*payment plans availabile through Klarna at checkout (log out if it does not go through)

This November, we anchor into the lands of Southern Oregon to call the priestesses, mystery school oracles, & sorceresses forth in the name of divine alchemy & the drum.

This experience is a 3-day ceremonial immersion for ancient drum priestesses & those who feel the call to meeting her shadows, dancing with our ancestors, & praying to the Earth through drum, song, ritual, & reclamation.

✨ Overview

Thousands of years ago in Ancient Egypt, through the cults of Goddess Isis and Hathor, the women drummed -- for rites of passage, life, & death, inner alchemy, and divine manifestation.

We are being called upon to bring this through once again.

Across the weekend, we will engage in

Women's Primal Drumming Ceremony

Ritual Theatre

Rhythmic Play & Learning

Deep EFT Soul Work

Vocal & Sonic Experiencing

Altar of Rhythm Initiation

to embody the drum priestess — in mask and in vulnerability — so we can walk in TRUTH.

A Little Background

The Drum Temple Experience is designed to bring your closer to personal truth through the ancient arts of ritual, sisterhood experiencing, drum, & song.

Using the West African djembe, Siberian and South American Shamanic drum, and our personal vocal vibrations, we will move from the mind to the heart & explore our inner blocks so we can dissolve them and be free.

We do this all while in the safety of sisterhood so we can be held in our tears, fury, joy, ecstasy, and remembrance.

About the Facilitators

Katie Berns Lee (K'hatya)

K'hatya is the founder of Drum Temple LLC, where she helps people open their hearts, ground in, and get in touch with their “truest and most primal selves” through deep activation, ancestral remembrance, and reconnection to the primordial heartbeat.

Through her music, she 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.

K'hatya believes that rhythm and ritual activate vibrational messages from our body and soul—so may we use these tools to communicate the messages coming through us during times of great responsibility and transformation.
