For 5000 years,
people (especially priestesses and wise women) have been playing the Mesopotamian frame drum ... connecting hand and body with the instrument to activate its cosmic frequencies and consciousness. This beautiful practice is available to anyone today who wants to re-member the lunar womb wisdom of our Mesopotamian, Israelite and Jewish ancestresses.
Let's explore the basics of hand-playing the frame drum so you can use it in your own practice.
This is not performing art. It is reforming art -- a practice that has the potential to alter us at the vibrational level, from the inside out.
And in this simple, accessible two-part workshop, I will walk you through all the basic strokes, plus simple flourishes (to make playing fun) and actual desert rhythms you can use on yourself right away as shamanic medicine.
In this training you will:
- Experience almost four hours of frame drum instruction with step-by-step methodology that builds on itself.
- Experiment with basic rhythms yourself (both by drumming them on your body and on the frame drum itself)
- Feel connected to priestess history through the drum and understand how it works at the vibrational level
- Learn frame drum meditation techniques you can use in your spiritual practice or "temple time" immediately
- Begin a journey that will last a lifetime!
"I have been practicing and using my drum almost every night! I use your drum meditation ... and practice the rhythms. The grounding I get from using it is AMAZING!!!

Move heavy emotions out of the physical body
Unaddressed, or suppressed, our emotions go straight into our tissues and fester, contributing to physical dis-ease in all its forms. Along with your other wellness practices and healthcare, drumming helps you alter your body at the cellular level and move pain out (literally).
Access wisdom that awaits in your subconscious
When we chant, we become deeply present and are more able to receive cosmic information without subconsciously resisting or blocking it within ourselves. (This is especially true because of the hand-drum connection and hand-eye coordination we develop.)
Connect with your early priestess mothers
Chant is not dogmatic and does not align us with a particular "doctrine." This work connects us directly to the available consciousness and wisdom stream of women in our biblical Hebrew, mystical Jewish or esoteric Christian lineage(s). Their deep love and community await you!
