The drum is the most ancient instrument dating back thousands of years and has been the working companion of shamans, ceremonialists, healers and mystics the world over. Whether it is ceremonial work, rituals, healing work, sacred dancing, or movement between realities and worlds, the drum can be an extremely powerful ally for you. When you make a mystical drum in the right ways, you are facilitating the birth of a truly sacred object.

During this course, you will be guided with some deep practices, including:

All materials and equipment is provided and included in the cost. Most of the materials are organic and locally sourced, including deer hide, wool and wood. Drum hoops are hand-made and deer skins are hand-prepared here on the farm. The red deer have been locally hunted by expert respectful people.

The course is fully residential, so accommodation and all meals are included in the price.

The course is held in English.
