Spirit Drum Therapy Practitioner Training
Share the Healing Spirit of the Drum
Would you like to integrate the Healing Resonance of the Spirit Drum and Rattle into your Healing Practice?
Do you already appreciate the healing capacity of the Spirit Drum and Rattle, and would like to feel confidant sharing it with your clients?
​
The Spirit Drum offers us many different ways to work with her healing resonance, ways that can offer our clients the ability to drop in more fully, clear out unwanted energies and blockages, access wisdom and guidance and have complete resonance shifts that can completely alter their lives.
​
On my journey with the drum for over 22 years, the drum has shown me that it's capacity to facilitate healing, connection and awakening to our own true nature, is only limited to our own imaginations and willingness to explore and listen deeply to what the drum has to teach us.
Along the way I have learnt a whole lot of what not to do, and how to work with this powerful tool in a safe and connected way, to facilitate healing, shifts and to hold a safe and grounded container for the client to be able to heal and return to themselves.
​
The Spirit Drum and Rattle are Energy Medicine Tools, that when worked with in a conscious and grounded way, can take your offerings to a whole new level.

" I have just spent the most wonderful weekend making a Medicine Drum with Tamaryn. She is a master drum maker, and a very patient and nurturing teacher. I love the venue, the nourishing food, the beautiful participants, and the journey of creating my drum - from choosing my hide and hoop, stringing and weaving, and then the awakening ceremony. I felt like I was in safe hands the whole time and I couldn't be happier with my creation. Thank you Tamaryn - Can't wait to do it again."

Alexandra Sköld, Sydney
“I had waited quite a while for the right drum making event, and as soon as I got there, I understood I was in the right place. This was so much more than just creating medicine instruments. Tamaryn is a very skilled teacher, with so much wisdom. The entire weekend felt like a sacred ceremony, a journey of self-discovery and healing. I found myself delving into parts of myself and my journey that were ready to be healed as I was birthing my drum and rattle. It was a weekend filled with laughter, tears, community, creativity, and profound moments of connection. As I was creating my drum and rattle, I felt deeply connected to the land, spirit, and my own innate power. I am forever grateful for the experience and the healing and magic my instruments have brought to me since. If you have been looking for a drum making event, this is it”

Leith James
Australian Sound Healers Associatio
"It's with genuine appreciation that we commend Tamaryn from Spirit Drum for her remarkable dedication and commitment. The depth of knowledge and wisdom she brought to our Sound Therapy training, especially for the drumming therapy module, was invaluable. Thanks to her, our student have been equipped with practical insights and techniques that will undoubtedly empower them to confidently serve the public in the future.
​
What stood out the most was her adeptness in teaching the students how to effectively use the drum in both one-on-one sessions and group settings, not to mention her integration of voice techniques. We are eagerly anticipating her return for our next student intake. Thank you Tamaryn for making a lasting impact."
