ABOUT THIS WORK:

Introduction to Drum Journeying - ancient ways in modern times


Do you have unanswered questions? Or issues you are puzzling over? There is a school of thought that suggests the answers we seek are already within us – whatever the issue, we intuitively know what to do. But we might have forgotten how to connect to our internal guidance system, or the busy pace of life may have gotten in the way! 

A drum journey is a practice that helps us go within and connect with our own intuitive inner knowing. This practice involves listening to the steady rhythmic beat of a drum to help us relax and sink into stillness - where the busy thinking mind quietens down and we can access our intuitive mind. 

During the drum journey, participants are invited to use their imagination to visualise traveling to different imaginary worlds, such as the Lower World, Middle World, or Upper World, to seek guidance, transformation, or insight. These ‘worlds’ represent different aspects of our mind – the subconscious, the conscious and the higher conscious. 

The journey usually begins with setting an intention or question, followed by the drumming, which helps to facilitate relaxation and intuitive knowing. 

Health benefits of a Drum Journeying:

- Inner Connection: Deepens your connection to yourself and your own inner wisdom

- Wellness: Can help improve emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing through the insights gained

- Guidance: Offers clarity and guidance on personal issues, life decisions, and personal growth

- Stress Relief: The rhythmic drumming and meditative state can help reduce stress and promote relaxation

These workshops are intended as an introduction to this simple and effective wellness tool to help understand yourself better and find answers to niggling problems or unanswered questions.

Note on what to bring: 


Please bring a personal blanket, a notebook and a snack. Cushions, some blankets, a cosy wood-burning stove, tea, water and cups will be provided.
