About this Event
Hide to Heartbeat: Drum Birthing day
A One-Day Journey | Studio 6, Leeds
Join me for a day of ceremony, creation, and connection as you birth your own medicine drum — a sacred instrument woven from red stag hide and a rosewood hoop.
The red stag carries the spirit of grounded strength, vitality, and presence — a guardian of the forest who moves with both power and grace. The rosewood holds a softer, heart-based energy, resonating with compassion, love, and the gentle wisdom of the feminine. Together they embody the divine union of masculine and feminine, the pulse of life that dances in balance through all creation.
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.
