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.

Choose your drumming style, duration, and tempo.

Rattles too loud? Adjust the volume of instruments individually.

See and be seen: share your journey location anonymously with other Drum Journey users, and see others.

The settings tab lets you adjust the callback duration and sharing preference.
