This 9-Month, 120-hour in-person and online multi-cultural training course is designed to give participants a hands-on approach to facilitating sound healing sessions and using sound for personal enrichment. By bridging the fields of sacred music, energy work, and healing traditions, participants will strengthen their capacity as sound workers and will walk away with the skills and knowledge to be able to incorporate sound into healing sessions and meditative environments.

Come and harmonize with your ancestors, heal old relationships and make peace with the ones that came before us. Our annual Day of the Ancestors ceremony is an opportunity to forget, forgive, and let go.  Together we will build a beautiful flower mandala altar celebrating those that came before us, and we will pray with the sacred medicine of cacao and allow the transcendent music of Dream Seed and the Golden Drum community to carry us into our hearts.

Join us to take a moment to honor your growth, soften into your becoming, and be present the transformations you may be moving through with an astrological conversation, sound bath and guided meditation, integration circle and more.

Join Tania for a unique opportunity to experience these traditional healing practices and to learn directly from a keeper of the living tradition from the Sapara Nation.

Dream Seed is a sound healing ensemble created by members of Golden Drum, Sacred Arts Research Foundation, and Didge Project. Shamanic chanting, mantras, overtone singing, Native American songs, indigenous music, didgeridoos, crystal singing bowls, bells, gongs, harmoniums, tuning forks and other overtone-emitting instruments are used to create an environment conducive to deep relaxation and inward investigation. 

The drum is a sacred instrument that speaks a universal language. Its rhythmic heartbeat is at the center of ceremonies held by people all over the world. The shamanic drum is used to communicate with the Spirit and to connect our hearts with the heartbeat of the Earth. It is a powerful medicine that heals the body, heart, mind, and spirit. In this workshop, we will come together in a sacred space to create our own ceremonial hand drum and learn a hand drum-tying technique. 

Join us to sing, pray and dance with the sacred plant teacher, cacao as we open the celebration of our 15 year anniversary!

This November 14th and 15th we celebrate 15 years since the Golden Drum first opened its doors to New York. Born from a community vision that was guided by our elder, Maestro Manuel Rufino, we gathered collectively to create an oasis where indigenous elders and their wisdom can unite together.

As part of Golden Drum’s 15-Year Anniversary, Prayer Carriers is deeply honored to welcome and present esteemed elders from the Haudenosaunee and Lakota traditions. These wisdom keepers will share sacred stories, ancestral experiences, and the ceremonial practices their traditions use to honor the cycles of life.

Together we will cultivate the consciousness of joy, love, gratitude, dignity and peace in ourselves to radiate throughout the world.

This moon invites us to reflect upon and recommit to our spiritual learning. This event is an opportunity to practice that learning and orient ourselves towards higher levels of communication with the divine and spiritual aspects of life.

You are lovingly invited to gather in a sacred circle on the day of 8 Ajmak, a potent moment to honor the spirit of forgiveness, restore harmony in our relationships, and offer prayers for healing across time and lineage. Ajmak reminds us that to err is human - and to forgive is divine. It is the thread that weaves compassion through our stories, allowing us to release burdens and walk forward with grace.
