Shamanic drumming, as distinguished from other types of drumming, usually refers to the use of sustained, repetitive drumming rhythms. Shamanic drumming uses a repetitive rhythm that begins slowly and then gradually builds in intensity to a tempo of three to seven beats per second. The ascending tempo will induce light to deep trance states and facilitate the shamanic techniques of journeying, shapeshifting, and divination. Ever since our ancestors beat on hollowed-out logs and stretched animal skins over wooden hoops, these instruments have been a major part of cultures. From the Sami to the Siberian shamans, the drumbeat has led us into song, dance, and journeys through the worlds.

 

Drumming is beneficial for:

  • Self-expression

  • Deeper self-awareness

  • Your health

  • Spiritual growth and insight

  • Bringing the community together

  • Bringing deep joy to your heart

​

Come and reclaim the lost power of your voice through the connection with Nature and the drum. Allow yourself to heal the broken pieces of your being, and awaken your awareness of the beauty around you and within you. Enjoy the sacred time with the community by supporting one another in these challenging times. This is the time to meet your spirit guides and ancestors. This is the time to grow your roots deep into the Earth, so that you may stand strong and find courage and love in your heart to move forward in life.​
