JOHN BOWKER
Tribal Spirit Drumming
We’re absolutely delighted to welcome John Bowker back to Nourish & Flow for his third year.
John is the driving force behind Tribal Spirit Drumming, known for creating powerful, immersive group experiences that bring people together through rhythm, voice, and connection. Year after year, his drumming circle becomes one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend, something that truly has to be experienced to be believed.
Held in the beautiful walled garden, John’s session is rooted in the primal energy of the drum, simple rhythms, and shared participation. There’s no experience needed, just a willingness to join in. As the rhythm builds, something shifts, people move, connect, and lift together, creating a sense of energy, joy, and collective release that’s both grounding and uplifting.
This year, John is also bringing his powerful Heart Song experience to Sunday morning. Through guided group singing, you’re invited to use your voice in a way that feels freeing rather than performative. Singing together has a deeply regulating effect on the body and nervous system, helping to release tension, open the breath, and create a sense of connection, both within yourself and with those around you.
It’s not about how you sound, it’s about how you feel.
Together, these sessions offer something truly special, a chance to connect, express, and experience the power of rhythm and voice in a way that stays with you long after the weekend ends.
