Embark on a healing sound journey through ancient realms of wisdom, immersing yourself in the hypnotic rhythms of the primordial drum. Experience a deep connection to the collective self, as the resonant beats awaken your senses and ignite fresh perspectives.
Following in the footsteps of our ancestors, we will experience the ancient tradition of drum journeying. This isn't just about what you'll hear, but how you'll feel, as you connect with the raw, primal rhythms that underscore all of life.
Discover the wisdom within you as you connect to our shared heritage and collective future on this journey into rhythm and sound.
This experience will echo long after the final beat has sounded, destined to leave a positive and lasting imprint on all that attend.
How does it work?
Drum journeying is a practice rooted in Shamanic wisdom, using different rhythms to transport you to a trance-like state. It’s a form of meditation and dreaming that helps to bring clarity and a higher sense of order to our personal and collective lives.
Modern science backs up this ancient practice. The drums can entrain slower brain waves, bringing about physical benefits like lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and a reduction in stress hormones.
Experience a shift in perspective, awareness, or a burst of creativity - the journey can open up all of these doors and more.
What to expect?
Set an intention for your journey, whether that's healing, guidance, or relaxation. We'll settle into the session with abstract spoken word to help guide you gently into your imagination. As you lie down and relax the drums will take over, taking you on an adventure deep within. When it's time to return, we'll bring you back to earth with the gentle sounds of other traditional instruments.

Profound. Powerful. Resonating rhythms deep beyond the physical.
Really interesting experience that left me feeling great! Venue was beautiful and the hosts were super warm and welcoming. Making it easy to relax into the meditative side of it (which I sometimes struggle with!). Would definitely return for another go.
Oh my gosh!!! I have been Primordial Drum: A Journey into Sound and Self, before. I love it I love it! It's my medicine.
The hosts even remember you, they are so welcoming and heart felt.
I have a lot going on.. and this is helping and supporting me so much.
A wonderful guided experience with wonderful hosts in a beautiful location.
What a lovely experience. Ruth and Brillo once again created an amazing atmosphere and fabulous sounds which totally immersed you into the experience and what a lovely gesture to provide cake and tea (which was delicious) at the end of their summer break celebration.
Can’t wait for the next one!
First time experience with Star shine and it was so much more than I expected. The drumming was very powerful and emotional and was followed by beautiful bell and other instruments evoking strong sense of safety (it reminded me of some times I must have felt as a young child being rocked!). The setting was very lovely and welcoming and I cannot wait for another experience :) One more thing to say that I truly forgot for those couple of hours of time and space, it was truly beautiful journey ❤️
Wonderful and beautiful location and hosts, Ruth and Brillo. Attentive and real as always. Thank you 🙏✨
Absolutely amazing ,
Not done something like this before and it was a really good experience, perfectly finished off with a lovely slice of vegan cheesecake 😄.
I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be booking again x
I totally loved this live surround sound & vibrations experience! Fabulous rhythms, sounds, pitches, tones, voices, flutes, chimes... Very special to simply be able to absorb it all without any effort. Definitely bring something comfy to lie on and lots of warm layers. Big thanks to Ruth & Brillo!
Extremely powerful workout for body & mind , exactly what the doctor ordered
Great Supportive facilitators helping me shift through stuck energetics. Felt renewed rejuvenated calming influence. Mount without is the perfect location for these perfectly pitched Drums to resonate. Would definitely recommend this extremely beneficial application of Sound. We need this stuff on prescription. Thankyou . I am considering trying out other services Ruth & Brillo offer at StarShineRoots
Once again we really enjoyed the session. It’s time for yourself and you set your own intention for your sound journey. The amazing sounds that Ruth and Brillo create fill you with amazing sensations and emotions. We will definitely be back.
Absolutely amazing!
Mario help me to find a car park because my parking app wasn't working, so Thank you Mario for your kindness! The location, I mean! Stunning! I never been to that church before and I was speechless. The drums, all the instruments and the host voice guide me in a incredible journey inside myself.. I really recommended!!
Beautiful setting, great vibe from hosts. I was surprised at how powerful it was. I really noticed the benefits afterwards and felt light and clear the following day. It was deeply healing and gave me just what I needed. Totally recommend and will be back!
Truly a special experience, thankyou.
It was a beautiful and cathartic evening, the hosts were amazing and the venue was gorgeous. It was my first sound bath/ drum experience and I left feeling mentally and physically at peace!!
I’ve been bragging to my friends about it but it really is something you need to experience to understand, as all I could describe the experience with was ‘amazing’
Thank you both :)
I was very new to the experience and didn’t know what to expect. I don’t consider myself a spiritual person but am interested in trying new experiences. I found this very enlightening and completely got lost myself in the drumming where I forgot where I was and felt like I really when somewhere. I would definitely do this experience again and recommend this to friends. I found it very relaxing, enlightening and can imagine it being a good healing process for someone suffering with ill health.
This was a great immersive experience. The organisers were welcoming, friendly and informative about how it all worked. The drumming was so impressive and like nothing I have experienced before. Would definitely recommend.
It was my first experience and a day later I’m still processing it and finding it hard to describe other than amazing 🫶 the hosts made me feel so comfortable and it’s one of those things you need to experience yourself to describe ! Thank you so much see you next month x
The venue felt really special and set the scene to relax and enjoy the sound experience which was very well led by the hosts. I had originally booked for a friend to come as well and was impressed with the flexibility and understanding shown when her plans changed. Certainly recommend.
Really enjoyed the experience I didn’t know what to expect. Clear guidance was given and I loved the intensity of the drumming and the other percussion instruments that were used. Thank you- loved it.
Excellent session, we felt very welcome and the host put us newcomers to the experience at ease. The journey itself was fantastic, well paced and engaging. We loved the venue, we hope to go along to many more events there.
Amazing experience.
I’m still feeling the benefits of it today and I’m sure this will continue.
Ruth and Brillo created a fabulous event. Thank you.
A magical experience. Ruth and Brillo were such lovely hosts and ran the session with such care and thoughtfulness.
What a wonderful evening and deeply relaxing. Ruth and her team add their own touch to the drums making it a very supportive experience. Highly recommend
It felt like there was a whole tribe in the cathedral. I felt strong and powerful. A wonderful venue, and the hosts made us all feel safe, allowing me to relax and give myself up to the drums.
A really special beautiful experience! Highly recommended!
Please arrive 5-10 mins early so we can start promptly. Likewise, be sure to turn your mobile phone off before getting settled. Make sure you have been to the toilet beforehand. There's nothing worse than a full bladder during a drum journey! Your body temperature will drop during the journey, so bring extra layers and a yoga mat for lying on the floor. A bottle of water is advised so you can stay hydrated. Please also bring a blanket/sleeping bag, and pillows for comfort.

"I mostly lived on a mountain on my own from my late teens, until my late 20’s. I learned a lot about the principles of life from nature and my deep dives into music and creativity. For a long time, I saw music and songwriting more as a coping mechanism. I didn't realise at the time that I was learning to heal personal trauma. Though healing is an ongoing thing, I now use what I've learned to support others."

Drumming, sound and movement have been incredibly healing for me and I love supporting people to delve into their inner worlds; to discover the wisdom that already exists within."
