Equipment Needed:
You will enjoy the day so much more if you can bring your own frame drum (medicine or shaman drum) of any size, but if you’d like to wait until you learn more about drums before you buy one, I do have a small number of spare drums for use, so it’s not essential to bring your own drum.
We will have a small number of shaman drums available for use on the day, so if you don’t yet have your drum you can still complete this training.
As some of the drumming and energy work is conducted in a sacred grove in the nearby forest you will need to bring suitable warm and comfortable outdoor clothes and shoes along with a warm rain jacket just in case weather changes. Ground sheets are provided, you are recommended to bring a sleeping bag as it’s ideal for this outdoor forest work.
If you’d like to buy yourself a shaman drum, you can click on the link below to browse my favourites on Amazon, from professional drum-makers Remo. You’ll learn on the training why these are the best drums for outdoor work.
Pre-requisites:
This training is suitable for anyone with an existing energy healing qualification (including Reiki) or who is currently working towards their qualification, with a calling to discover more about working with the sacred drum and Celtic Forest Healing Wisdom for healing mind body and spirit.
