Holonic Drum Healing Retreats; a connection to the original heartbeat of the Universe. A new shamanic drumming experience.

Last year, myself and a group that I was teaching on my Healing Wisdom of The Drum course, had an incredible experience following a shamanic journey that we were guided to take.
What we saw and felt, each in our own way, was how the heartbeat of the shamanic drum, or spirit drum, is directly connected to the original heartbeat of creation. We have always understood how shamanic drums, and drumming connects us to the rhythms of life, and to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. I have also always felt a deep connection when drumming to the cosmos, to all that is. We are Spirit and we are connecting with Spirit in all its various manifestations when we drum.
However, this new information took us all more deeply into an understanding of how the first vibration, was the vibration of the drum. Not a beat, but a soundless vibration. Making shamanic drums, directly connected to the creation of the universe. I experienced a sacred geometry like form of intelligence entering me.
As this information came in, each of us experienced a very powerful expansion of our own consciousness, in our own way. For me, when I experience these big energetic shifts it is as if I am being physically expanded as energy enters my field, then my body, then out again, and as it flows out it feels like I am being re-formed. It could be described that 'blocks' in my energy body are dismantled, making way for new information to come in. Information comes in many ways, in this case it was vibrational coding and visuals.
Following this opening of a portal to new intelligence and understanding, we all continued to receive more information. For myself and my friend Rachel Lane, of The Spirit Centre, we felt a strong urgency that we were being called to action.
From this space The Holonic Drums were formed. We were given very clear guidance that we were to birth 10 shamanic drums, and 2 teacher drums (one for me, one for Rachel) and that these drums were wanting to come in, to help humanity at this time.
Rachel and I have had many times in our lives when we have been given information from Spirit to work with, and there are many wonderful Starseed's all over the world doing incredible work to help shift and support us and Mother Earth at this time of evolving consciousness. I see these little missions as incredible opportunities to 'do our work' but also to evolve our own consciousness; to deepen our understanding of ourselves as well as contributing to assisting whatever energies need to come in, or shifts that need to happen.
So, over time I have come to hold Trust and Faith in my heart, acknowledge the greater wisdom of Spirit, holding the knowledge that this information can be metaphorically provided to us, so we understand, 'something' is asking to happen or needs to happen, we do our bit of shifting, healing, anchoring, whatever we need to do, and then let it go.
Rachel asked Spirit what do we call this new modality that you have shown us to work with, and after a very restless nights sleep with many words being offered, 'they' settled on Holonic. My reaction (after OMG, WOW etc) was.....sounds a bit too close to colonic, and what the hell does it mean!
Holonic: a system or entity that is both a self-contained whole and part of a larger system. Something that is simultaneously independent and integrated. We may be individual drum souls, but we are simultaneously part of the collective of 10 drums. We are meant to work together, not used separately.
Next question then was....why?
The answer is, because when they are played together they call in what is called The Holonic Vibration, which is the unifying foundational energy from the very birth of creation; the original heartbeat of the Universe.
WOW. Okay, so are we going to take this on? Hell YES!
So after birthing the 12 shamanic drums, we have held a few evening group sessions and have experienced the deeply profound power of The Holonic Vibration. I'm not especially visual with the information I receive, I'm more feeling and intuitive when I work, which then translates into something I can verbalize. However, I was struggling to input all the data that came though! Especially the first evening, the first time of hearing the drums sing....I've never heard anything like it in my life.
The vibration builds as we flow through each of the rounds of drumming. By the end when The Holonic Vibration was at its peak, the floor was vibrating, the walls were humming, the room was filled with Spirit as if everyone had turned up to see. We heard monks chanting, and many other kinds of ancestral song.
In the following days and weeks, we had incredible feedback. Many had been deeply moved, experienced energetic shifts, one lady told us she had been pain free for days for the first time in many years, others were still integrating what had taken place.
Sometimes there just are not the words for these kind of experiences. We are limited as humans in what we can comprehend with these multi-dimensional universal consciousness moments! And I don't think we are supposed to. It is better to embody, and let go of the human desire for things to make sense or to be categorized in some way, even if it is just so we can have the pleasure of sharing it with others. To pass on the joy and expansion. If we try to hard, in my experience we limit it; stop its flow somehow. It is better to just be it.
Rachel and I are now offering Holonic Drum Healing Day Retreats to offer up the opportunity for these incredible shamanic drums to do what they have come here to do, We have curated what we know will be days fully immersed in a wonderful new experience working with Spirit Drums. Experiencing The Holonic Vibration.
We will come together in an incredible setting; connect as a group, open and close space together, be in ceremony, journey, talk, share, and of course drum together!
Our venue is Hill Holt Wood, Lincolnshire, a stunning mature woodland within which a large round hall with a spiraling apex roof has been built using materials from the land on which it stands.
When we drum, we drum 3 rounds for healing, one for your personal healing, one as a group healing, and one where we offer out the vibration as an invitation for all humanity. I just love the symbolism of the number three, the fact that in the nature of Holonic's we are work with the understanding that we are individual units but we are also all part of an integrated whole, a collective, a human race, all connected. Together we are all Spirit, all part of collective consciousness. All one.
