Stability, love, gratitude and new friends

I just wanted to say thank you! The best decision I ever made was to do the Sacred Drumming Training. The medicine wheel and the drumming brought stability, love, gratitude and new friends into my life.
Especially now I realize how strong this medicine is and I can feel that I can help mother Earth and others by playing my drum and saying my daily prayers with my drum.
I don‘t feel lonely but well connected.
Singing also came into my life and I enjoy a lot your music and I love to sing the Song for the great Mother Renata taught us at the last Goddess Retreat as well as the Irish Blessing which is just heart touching and giving comfort.
I‘m so grateful and I want to say thank you from deep within my heart.

Inspirational teachers, changing lives for the better

You both have been such inspirational teachers and have changed many many peoples’ lives for the better, including mine.

~ Susan C.

Profound support, holding and nourishing

I would firstly love to express my gratitude for this community and course, the level of support, holding and nourishing has been profound. The drum and rattle have been amazing tools in integrating the brain injury and neurological disorder I obtained, this is definitely something I’d like to explore further.

Exploring the sounds of my drum and deepening the work with her

My drum is now fully awake and she is amazing! I am enjoying opening the medicine wheel with her in the morning and exploring her sounds and of course deepening my work with her on this course. It was an amazing weekend and I look forward to connecting again with everyone at our Zoom sessions.

~ Dr. Roz Gibbs

Beautiful Healing

I loved receiving and thoroughly enjoyed delivering distant drum healing. It was beautiful. I really feel different today. Thank you for gently pushing me, guiding me to do what deep down I can trust.

Why this course?

Drumming is as fundamental a form of human expression as speaking, and likely emerged long before humans ever developed the capability of using vocal organs as instruments of communication. Drum is regarded as one of the oldest instruments in the history of humanity and its power and use for healing are universal, wide ranging and all embracing. Drum therapy and group drumming have been proven to help reduce stress, increase the body’s own healing and wellbeing responses, form and strengthen bonds beetween individuals and create a sense of oneness with one another and the universe – a feeling that so many people crave in a world of isolation and loneliness. It is said that the physical and spiritual health benefits of drumming are as old as time itself.

Our  training course aims at providing practitioners with the understanding, skills and confidence to use drum and rattle for personal growth and transformation as well as helping others in regaining their balance and healing their relationships, home and environment. Information and wisdom from other cultures are imparted to reinforce studies on the beneficial use of the drum in healing.

At present the School of Sacred Drumming is the only teaching college offering the authentic Sacred Drumming Practitioner Course as developed by Steven & Renata Ash.
The course is taught by Steven Ash together with Renata Ash, Ally Gerrish and Debbie Sissman.

Our Sacred Drumming Practitioner Diploma Course is widely regarded as the gold standard of drum healing training. It offers a balanced mix of shamanic teachings together with modern science and proven sound healing techniques and leaves room for the students to go deeper with the help of their designated tutor.

Completion of this training will give students the information, knowledge, tools, practice and confidence required to become a qualified Drum Healing Practitioner.

The course is certified by the School of Sacred Drumming and ratified by the CMA (Complementary Medical Association).

Successfully qualified candidates are awarded a PRACTITIONER DIPLOMA IN SOUND HEALING WITH THE DRUM and can then apply for training to become a certified tutor with the School of Sacred Drumming.
