About this Event
So many women at this time are feeling a call to heal their connection with their voice.
There’s a longing to express ourselves more fully. And to break through patterns of keeping quiet
Working with the drums and the voice together can be a liberation of self expression and can create a supportive environment to allow our authentic voice to emerge.
We aren't aiming to sound 'perfect' or 'nice' we will be inviting the realness of our voices to gently be uncovered. So many of us have wounds around our voices not being welcomed. And in this space we are looking to welcome the voice as it is. This will be a gentle and deep work.
Meeting you where you are and helping you move at your own pace to a deeper connection with your voice, having it heard and welcomed.
This workshop is a space for women to reconnect with their authentic voice and be supported by the sounds and rhythm of the drum - unlocking self-expression, empowerment, and a deeper connection to ourselves.
Singing Workshop - Women's Voice & Drum - this session offers more opportunities to sing and sing songs as well as connect with our voices and each other through chants and call and response.
Who is this workshop for: those who have done a workshop with me before or feel fairly confident to sing.
Through guided vocal practices, songs, drumming, gentle healing experiences and intuitive sound work, we will:
🔸 Liberate the voice – Explore humming, sounding, simple chants, and free expression to explore our voices at a pace that feels right for us and discover our own unique voices.
🔸 Connect with the drum – Experience the grounding and transformative power of drums to heal and connect, allowing the drums to support us as we explore our voices.
🔸 Deepen Inner connection – Use sound and rhythm for self-discovery, healing, and inner connection.
🔸 Sing simple easy to learn songs - Singing songs together to allow us to connect more deeply with the themes of songs and find harmony and connection with ourselves and the group.
🔸 Come together – In this space we will be giving each other permission to explore our voices. And in so doing unravel generations of wounds and fears around being heard.
Emma Hewitt, a drama facilitator, drum circle holder and energy healer will be guiding the group through a series of voice explorations and drumming to find a deeper connection with our voices with the aim to experience greater self expression.
It’s the kind of day where everyone can work at their own pace and there’s no expectations - let's co-create a space where we can open up to something very beautiful - our own voices.
This will be a safely held trauma informed, non judgemental and supportive environment so we can be as brave as we feel in any moment to explore our voices.
If this is calling, do join - it would be wonderful to have you with us.
There's no skills or experience of drumming needed.
There will be plenty of drums to borrow or bring your drum if you have one (we’ll be working with shamanic style drums - sometimes called frame drums).
‘I went to a wonderful workshop yesterday held by Emma Hewitt 'The Women's Voice and Drum Connection' workshop was a very empowering experience. Exploring my own voice with drum and hearing other women loudly and wildly expressing their inner voice was a deeply powerful and moving experience. We connected with our ancestral voices as part of the session and I feel a door opened, I'm now excited about exploring my voice with the spirit of drum. Thank you Emma for offering a safe and empowering space for all of us attendees.’ Maggie

Emma Hewitt has had a 20 year career working in Community Arts. After falling in love with drums and drumming in 2020 after making her first drum and drumming all the way through the pandemic Emma understands the power of drums for health, wellbeing and spiritual connection.
A Family Constellation Facilitator and Reiki Master/Teacher Emma creates unique ways to heal and create connections.
Emma has undertaken multiple shamanic and drum trainings and uncovered more and more of the ways that drums can be used and support us on our journey.
Through holding drumming circles Emma's voice started to emerge. From somewhere vocal expressions that came from ancestors, past lives and spirit guides emerged.
In this workshop Emma is delighted to be able to share some of the knowledge she has acquired over a 4 year love affair with drums and drumming and voice connection.
