DRUM BIRTHING WORKSHOPS - Next workshop December 2nd & 3rd 2023

​

Every drum birthing weekend is unique but a general outline of what you can expect is given below.

 

Your drum birthing weekend will be a time of ceremony and gratitude, working in sacred space and connecting to the tree and animal spirits who have come together with you to create your drum.

We will journey to connect to the tree spirits and choose the wood for your beater.

 

We will labour together with laughter and joy, there may be tears too that need to be woven into this mirror of you. So we will dream into being this magical partner for the rest of your life, your own sacred spirit drum

 

To complete the bonding at the end of the weekend we will take you on a guided journey to meet the spirit of your drum and we will bless the drum in a sacred ceremony as you take the first steps on your new path together. (This may be an outdoor ceremony dependent on weather conditions)

 

All drums are made in the traditional way, using lacing cut from the same hide, thus keeping the spirit of the animal within the drum, and within ceremony to honour the spirit of the animal and the tree that gave of themselves to bring this sacred medicine tool into being. Your own drum is a guide, healer, teacher and friend that guides you on a special journey of inner exploration.

 

Your drum can be either stag, reindeer, or horse - please let us know at point of booking or paying deposits which you would like to work with.

Prices include all materials and fees.
