The Drum & Our Divinity
Across cultures, rhythm has served as a bridge between humans & the divine.
Shamans, healers, priestesses, and everyday people have turned to the drum to ground the nervous system, open the voice, release emotion, & enter altered states of consciousness for GUIDANCE & INSIGHT.​
In this masterclass we will explore the power of the drum through the lens of the West African djembe & shamanic drum, the drumming priestesses of Ancient Egypt and Sumer, and rhythm keepers from cultures around the world.
And we will honor how rhythm has traveled, transformed, and woven itself into modern ceremonial and musical spaces. Throughout the journey, guest teachers will join us, offering their own lineages, cultural perspectives, and lived experience with rhythm, ceremony, and healing.
Meet Your Instructor
Katie Berns Lee (K'haht'ya כהתיה)
Katie is a Jewish American primal hand-drummer, songstress, musician, activator, connector and creator of Russian and Polish heritage.
​
She believes that rhythm activates vibrational messages from our body and soul—so let us use it to communicate the messages coming through us during times of great responsibility and transformation.
​
Through her music and spiritual practice and study, Katie connects deeply to indigenous and ancient cultures from West Africa, Latin America, Mongolia, the Middle East, and folk America, and her mission encourages a return to original ways of feeling, expressing, and being as stewards of this Earth.

FAQs
​1. Do I need to know how to play music or hand drums to join?
No experience is necessary, and this is for all levels. It depends how deep you want to go.
​
2. Do I need a djembe and shamanic drum to take the class?
Highly recommended. Especially to be able to deepen into study on your own and live this experience so that you can become a testament of pulse and embodied rhythm. Recommendations for drums will be sent as soon as you register.
​
3. I don't have any rhythm. Will this be a problem?
The real truth: EVERYONE has rhythm. When we are children, we are often told by others that we should not sing or play music, or that we are not good. EVERYONE on this planet carries the codes to the Primordial Pulse within them.
​​​
4. I do not want to be a professional percussionist. Is this still for me?
This course is for anyone who wants to embody their inner truth on a whole new level. It has nothing to do with performance, and yet, if you are a performer, returning to your truth will enhance your transmission tenfold.​
​
5. Is this course only for women?
NO. This is for MEN and WOMEN on the drumming path. This is rare for Drum Temple, so get on it, men!​​
