Bookings now open for the annual DRUM CAMP......
https://www.zamama.love/drumming-events/
This is a return to an ancient knowing.
To sit in circle.
To craft with our hands and hearts.
To listen to the beat that has always lived inside us.
Together, we remember. Together, we rise as makers, keepers, and carriers of this medicine.
If you feel the call to create your own drum, this is a beautiful invitation to begin.
No previous experience is needed—just your curiosity, your heart, and a willingness to journey.
The Drum Has Many Names
Medicine Drum. Frame Drum. Spirit Drum. Shamanic Drum.
This sacred instrument belongs to many cultures – woven through time and tradition all across the Earth.
Long ago, it was women who first held the drum, who listened to the rhythms of nature and echoed the heartbeat of our Earth Mother. The drum was a bridge between the seen and unseen—a way to commune with Spirit, to mark sacred time, and to stay rooted in the cycles of life.
Today, the drum still calls to us. It’s not bound by gender or tradition.
Drumming is for everyone—women, men, and all who feel the pulse of life within them.
It reminds us who we are. It brings us back to the rhythm that connects us all.
Birthing Your Medicine Drum with Jillian
These gatherings are an invitation to step into ceremony and create something deeply personal—a Medicine Drum that becomes a mirror, a companion, and a sacred tool. Under Jillian’s nurturing guidance, you’ll enter a soulful process of making, remembering, and reconnecting with your creative life force.
This journey isn’t only about crafting a drum—it’s about uncovering how you bring things to life. You’ll reflect on your unique creative patterns: how you initiate, how you carry, and how you birth your visions, ideas, and offerings into the world. It’s a reclamation of your own inner wisdom as a powerful creator.
Throughout our time together, you’ll be introduced to the ancient practice of drum journeying—learning to listen beyond the physical and access the deep inner realms. You’ll be supported to connect with the spirit of the hide that you’ll be working with, and to meet the living essence of your drum, which will become an ally in your personal and spiritual life.
Jillian holds a grounded and sacred space—where ritual, intuition, and craft come together. She supports you to remember your natural rhythm and the quiet wisdom that lives inside you. In this space, we make from trust—not from striving. We remember that beauty isn’t perfection—it’s presence.
Every drum born in this way is unique. Each one carries the fingerprints of its maker, the story of its birth, and the spirit of its materials. The process itself becomes a ceremony of deep listening, surrender, and creation. These are not just drums—they are vessels of medicine, made with reverence and intention.
The transformation begins the moment you say yes. The medicine starts to move as soon as the seed of intention is planted. And like any meaningful relationship, your connection with your drum will deepen over time, teaching you, guiding you, and holding you.
Drum Birthing Camp with Jillian
13–14 September | Emerald Escape Campsite
As part of this sacred drum-making process, we gently explore the story of your own birth. The way we enter the world can offer powerful insight into how we move through life, how we begin things, and how we navigate creation. If you’re able to gather details about your birth—however simple or complex—they can support your experience during the weekend. But if you don’t have access to your birth story, that’s completely okay. We’ll work with what is present and available to you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll gather on the land at Emerald Escape Campsite on Saturday 13th September, arriving by 9:30am to begin the drum birthing journey at 10:30am.

*WHAT PEOPLE SAY*
Jillian is a brilliant facilitator.
I have known Jillian for ten years and I recently attended one of her Medicine drum workshops. Jillian held the workshop with grounded warmth, and she gave us the space and clarity we needed to be able to really put ourselves into the creative journey. The making of my drum was a truly transformational experience, I felt as though I broke old patterns and birthed a new part of myself during the process.
I have since fallen in love with my drum, when I play her I feel like I am connecting in with ancient earth wisdom. I highly recommend any workshop with Jillian and especially the Medicine Drum weekend……… Erin
Hi beautiful, just wanted to let you know how much I love my drum…we are so connected and I feel like I fall in love with her even more every time we come together. She has strengthened so many other connections also and opened my heart to so much💗 Thank you for such a wonderful experience….Laurel
I highly recommend this workshop….my recent drum birthing at Jillian’s last workshop was a very special and deeply personal experience…….. Caroline
Recently I attended Jillian’s drum making workshop. I didn’t really know what to expect, i had never made a drum before, what a journey took place for me though. Jillian greeted us with such warmth and held nurturing space, I fell into a deep connection with the process of birthing my drum, which in turn, has left me forever grateful that I now have such a healing and personal medicine in my beautiful drum.
Thankyou Jillian, such a gift you are facilitating these workshops……. Bec
