Celebrate 15 Years!
We invite you this November 14th and 15th we celebrate 15 years since the Golden Drum first opened its doors to New York. Born from a community vision that was guided by our elder, Maestro Manuel Rufino, we gathered collectively to create an oasis where indigenous elders and their wisdom can unite together. The Golden Drum has become a place devoted to the honoring and preservation of Amerikua wisdom and all sacred traditions of humanity.
Dream Seed Sound Healing Training Program 2025-2026
This 9-Month, 120-hour in-person and online multi-cultural training course is designed to give participants a hands-on approach to facilitating sound healing sessions and using sound for personal enrichment. By bridging the fields of sacred music, energy work, and healing traditions, participants will strengthen their capacity as sound workers and will walk away with the skills and knowledge to be able to incorporate sound into healing sessions and meditative environments.
This year’s program began on October 9, 2024. Registration is still open until the end of 2024. Additionally, each module in the program can be attended a la carte by registering through Golden Drum’s upcoming events. Recordings of previous courses are also available. Full details from last year’s program here. New info for our upcoming course is coming soon.
