Sacred Red Drums

Awakening the Divine Feminine Heartbeat

"The first sound we ever hear, the one that shapes our very being, is the sound of our mother's heartbeat. It is our first drum, the rhythm that cradles us in the womb. For millennia, the drum has been sacred to women because it mirrors the pulse of life itself, connecting us to the rhythms of the Earth, the cycles of nature, and the deep wisdom of the Divine Feminine." -

Red Drum Creation Ceremony:

Awakening the Sacred Feminine Heartbeat

IInspired by Layne Redmond’s groundbreaking work uncovering women’s ancient role as sacred drummers, this day retreat is a powerful reclamation of rhythm, ritual, and remembrance. For millennia, women in sacred circles used the frame drum—not as entertainment, but as a divine tool for healing and invoking life’s cycles.

Across ancient cultures, the drum was the Earth’s heartbeat, accompanying rites of passage and honoring seasonal shifts. In this ceremony, the Red Drum becomes a mirror of the wild feminine wisdom we carry in our bones. When we drum, we remember, restore, and awaken the Sacred Feminine within and among us.

During the Red Drum Making Ceremony, you’ll craft your own 16" frame drum—hand-dyed to symbolize menstrual wisdom, ancestral memory, and life’s heartbeat. This drum will be your sacred companion, infused with prayers and blessings.

Through intention, ritual, movement, and storytelling, you’ll connect deeply with the lineage of drumming women and reclaim rhythm as your birthright. Whether new to drumming or growing your practice, this ceremony invites you to awaken the sacred feminine heartbeat inside you. No experience necessary.

This version keeps the core message clear and evocative with fewer words.

Testimonials

Let Others Inspire You.

Jamie has such a special gift of creating a safe space in the group. It allowed me to really be me and to be able to dig into what I needed to do on this journey. And I felt safe to share it with others in the group. Truly special and changed how I walk in the world.

The program far exceeded my expectations, I now will always remember you. You gave me
a place to talk of magic, mysteries, of ancient knowing’s, of raw truths and trauma and
simply holding space, reflecting back to us what you see, we were all alchemized…what
more is there to say. As we have spoken, this has to be experienced, for words cannot
describe it adequately.
