Join the Sacred Circle of Drum Keepers and Teachers

Step into a powerful new vocation as a ceremonial drum teacher and guide.

This 9-month apprenticeship invites you to deepen your relationship with the sacred drum and learn the art of leading others through their own drum alchemy journey.

Together, we become weavers of a vibrant drumming community, birthing sacred instruments and holding space for transformation, healing, and connection.

You will learn to send sacred drums out into the world with reverence, in co-creation with the Divine Feminine—anchoring frequencies for the New Earth and future generations.
