Women's drum circle: connection and well-being
2025-01-12 12:30 - 2025-10-05 17:00 (Europe/London) | School Of Meditation, 158 Holland Park Avenue, London, W11 4UH, London, W11 4UH, GB
An afternoon of drumming with other women to release stress, connect and share. You will leave self-confident and energized,yet peaceful.

Are you feeling isolated and lonely even if you live in London surrounded by loads of people? Are you stressed from work or anxious about your personal situation? Do you feel you never have time for yourself and so any self care? Are you craving more authentic and in person connection with other women?
Look no further!!! Come and join me for a whole afternoon of women’s drum circle! We will gather in a safe and secure space to take a welcome pause in our busy lives, tune into ourself, express how we feel, and drum to shake that energy and bring back movement into our lives!
Drumming allow us to “switch off” the mind, and move from overthinking into feeling and letting the inner wisdom of our bodies to express itself.
Expect some gentle guided meditation, plenty of drumming, in group or by pairs, times to share how we are feeling, and a nice drumming relaxation (aka shamanic journey) at the end. Drumming is done in an intuitive manner. This is not a workshop to teach any musical technique! But rather an opportunity to try and experience first-hand the healing that the vibration of the sound does to your body and mind!
We will break for lunch in the middle of the session so please bring food to share. Healthy or home-cooked food preferred but please do what you can! Simple is best. There is no microwave onsite but pot to reheat food if needed. Cutlery and tableware is available.
To be comfy please bring a yoga mat, a blanket, cushions, lots of warm layers and warm socks as the weather can be really cold at this time of the year!
7 frame drums are available to borrow during the circle. No experience necessary! Please let me know if you are bringing your own drum (of any kind!).
Please note this is NOT therapy.

Women’s drumming circle
I am delighted to facilitate this monthly women’s drumming circle near Hammersmith at the Grove Neighbour Centre. It will take place on the last Friday of the month (7.30pm to 9.30pm).
Friday 25th April 2025 – Se*uality and creativity
Friday 30th May 2025 – Finding my true self
Friday 27th June 2025 – Theme TBC
The themes are only indicative, they can be a guide in our sharing times, or not! All women welcome, no experience necessary and drums are available to borrow. Drumming is done intuitively so there is no “technique” or specific rythm to follow. You can come to all circles or just as a one-off. This is an open group!
It is an opportunity to take time for yourself, nurture your energy, feel part of a community and empowered!
I make sure the space is safe and secure for everyone to express their voice in the most autenthic manner. No advice is given but caring and deep listening where we hold each other and are fully present. Sharing is welcome as well as laughing, crying, drumming, shouting, singing….
We start by a grounding meditation and a sharing circle before setting our intentions and drumming. There will be meditation, sharing, drumming, singing…. We end with a drumming relaxation (shamanic journey).
We might drum for ourselves, for others, for the world, for joy, for love, for release and more.
Things to note:
Bring something to sit on (yoga mat, cushion, blancket, sheep skin….) and make sure you wear layers or bring a warm chawl, a blanket and warm socks to be warm and confortable.
Bring some snacks to share after the circle. We will share nibbles and a warm drink, I am bringing herbal teas.
You could also bring something for the altar which you take back afterwards (crystals, stones, feathers, flowers, elements from nature, oracles, personal items….).
No experience is needed and there will be 7 drums available to borrow. Please let me know in the Notes when booking if you bring a drum or not to help me with planning.
Location: Grove Neighbourhood Centre, 7 Bradmore Park Road, W6 0DT London (closest tube stations are Hammersmith or Raventscourt Park). Free parking is available in the street.

Honouring our grief ~ a grief-tending ritual with Erika & Amélie
2025-11-22 13:30 - 18:30 | School Of Meditation, 158 Holland Park Avenue, London, W11 4UH, London, W11 4UH, GB
You are invited to join our Grief Tending Ceremony to take care of your wild and precious heart in a welcoming and safe space.

“Grief is the awakening. Grief is life stirring towards itself.” Stephen Jenkinson
You are invited to join our Grief Tending Ceremony to take care of your wild and precious heart.
We offer this space to come together to honour our grief in the warm and loving arms of community. A place to share with and witness one another; welcoming our sorrow, our love, our pain, and our gratitude.
Through gentle somatic rituals, shared reflections, and moments of silence and singing, we will tend to our sorrow, release some of the weight we carry, and welcome healing and integration.
You are not alone. This is a space for you to feel held, supported, and seen. Your grief is valid. Your story matters.
We ask you to bring an open heart and, if you feel comfortable, a small item that symbolises your journey—a photo, a flower, or anything meaningful to you.
This ceremony is offered with deep compassion and respect. Everything offered is an invitation, never compulsory. You are welcome to sit in silence, to lie down and relax if you so wish. There is no pressure to speak or share. Your own self-care takes priority.
The arc of the day will begin with building the group container with some grounding and nourishing somatic practices, then move into evoking and expressing grief, followed by soothing and integration. We will end together with a warming meal.
There will be a maximum of 12 people for this ceremony (plus Erika and Amélie).
Any questions, doubts, or something you would like to clarify before coming, please reach out and contact us.
Exchange
Low income: £55 (limited no. of places)
Standard: £65
Supporter: £75
If you feel a strong call to attend but cannot afford it please reach out to contact us and we may be able to find a solution.
About Erika Tourell
Erika has been working in the field of well-being for over three decades; as a trauma-informed somatic therapist & coach, yoga & meditation teacher, tantra practitioner, ritualist and circle holder. Erika’s passion for grief tending and ceremony comes from a strong desire to heal her own personal complex childhood trauma, ancestral, and collective cultural trauma. She has been greatly helped and inspired by many indigenous wisdom keepers and healers, sitting in plant medicine ceremonies for over twenty years which has helped her greatly to reawaken an intimate connection with nature, the elements, and the other-than-human world. Learning from other traditions, unbroken lineages and teachers, Erika has been able to re-member and re-imagine some of her own ancestral practices of gathering together to lament our sorrows, and to celebrate our aliveness through the offering of presence, prayers, song and dance.
About Amélie Thévenet
Amélie is a pychic healer and therapist working with presence, tuning into the quantum information field, her intuition, Bach flowers and drumming. She particularly focuses on bringing people back to their emotions and bodies so that they can bring movement back into their life when they feel stuck. Drawing some pratices from the shamanic tradition, she holds regular women drumming circles in London. Amélie is a space healer and does house and space energetic cleansing, working with the energy of a space and its inhabitants for better rest, sleep and feeling truly “at home”, especially after life events like divorce or bereavement.

The theme of “Moving Forward” is only an invitation to reflect on what we wish to leave behind us, and with drumming we will get messages and support on how best it is to be done for each of us individually.
Drumming has been very profound and powerful for me and my deep desire to to share that experience with other women so that we can tap into our intuition and be guided in the best possible way in our everyday lives.
The aim is to get insights on how we can best implement some simple actions or thoughts in our everyday lives. And of course to spend two hours in a lovely energy, feeling heard and supported by other women.
