Northern Drum – Three Year Training

Northern Drum – Three year training is a shamanism training group led by Chris Luttichau at the EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset, England. It is described as an ongoing shamanism training group, and this gathering is one of its residential sessions in the Main Centre. It suits people who want to study shamanic practice within a continuing group rather than through a one-off workshop.

What to Expect

The training runs under the Northern Drum name, and the group meets in a series of sessions over time, as the three-year title indicates. This session takes place over several days at the centre. The group's other gatherings at EarthSpirit carry the same description, ongoing shamanism training, and are led by the same teacher. Northern Drum also holds a separate strand called Medicine Lodge, which meets at the same venue.

About Chris Luttichau

Chris Luttichau is the group leader of Northern Drum and leads both the three year training and the Medicine Lodge sessions at EarthSpirit Centre. His work centres on shamanism, taught through a continuing group.

The Setting

EarthSpirit Centre is in Compton Dundon, in the Somerset countryside of south-west England. The training is held in the Main Centre, one of the centre's two main buildings, alongside Little Earth. The centre hosts a wide range of retreats, trainings and workshops through the year, from shamanic courses and yoga immersions to breathwork and meditation retreats. It also offers accommodation, catering and accessibility information for visitors, and the centre's own pages cover how to get there.

Before You Go

This is an ongoing training group, so it is worth contacting the Northern Drum organisers about how new participants join the group and what is expected of them before you plan to attend. The group's teaching is shamanic, and the sessions are led in English.
