Weekend Two 22nd - 24th November 2024
Taking only a small group of two or four, we will cover all you need to know to teach this amazing craft. The course will be held over two weekends, starting at midday Friday each weekend and finishing on the Sunday evening at no fixed time due to the nature of the course.
Covering the practicalities of drum birthing, ceremony and holding space through to thinking on your feet in the moment when things go wrong. We will help build your confidence ahead of anything that may happen as well as covering the behind-the-scenes practicalities such as finding reputable suppliers.
Throughout the weekends there will be practical tests to help you demonstrate what you have learnt.
By the end of the course, you will have birthed four drums – a 10” Deer, 12” Horse, 14” Horse and a 16” Deer – all on Ash hoops, along with a beater.
Upon completing the course, each participant will receive an accredited certificate where full attendance and competence has been reached.
Requirements
We ask that you have birthed at least three drums, one with us at Caer Corhrain, and at least another two with ourselves or another drum maker or by yourself. This is to ensure you have a basic knowledge of how to birth a drum.
You know and have experience of shamanic journeying, as this is an important aspect of the drum birthing process. If you don't have this experience then there may be an opportunity to learn it with us prior to doing the course.
As part of the application, please email us with details of your experience with birthing drums, and shamanic journeying, whether you have completed the Shamanic Pathways course with us or not and why you would like to take part as well as any other relevant experience. We would also ask you to send photos of drums that you have birthed yourself.
There is a maximum of four places available and we will only be able to run the course with either two or
