This beautiful weekend retreat is for you if:

*Are a doula and already working with women and would like to incorporate a red medicine drum into that work

*You wish to connect with yourself and to make your own authentic drum in a ceremonial way bringing your own personal medicine into your drum which will become a part of you

*You wish to be looked after for 2 and a bit days, nurtured all the way.. to go somewhere where you will not have to think about anything other than yourself and your process?

*You wish to immerse yourself into a retreat of healing, journeying, relaxation, connection to nature, laughter and support?

* You wish to spend a weekend held by the land and trees in some beautiful woodlands in Herefordshire

I provide you with all of the above and more.

My retreats incorporate ceremonial releasing, high vibrational healing, Shamanic Drum Healing & Journeying Work, meditations, voice work, channelled sound healing, Native North American Style Flute meditations... and of course, in all of this, making your own authentic 15" red medicine drum and drum stick.

I am Faye Bradbury and I have been working with Spirit since I was born both as a healing channel, at one with the earth (I am a qualified shamanic practitioner and sound therapy practitioner amongst other things) and as a medium, clairvoyant, empath etc etc. With years of experience, I will take you on a profound journey of exploration of your inner Worlds, of release and healing, of a deep connection to the Earth and the stars and weaving all of your magic into the making and birthing of your personal medicine drum. I bring compassion, laughter, deep insight and the ability to safely hold you in a loving space in order for you to let go and think only about doing your work for yourself. On this weekend you will be held and nurtured and encouraged to spread your wings and explore your needs. I aim to ensure you have the most beautiful experience and that you go away with hearts full of healing, love and laughter. ♥

BLOOD RED MEDICINE DRUM

A powerful vibration, the blood red medicine drum symbolises the flow of life, the moon time of women, birthing. It is about cyclical flow and release. The blood of life pulsing through our veins, arteries and capillaries. We will work with these aspects bringing our own medicine, our own healing and flow and birthing into our medicine drums ready to work with other women and those identifying as she or her. That could be through holding women circles or through healing or through dance etc. This weekend is a powerful acknowledgement of the divine feminine and creating space in which she can be celebrated.

WHERE IS IT BEING HELD

In beautiful woodlands near to Ledbury, Herefordshire, UK.  It will be a weekend of rustic charm, authentic connection to the earth as you bring your camping gear with you or share a bell tent and sleep in nature, held by the gentle breathing earth and the sound of owls and trees singing softly as the wind caresses their leaves. All meals are provided on the Saturday and Sunday. Friday night meal is bring and share. This is YOUR time to totally let go and be looked after, nurtured and held in a safe space.

CEREMONY, RELEASING, HEALING, JOURNEYING:

There will be a full on day on Saturday making your drums in ceremony and doing releasing, healing and Shamanic Reiki Drum Healing and Journey work, high vibrational healing, flute meditations and healing, Ancestral language if channelled and so forth. This is a day of opportunities to really connect to the Earth, to yourselves and to put your own healing and medicine and intent into your drums, making them an integral part of you, a part that moulds with you and your energies and your medicine. (You may find out more about the Shamanic Journeying work on my website: www.fayebradbury.com). The work we will do may bring tears, and therefore releases, it may bring clarity, it may bring peace, it may bring joy, it may unlock something inside of you... these journeys access a deep part of you. You will be supported at all times. The day will go on for as long as we go on for and there will be a light lunch, on tap tea, coffee, juices, water and dark chocolate, a communal evening meal and time together to continue our bonding and connection to the earth, ourselves, our guides and one another.

Sunday will be a day of having more Shamanic Drum Journeying, of meditations, of rebalancing, of stillness, of finishing off your drum rhythm sticks and then of joyful celebration of yourselves as we birth your drums (you may not be able to play them as they may still be drying) and sing, rattle, drum and celebrate our existence, leaving in the afternoon with your medicine drum, feeling lighter, connected, changed and happy. ♥ 🙂 Breakfast and lunch and quite often a meal before you leave is provided.

I work from the heart, putting everything I can in to these days, making it as special as each and every one of you are. So, a weekend full of, but not limited to, love, laughter, ceremony, celebration, release, healing, stillness, drum making, probably some tears, singing, rattling, drumming, new friendships and peace within. ♥
