The Joy of drumming...
Since the first day I was introduced to the drum more than 30 years ago now, the drum has never ceased to bring me joy and both calm and uplift my spirit - as you can see in this moment captured by Shell Wollemi Yoga
This last Sunday not only did I have the honour of holding a drum-making circle with four magical and inspiring women whose drums will soon be singing, but today I sat with Shell sharing ideas for a collaborative Seasonal drumming/sound healing circle at her beautiful Yoga and Wellbeing Studio here in Portland.
Perhaps the first one will be offered in January to welcome in the New Year 2026?
The hand-held hoop drum is such an exquisite and easeful instrument for centering, clearing, energy harmonising and so much more.
I know I am not alone when I share that playing the drum can facilitate both laughter and tears, inner stillness and dreaming, renewed clarity and joyful calm.
And what I find almost the greatest gift is that when we drum we can reconnect with our most natural rhythm - the rhythm of Mother Earth.
