You've found Drum Journey, the first app for shamanic journeying.

Shamanic journeying, as you probably already know, is a kind of insight meditation. It’s a spiritual practice that combines visualization with acoustic accompaniment, usually fast drumming or rattling.

Drum Journey works like a timer; dial in the journey duration, set your options, and tap Start. Included in the app are several professionally-produced drum and rattle tracks, and you can also import your own from iTunes.

Features:

  • flexible journey duration, from 5 minutes to an hour
  • choice of drumming styles (single, double, or with rattle)
  • new in 2.1 added ceremonial drumming style with slow, finely-adjustable tempo
  • high quality drumming tracks
  • adjustable tempo (slow, normal, and fast)
  • adjustable instrument volumes
  • import your favorite drumming tracks from your iPod
  • new in 2.1 the duration of imported audio tracks can be adjusted
  • works with AirPort Express and AppleTV (via AirPlay)
  • Optimized for iPhone 5 and Retina devices
  • light up the globe; share your location with other Drum Journey users

For centuries, shamans have used journeying to gain insight and clarity. I was inspired to create this app while participating in the three year program of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

Note: This app does not teach shamanic journey practices. See our Books & Teachers page for links to shamanic educators and practitioners.
