D o you hear the call of the drums?

T hey have been speaking loudly to many! This day workshop is open to all and within it you will birth your own drum and beater and journey to meet it's spirit. There are strictly only 8 places available.

J oin us for a day of Sacred Creation in the beautiful Nolava room in Goddess House. Right in the centre of Glastonbury.

W e begin the day by arriving, landing in the beautiful surrounds of Goddess House.

W e will open our sacred space by building and altar together, taking part in a grounding meditation to help us arrive and set the intention for our day and then taking part in a sharing circle.

A fter this we begin the process of preparing our materials. We will choose and connect to our hoops, connect with and honour our hides, building a relationship with these sacred materials.

T hen we measure, cut and hole punch. Preparing the materials, building the pieces for our drums.

A fter lunch we begin the process of weaving the drums into being. Seeing as these beings start to come into the world, perhaps weaving in a crystal into the centre handle or adding words into the binding.

T hen you will birth your drum!

W e make our beaters and then final journey to see if we can meet the spirit of our newly birthed drums, our allys and friends for life!
