Women’s Sacred Drum Circle, Colchester. 

Celebrating Yule

Date: Sunday 20th December, 2026
Time: 16.15 – 18.15
Location: The Tree Room, Colchester, Essex. 
Investment: £15.00 per person

Join us in sacred sisterhood as we gather in the deep, dark embrace of Yule and the Winter Solstice – the longest night, the still point of winter and one of the most ancient thresholds in the turning of the Wheel.

This is the season of darkness.
The earth lies quiet. The trees stand bare. Life has retreated deep beneath the soil. And for one sacred moment, the sun appears to stand still.
Here, in the darkness, we gather.
Not to rush toward the light, but to honour the dark as our ancestors once did, as a place of rest, mystery, magick, and becoming. A fertile darkness where the old can be laid down and the first seeds of what is yet to come can quietly begin to stir.
We will gather around the flame, call in the elements and awaken the ancient rhythm of the drum. Earth beneath us. Air within our breath. Fire illuminating the darkness. Water carrying the wisdom of our deepest inner world.

Together, we’ll call upon Arianrhod, Goddess of the Silver Wheel,  keeper of the stars, cycles, fate and the great mysteries of death and rebirth.
Beneath her star-filled sky, she reminds us that the Wheel is always turning. That endings become beginnings. Darkness gives birth to light. And even when we cannot yet see the path ahead, something new is already being woven.
We will journey with her into the darkness, surrendering what has reached its ending and listening for the quiet whispers of what wishes to be born.

Through ritual, sacred drumming, chanting, breath, fire and sisterhood, we will honour the longest night, tend the flame within and welcome the rebirth of the Sun.

Come gather in the darkness.
Come sit beside the fire.
Come drum beneath the Silver Wheel.
The light is returning.

Sacred Drum Circle. 

In our Sacred Drum Circles, we unite in a circle, a symbol of wholeness and unity. The drum, one of the oldest instruments known to humanity, guides us on a journey of self-expression and connection. Through the steady beat of the drum, we enter a meditative and healing space where each woman is honoured and heard.

We hold these circles with deep reverence for the ancient wisdom passed down by our ancestors, creating a sacred container that allows for growth, empowerment, and healing.

At the heart of our drum circles is the powerful energy of sisterhood. In this space, we are committed to uplifting, supporting, and empowering one another. Through laughter, shared experiences, and the rhythm of the drums, we create bonds that transcend the everyday and help each woman feel seen, valued, and supported.

No previous drumming experience is needed; whether you are new to drumming or a seasoned drummer, every woman is welcome. We drum to heal ourselves, to empower our spirits, and to remind one another of the strength and beauty we all carry.

Please bring your own drum or musical instrument, I will have spares if you do not own one.

The Power of the Drum

Drumming has long been used in sacred and healing rituals across cultures. The drumbeat mirrors the heartbeat of the Earth, connecting us to the rhythms of nature and the universe. In this practice, you will feel the transformative power of sound, allowing you to shift into a deeper state of awareness, healing, and connection.

Join Our Circle

If you are seeking a space to reconnect with yourself, to find community, and to experience the ancient art of drumming, we invite you to join our sacred drum circles. Here, you will find a warm and welcoming sisterhood – a place where women come together to heal, laugh, and support one another.

Let the beat of the drum remind you of your power, your strength, and your connection to the sacred.
