HIDE TO HEARTBEAT - Drum Birthing Day (Horse & Ash)

Hide to Heartbeat: Drum Birthing day

A One-Day Journey | Studio 6, Leeds

Join Becky for a day of ceremony, creativity, and embodied connection as you birth your own medicine drum — a sacred instrument woven from horse hide and an ash hoop, guided by the spirit of Fire Horse.

Fire Horse carries the medicine of momentum, courage, and life force — a catalyst for movement, truth, and aligned action. It invites us to step fully into our vitality, to trust the intelligence of the body, and to move forward with clarity and heart.

The ash tree, rooted deeply in the Earth while reaching toward the Sky, brings balance, protection, and grounded presence — supporting Fire Horse energy to move with purpose rather than burn out.

We’ll begin our day by opening sacred space and blessing the hide and hoop, honouring the beings and elements that offer themselves in this act of creation. Through cacao ceremony and intention setting, you’ll soften into the heart and open to the rhythm that calls your drum into being.

With your own hands, you will weave the threads of spirit into form, knot by knot, prayer by prayer, as your drum takes shape. Guided by a shamanic journey, you’ll be invited to meet the Spirit of your Drum — to listen for its voice, name, and medicine.

We’ll close our day in a sound blessing circle, awakening the new drums and sending their heartbeats out into the world — a reminder of your own inner rhythm and creative power.
