A drum is a sacred tool any women can learn to use and add to her medicine basket. In ancient times, it was women who were drummers - drumming to heal, bless, celebrate and initiate! We know that drums are found throughout the entire world and are a cultural universal that all of our ancestors would have used at one time. For this reason, each one of us can develop our own unique relationship with the drum - one that will evolve and be shaped over time as you continue to pick it up and deepen your practice. Playing your drum in circle can be a simple but powerful way to guide journeys, meditations, or a grounding, without requiring much skill.

In this 2 part video teaching - originally developed for the Red Thread Guide Program - Shiloh Sophia will introduce you to the drum, and the rhythm that is inherent within you. She will speak of her own relationship to the drum and how it became a deeply important part of her personal practice and space holding. She will lead you on a journey to claim your drum as your own. To connect with it as an extension of your body and a sacred tool of women who call circle. In the Intentional Creativity painting process you will be guided to access the symbols and images that wanted to come forth and be painted on your drums. Those that are connected to the medicine or truth that wants to be lived into right now on your journey. We hope this will support you in receiving further affirmation of your unique and beautiful personal medicines as you step into the next level of leadership as an Intentional Creativity Teacher.

DRUM + MATERIALS: If you have a drum already, use what you have. If you are purchasing, Remo brand drums are a good choice - we recommend the mid range - over 12 inches. Lavender teaches the Frame Drum (link for framedrum 14in), pencil, paint, assorted smaller brushes.

We are excited to share this Intuitive Drumsong teaching from one of Shiloh Sophia’s dearest friends and collaborators, Lavender Grace Cinnamon. Lavender has regularly brought her powerful song and drum medicine to the Intentional Creativity trainings.

For many women, the first time you hold a drum in your hands or hear your voice returning in your own ears from its resonant center, something visceral and powerful shifts within. It can feel like an ancient connection. A call home. A sovereign happening. We encourage you to create sacred time and space to connect with Lavender’s teaching. Find a quiet place where you feel safe to play your drum and practice using your voice. Frame drumming is an ancient art of women and is quite powerful even in its simplest forms. Consider using your drum in your circles to open, guide a journey, or close the container. It is amazing how deeply women respond to the sound of the drum!
