum.

✓ How intention, imagery and drumming work together.

✓ How to create your own drum and beater.

Choosing your hoop & hide

You have the option of hoop sizes and animal hide depending on what feels drawn to you. When you secure your place, you will be sent a guide with more information to help you make your decision, which will be required by the 28th August. The remaining payment will be needed 24 hours before the drum birthing day.

Depending on your hoop/hide choice, total cost is as below (this is inclusive of the £165 deposit):

Sustainability & Ethics - the supplier information:

Wherever possible, I’ve sourced the hoops and hides from supplier’s whose ethos is ethical and sustainable. Some prepare their own hides, others have imported hides which have a certificate of cleansing.
