ABOUT JANA
Born in 1950 in England, I am a Virgo with Scorpio rising. I have been blessed with the gift of singing and a strong sense of rhythm. I feel very natural about communicating with all the worlds of Grandmother Earth through chanting and drumming. Great Spirit teaches me that authenticity and humility is the path towards spiritual freedom.
I have been on my spiritual path, through music, for a long time... I love all kinds of ceremonial music and Drum Spirit is the result of teaching Shamanic drumming for many years. I have played many different types of drums as a musician throughout my life and I now facilitate the Drum Spirit drumming method using the ancient Mayan 20 count as my guide.
I live and work on the ancient Isle of Avalon - the sacred landscape of Glastonbury Tor in South-West England. I am part of a rich community of healers, musicians, dreamers, artists and visionaries. I write and sing chants for circles, ceremonies and celebrations, ensuring that the heartbeat it always pulsing throughout the gatherings
My spiritual path is a multi-coloured weaving from different traditions: Wiccan, Druidic, Shamanic, Buddhist and Hindu. I honour the Sacred Marriage in all aspects of my life, celebrating Celtic fire festivals with the local Druids, practising Buddhist meditation, Shamanic pipe ceremonies as well as chanting daily Sanskrit mantras.
My ancestral roots are Celtic European and I have a strong soul connection with Native American spiritual teachings - I feel a powerful familiarity to that ancient tribal way of being. I come from a background of Deer Tribe Sweet Medicine teachings which have given me a ceremonial grounding from which my sacred drumming springs.
I teach classes and workshops in both drumming chanting and also practice drum healing as well as being available for drum ceremonies for special occasions. I also see individuals who seek healing through chant and drum therapy.
I have recorded many chanting and drumming albums and please feel free to check out my products page to hear samples and for details of how to order.
