The Primordial Drum: A Journey into Sound and Self

1 hr 30 mins
(29)

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.

Brillo

Brillo is a songwriter, composer, and teacher.

"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."

Ruth is a qualified sound therapist and writer.

“After suffering from chronic pain for 13 years beforehand, my drum unintentionally became the antidote to my pain. An accidental gong bath, revealed to me that sound was my calling. 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."
