Here, the crackle of the log burner meets the pulse of the drums, creating a circle where women can unwind, express, and be held in sacred sisterhood. No experience needed - just an open heart.
The hearth is where women have gathered to tend the flames of story, song, and belonging. In our busy modern lives, we crave this return to the primal, the intimate, the sacred.
What’s Included?
What to bring
Across cultures, the hearth was the heart of the home - a place where women gathered to work, grieve, celebrate, and pass down wisdom. By drumming here, we honour that lineage and tend new flames of connection for women today.

Really well held container to explore in, Ruth makes it easy to take up some space and try out new ways of being/relating for a beginner like me. Very grateful.
Lovely experience being with a group of lovely people. I got to try out my first ever drum which was incredible! Highly recommend this experience and I would do it again for sure!

“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."
