Sacred Drum Journey: Return to Rhythm

Settle in for an evening of deep relaxation as you travel with the healing rhythms of the sacred drum in this in-person sound healing session at The College of Psychic Studies.

Sound healing uses vibration, rhythm and frequency to support deep relaxation, rejuvenation and energetic balance. As the new year begins, this sacred drum session invites you to leave the resolutions behind, pause, reset your internal clock and align with the slow, steady rhythms of nature. As the vibrations and frequencies of sound envelop you, your body can return to its natural rhythm, leaving you grounded, peaceful and restored.

What to expect

Relax into the cosy space that Heather has lovingly prepared for you. Lie back, let go and immerse yourself in a curated soundscape of drumming and gentle chanting, designed to harmonise your energy, melt away tension and uplift your spirit. Guided by Heather's intuition, each session unfolds organically, often weaving in gentle meditation and intention setting, so every journey is unique to you. The evening closes with a cup of herbal tea to help you ground your experience before heading home.

Meet your tutor, Heather McDonald

With over 20 years in cancer care and many more on the spiritual path, Heather McDonald's travels have taken her on journeys of self-discovery and healing across the world – from 26 days of silent Vipassana meditation in a Buddhist temple in Northern Thailand, to sitting with shamans in the jungles of Peru, to receiving her first sacred drum on her travels in Africa. She has incorporated drumming into her own meditation and holistic practice ever since, and now offers therapeutic sacred drum sessions for individuals and groups. A College of Psychic Studies alumna trained under Gerrie March, registered healer, ordained interfaith minister and founder of Sacred Crossings – supporting people approaching end of life – Heather brings a rare depth of lived experience, spiritual wisdom and compassionate care to this evening of sound healing.

Previous participants say:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the session and learnt a lot. Thank you Heather."

"This was my first attendance at a drumming event - very good."

"Five stars across the board!"

"I enjoyed the variety of instruments used by Heather McDonald. Loved her calming energy."

"Heather has such a gentleness about her but also a tremendous strength. She seems to work from instinct but with a deep knowledge about her chosen path."

"I felt completely safe to follow where the drums (etc) led me as I knew Heather was aware of me as I travelled. Was invigorating and relaxing at the same time and probably led to some interesting dreams that night!"
