The Voice and the Drum are inherently intertwined. Centuries of ancestors have carried stories, songs & vibrations through their voices. Many of whom have also walked with the medicine of the drum. Weaving, creating & strengthening communal relationships to spirit, ancestors and the elements.

Rhythm is at the core of our being. Before we had ears to hear, we felt the beat of our mother’s heart pulsing through our being.

‘Voice of Your Drum’ has arrived to call you forth to reclaim or birth a pathway with these medicines. Both the voice and the drum. Individually & together.

This is a day of deep listening, vocal activation & building a relationship between the drum and your voice.

Please note: You MUST have a drum to bring with you to this event

This journey is a deepening of your own medicine. Offering you tangible tools to return home with to continue the journey of remembering.

A Voice Activation & Drum Experience with Joydah Mae, Aroha & Shaah

A drum carries its own unique life force. As do you. To journey with one another is to come into relationship, into unison with your frequencies.

This day will offer space to listen. A space to connect with your drum, attuning to its unique elements and bringing yourself into resonant harmony with your drum.

To know the voice of the drum, you must first know your own. Blending somatic tools, guided processes and vocal practices you will journey into a place of connection with your whole self, activating and bringing forth the unique vibration of your own voice and frequency first. Allowing you to access a greater awareness of the voice of your drum & how you can create together.

Drumming and singing is a powerful way to connect to your internal world. To ground, centre and realign yourself. And when you share this vibration with the world, nature responds. Reflecting both the internal and external depth of relationship between these two modes of expression.

We will process through blocks and resistance to allow your connection to source, ancestors, drum and voice to flow freely from you. We will nurture this connection, establishing a clear path.

May we bring forth the ancient medicine of drum and sound. Anchoring this ritual practice into our lives through connection, intention & creation. As we remember the ancient heartbeat of our mother.
