Thursday 18th September | 6h30–9pm | Private Woodland, Abington | £30 (includes a signed copy of the book)
Step into a magical evening under the trees and inside a cosy geodome, where firelight, rhythm, and community await…
Join me in celebrating the launch of my new book, The Beat of Your Own Drum, the history, science and contemporary use of drumming as a path for women’s wisdom, health, and transformation. The book is a powerful exploration of how rhythm, ritual, and women’s wisdom have always walked hand in hand through life’s thresholds. Part practical guide, part scholarly exploration, and part inspirational journey, The Beat of your own Drum invites women to reclaim their rhythmic heritage and harness the healing power of percussion for personal and collective transformation.
You’ll receive a signed copy of the book to take home, but more than that : this is an experience.
🌿 What to expect:
✨ Welcome drinks & woodland connection
📖 Readings from the book & the story behind its creation
🪶 Guided drum meditation to ground you in your body
🔥 A vibrant community drum circle — no experience needed, drums provided
💫 Space to be held, heard, and reconnected to your inner knowing and rhythm
🍵 A nourishing cup of tea and wholesome snack, shared in circle
💬 Time to chat, ask questions, and connect around the fire to close the evening
Whether you’re new to drumming or already feel its heartbeat in your bones, this gathering will nourish your soul and reconnect you to your innate wild wisdom.
Spaces are limited to 30 to keep the setting intimate.
Cost: £30 — includes a signed copy of The Beat of Your Own Drum
