Drum Birthing Retreat
A DRUM MAKING RETREAT

Drum Birthing Retreat

Three days on the land to birth your own medicine drum and go deeper into its medicine.

16 TO 18 APRIL 2027 • DARKINJUNG COUNTRY, NSW

GOING DEEPER WITH THE DRUM

More Than Birthing A Drum

This retreat is about going deeper with the drum. Over the weekend you will birth your own medicine drum, rattle and beater, then learn to connect with your drum in all the ways I know how.

We will explore regulation techniques, playing your drum at home, drum healing techniques, shamanic drum journeys and medicine drum songs.

There is time to go deeper into your birth story and your rites of passage stories, and more time to be creative with your drum, rattle and beater.

The Land That Holds Us

Darkinjung Country

Nestled in quiet bushland 2hr NE of Sydney, New South Wales, this retreat space invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and land fully in nature. Located around two hours from Sydney and about one hour inland from the Central Coast, the property is surrounded by open sky, native trees and the stillness of the Australian bush.

This is a special place for us. It is where we learned from our mentor, Gypsy Willow Artemis, and where many ceremonies have been held over the years. The land holds a deeply sacred energy and offers a beautiful container for this work to unfold.

At the heart of the property is the temple yurt, where most of the retreat will take place around the central altar and fireplace. A number of beds are available in shared rooms of 3-4 as well as comfy mattresses for those who wish to sleep in the temple. There is also some flat ground for those who wish to sleep in their vehicle.

The property is intentionally simple and off-grid, running on rainwater tanks and eco-toilets. Meals will be shared vegetarian meals and it is advised to bring extra snacks if you need some extra sustenance.

There is also an outdoor fire which will run every night as weather permits, a swimming pool for the warmer months or the brave and surrounding bushland for short walks in nature.

We’ve intentionally chosen a simple, nature-based venue rather than luxury accommodation so we can keep the retreat accessible and focus on what truly matters, the depth of the experience.

For many, this simplicity becomes part of the retreat itself: an opportunity to slow down, connect with the land and share in the rhythm of communal retreat life.

How do I book and pay?
Email rootsoftheearthhealing@gmail.com or call 0418 429 676. We send an invoice for a 50% deposit to secure your place. Afterpay is available, or ask us about a weekly payment plan.
🌙
What is the cancellation policy?
There are no refunds. This honours the energy, preparation and limited spaces of each retreat, and your booking could be the one that allows it to go ahead. These gatherings are intimate and carefully prepared: a late cancellation affects the container that has already begun to form, and the facilitators who rely on confirmed bookings to prepare.
