“Drum sound rises on the air, it’s throb, my heart. A voice inside the beat says, “I know you’re tired, but come. This is the way.” ~ Rumi

Since ancient times, our ancestors use the drum for healing rituals, and ceremonies. The rhythms of the drum mimics our heart beat and entrains our brain into an altered state of consciousness. The act of gathering and drumming in circles is beneficial for a sense of belonging to self and One with the community.

If you have always wanted to try drumming but had a fear or a belief that you have no rhythms within you. Come join us to break that belief system, and empower yourself through the rhythms that will flow through your heart to your hands and into the drums.

In this masterclass series, you will learn a full drum song composition composed by my teacher Marla Leigh, “Pearls of Wisdom” over 2 weeks. You will be able to play the full drum composition by the end of this masterclass series, and become adapt at drum improvisation and create your own drum rhythms and drum compositions by yourself.

Beginners are most welcome. Drums are provided. Bring your presence and open heart to receive the gift of rhythms in this ancient art of frame drumming.

About Your Host:

Joey has been described as a powerful sound medicine woman who has led many transformative sound healing ceremonies from Singapore to New Zealand. Deeply grounded in her sound healing practices, with reverence for Shamanic journeys, and the power of sound vibrations and frequencies, she curates multi-instrumental sound journeys cocooning clients into states of bliss, clarity, purpose, peace and deep healing. A certified Moonologer, she works closely with the lunar energies to facilitate Full Moon and New Moon manifestation ceremonies. Joey communes with nature through Native American Flute music and the ancient art of frame drumming, teaching students to use these sacred sound instruments to connect back within themselves, to their hearts and souls, with focus on self-empowerment through rhythms and self-healing through soul songs from the flutes. Joey gently guides you back into your own unique vibrational frequency through somatic vocal healing, allowing you to embrace your own unique voice as your most important healing instrument that you carry within yourself, rewriting any of your old beliefs and stories about your own voice. Joey is known to possess the ability to share spiritual teachings in a very grounded way that one can easily understand and embody. She is happy to be called a witch, but is definitely not your woo woo fairy sound mother. She embodies sound healing through the physics of sound vibrations, backed by experiential research. Through her learnings and merging modalities, she leads you into a healing journey of your own, with the sounds she weaves in the spaces she holds. A devotee to mantra chanting, she teaches mantras as a daily meditative practice to shift inner consciousness and embody the qualities of the Divine through Kirtan. Joey is also the guardian of her therapy animals that live on her land in Koru, Taranaki, along with the enchanting forest and healing river that runs through her property.
