Event Type

There comes a point in a life when self-concern becomes too small. When personal stories, grievances, ambitions and identities begin to feel tight around the ribs. When something older, quieter and steadier begins to call. Drum birthing is a response to that call. On the full moon in Aries, just after the Autumn Equinox, birth your own drum – an 18″ red stag drum held within a natural wooden hoop of ash or rosewood. This is not simply an act of crafting, but an initiatory journey. As your hands work with hide and wood, you’ll be guided through a living passage across your own life history, meeting your patterns, your imprints, and your orientation to spirit. Not as belief, but as the conscious directing of energy. This is a threshold moment, a remembering, a re-alignment. This is not a workshop, it is a crossing.

Cost: £350 and includes the hoop and hide for a fully covered 18’’ shamanic drum made with Red Stag. 6 spaces available
