Drum Birthing Workshop - with Toni and Lucy
**PLEASE NOTE - THE BOOKING PRICE SHOWING ABOVE IS THE NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT PAYMENT. Please see text below for full costings.
This is a 2 day course and there are limited places:
Saturday 6th June - 10am-4pm (arrive for 9.45am)
and
Sunday 14th June - 10am-2pm
The non-refundable DEPOSIT of £165.00 is payable on booking by the 1st May and the balance due before the day of the course. This deposit is needed in order to secure your hoop and hide - it takes time to source, prepare and supply the materials.
The makeup of your sacred drum is dependent on the wood of the hoop and the animal hide choice that you make. You have Birch or Willow wood and Deer or Horse hide options. We can supply you with details information about the essence of the different trees and animals if you wish.
Please indicate which hoop and hide you would like when you book.
A 14” Birch hoop / Deer hide drum . Total cost - £325.00
A 14” Willow hoop / Deer hide drum. Total cost - £335.00 (limited number available)
A 14” Birch hoop / Horse hide drum. Total cost - £355.00
A 16” Willow hoop / Horse hide drum. Total cost - £380.00
The rawhide skins will come in a variety of colours and patterns as each is unique.
PLEASE NOTE: We need a minimum of 4 people to choose the Horse hide, in order to make it cost effective. If we do not have enough people choosing this hide, it will not be available and you will have the Deer hide instead. We will know this well before the course date and will keep you informed.
Sustainability - the supplier information: Wherever possible, Toni has sourced the hoops and hides from suppliers whose ethos is ethical and sustainable. Some prepare their own hides, others have imported hides which have a certificate of cleansing. The spirit of the animal is always honoured and not taken for their hide. This is absolutely crucial to us both.

Who is this course for?
Drum birthing is such a wonderful experience. This course is for anyone who wishes to make their own drum and use it to support their wellbeing or to use in their healing or shamanic practice and to use their drum as a healing tool.
We were all born with our own internal drum – our heartbeat. We hear the heartbeat of our mother in her womb. Making contact with a drum awakens our sacred, awakens our soul. The beat of the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself and hearing or facilitating this “heartbeat” by playing the drum, brings healing and a deeper understanding of your connection with all life.
What will you do and experience?
You will have the opportunity to create your sacred drum and beater and be attuned to your ‘Eden’ / Sacred Space when you will connect to the spirit of your drum, so you may explore how the spirit and sound of the drum supports wellbeing.
This 2 day course covers:
✓ The benefits of drumming, your wellbeing protocol and practice.
✓ Why rest, integration and grounding are so important for your body’s healing process.
✓ How to care for drum and tune your drum.
✓ How opening your heart space helps your intention, imagery and journeys as you drum.
✓ How to create your own drum and beater.
Through meditation and the art of journeying, we will explore:
✓ How movement, grounding within, focused-awareness and imagination to help you settle into a safe and supportive space that you co-create.
…experience
✓ Through a guided healing meditation, you will be attuned to your ‘Eden’/ sacred space, the sacred sanctuary space within where you can reconnect to nature.
✓ Sacred fire healing placement
✓ From this sanctuary space you will experience a guided drum journey to meet the spirit of your drum and wander together in your Eden space to journey together and receive healing.
….observe
✓ how your focused attention and intention can support you to understand your body’s expression and become more self aware and able to listen to what you need.
✓ how hoop size, hide thickness and hydration/warmth makes a difference to the sound and resonance of a drum.
….discuss:
✓ How and why rest and integration are fundamental to this work and can be a fundamental tool to support your wellbeing.
✓ And try healing protocols.
You will have tutor support when you create your beater and lace your drum.
On the day, you will have access to picture references to guide you through the process. You will also have a manual to help you refer back to what we discussed and the supportive drum protocols to guide you to work with your sacred drum.
What do you need to bring:
o A stick to make your beater. Take yourself off to the woods and look for your beater stick. You are looking for a ruler length, straight piece of wood, 1 finger in width. Make sure you cannot easily snap it. The piece needs to be sturdy.
o A washing up bowl to soak you hide and lace in.
o A large towel for the drum birthing process
o Scissors
o A pack of at least 15 washing line pegs,
o Anything that you feel guided to bring to make your working space sacred to you - such as crystals, flowers, flower essences etc.
