The Ceremonial Aspects of Drumming: An Exploration of a Lost Art

Class | Registration opens 11/12/2025 12:00 PM EDT

In this course, we will explore the ceremonial aspects of drumming, which can include shamanic practices that come from Indigenous places around the globe. We will share in drumming rituals that include invoking aspects of the divine feminine and goddesses of ancient times, and the priestesses that were the keepers of the drums and rituals in places like Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Malta and Crete going back 30,000 years. We will also collectively recreate the croning ceremony of the making of grandmothers to honor all women who are now in their croning years. There will be time spent with the three-foot mother drum in circle and in community.


Come to learn about these often-forgotten herstories about drumming and reawakening them in your body, mind and spirit. The course will be female-centric in nature, as we focus on the aspects of the divine feminine.
