Join Helen from Earthstar Magic and Nicki from Sacred Rhythms Wellbeing for this two day non-residential workshop where you will birth your own Medicine Drum and Drum Beater in sacred ceremony.Held in a beautiful bush location just 15 minutes from Ballarat CBD, this workshop is held over two separate days. This is a non-residential workshop, meaning that you will return home or to your own booked accommodation on Saturday evening. Perfect for those local to the Ballarat area or individuals not keen on camping.
We ask that all participants bring along their own lunch for both days. We will provide nourishing and delicious snacks for morning and afternoon tea, along with a range of naturopathically formulated herbal teas. All dietary requirements will be catered for.
We will be gathering in early Autumn, under a waxing crescent moon, two weeks after Lammas. This is a wonderful time to plant seeds for the new you wish to call into your life, but also to examine your harvest. What gifts from 2025 are you now carrying in your Medicine Basket?
When we birth a drum, we have the opportunity to work shamanically with the elements - as above so below, as within so without. Weaving together threads of the plant and animal kingdoms, the earth cycle and lunar phase, as well as the stories present in our own bodies.

“It is often said that the first sound we hear in the womb is our mother's heartbeat. Actually, the first sound to vibrate our newly developed hearing apparatus is the pulse of our mother's blood through her veins and arteries. We vibrate to that primordial rhythm even before we have ears to hear."
(Layne Redmond, When The Drummers Were Women: A Spiritual History of Rhythm.)
