Drum Birthing is Part of Your Training too!

One of the unique elements of this programme is a full drum and beater birthing weekend, where you will create your own shamanic drum as a lifelong healing ally.

This is included within the training because working with your own drum is a central part of developing as a practitioner.

If you have already made a drum with me previously, the weekend still offers deeper learning around working with your drum in healing practice.

• Grow confidence in holding safe, ethical healing sessions

Participant Reflections (Testimonials)

As this is a new training programme, I don’t yet have testimonials specifically for Hollow Bone. However, here are a few reflections from participants on my other trainings and retreats:

Birthing my first drum was so much more than I expected. Dawn gently guided and held me through the process without pressure or rush, creating a deeply relaxing and nurturing space. The experience touched me on many levels – awakening my creativity, confidence, and inner strength. I realised afterwards how much energy had shifted within me. I left feeling happy, grateful, and truly transformed. Dawn is a wonderful guide – Andrea

 I would highly recommend this workshop with Dawn. She held a gentle and loving space throughout the drum birthing process, guiding me with compassion and allowing my creativity to emerge. The connection we built with our drum and beater felt deeply personal and sacred. It was a truly transformative experience – Regina

From the moment I arrived, Dawn held the space with warmth and wisdom. Her deep knowledge and gentle guidance made the whole process feel sacred. This wasn’t just about making a drum – it was a meaningful journey, beautifully held by someone who truly walks her path with heart. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it – Lynsey
