Join us for a unique Ceremonial Drum Birthing experience set in enchanting lands where Red kites and buzzards soar above, and fallow deer wander freely. Our day will commence at 10 am and conclude around 7:30 pm, immersed in deep ceremony and ritual as we honor the arrival of your Drum earthside, each one manifesting their distinct spirit and medicine that naturally emerges during the birthing process.
Creating your own drum is an immensely powerful journey, often regarded as an opportunity to redefine your personal birth narrative. During Ostara, the Spring Equinox, when daylight graces the land once more, it is the most divine time to embrace the cyclical energies of rebirth within your drums. Throughout the day, Ruth Cato and I will serve as your 'midwives,' offering complete guidance and support as you bring your own drum to life.
Our day will include
Deep ceremony and ritual to honor the hide & hoop , to awaken the Drum Maker that lives deep in your bones & connect you to the voice of the Hide.
