Northern Drum – Medicine Lodge (April)

Northern Drum – Medicine Lodge is an ongoing shamanism training group held at the EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset. It is led by group leader Chris Luttichau under the Northern Drum name, and it is a shamanic training gathering for people who are already working with a continuing group, rather than a one-off taster workshop.

What to Expect

The Medicine Lodge is one meeting within Northern Drum's shamanism training, which runs as a series of residential gatherings through the year. Chris Luttichau holds the group as its leader. The same training is also offered at the centre under the Northern Drum name as a three year training, so this is best understood as part of a longer path of shamanic study rather than a standalone event.

Because the group is ongoing, it suits people who want to deepen a sustained shamanic practice alongside others, rather than sample the subject for a weekend.

The Setting

The gathering takes place in the Main Centre at EarthSpirit Centre, a residential retreat venue in Compton Dundon, on the edge of the Somerset Levels and close to Glastonbury. The centre hosts shamanic courses, yoga immersions, men's and women's work, and other retreats throughout the year, and it also runs a sweat lodge and offers tea ceremony and forage walks as part of its wider offerings.

The nearest train station is Castle Cary.

Before You Go

This is a continuing training group, so it is worth contacting the Northern Drum organizers about how to join and whether the group is open to new participants before you plan your travel.
