Welcome, and thank you for following the guidance of your heart.
This immersive weekend is a call to gather in sacred circle, awaken your innate gifts, and reclaim a fundamental tool within the earth-based wisdom lineage of humankind.
The Shamanic Drum is a profound spiritual technology - an instrument that reconnects us with our true nature, the elements, Spirit / Creator, and the heart of Gaia. Across cultures and throughout time, the Drum has aligned people with the animate forces of nature, supporting healing through harmonic sound and embodied presence.
Across the weekend you will learn:
The symbolic language woven into the Shamanic Drum
Its historical and maternal lineage
Sacred songs and shamanic drum journeying
Techniques to craft and harness the full power of your Drum
We are deeply blessed to gather at Heartwood Farm and be surrounded by expansive views, meandering river, ancient grandmother tree, a fire circle, stone labyrinth and space to connect with ourselves, one another and the spirit of the land.
