About this event
From plant spirit connection to your own drum
Join us for a four-day shamanic immersion, weaving plant spirit healing, cacao, sound, trance drumming, voice activation, ritual, and drum building into one deeply transformative journey of connection and discovery.
What Awaits You
Over four days, you will explore the connection between nature, rhythm, energy, and spirit through a carefully designed journey guided by Lowland Shaman Peter de Haan.
The experience opens with a Buffalo Calf Women ritual, followed by a full day devoted to connecting and communicating with plant spirits. In the evening, ceremonial cacao and an immersive sound journey open the heart and create space for integration.
On Saturday, you will discover the drum as a powerful tool for healing, transformation, ritual, and inner journeying. Through rhythm, trance drumming, voice activation, and energetic awareness, you will learn to work with its deeper possibilities.
The journey culminates on Sunday, when you build your own shamanic drum by hand. During a ceremonial selection process, you will connect intuitively with the natural materials before transforming them into a personal instrument and spiritual companion.
This is not a plant medicine retreat. No psychoactive or mind-altering substances will be used.

What participants are saying...
"I have never had an experience like this class in my life and I can’t wait to do it again! I was a complete beginner and had no idea what to expect. Peter’s laid back style takes all the pressure off and lets you tune into your intuitive experience with the drum. Feeling the change in the drum circle as the participants naturally sync up is such an amazing experience. Learning to put intention into your drumming was much easier than I thought it would be. We ended class with a healing drum circle that carefully valued consent (asking participants whether they wanted supportive touch or not) and uplifted everyone involved."
