Drum Making is an act of creation. The bringing to life of an instrument of prayer.
A drum is a medicine tool from our hearts, with our hands, for the earth. A drum helps us to connect to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. It is a means of healing and awakening ourselves and others as we drum.
The drum beat represents the creative power in all things including the power to change. A drum is a voice. A voice that is a gift to us from a greater being.
The human mind fixates upon the monotonous and repetitiveness. Drum rhythms used in Meditation, Chanting, Shamanic Journeys or Shamanic Trance Music have a direct effect upon the brain function and mood of the involved listener. This allows the expression of one’s own uniqueness and to create a relationship with the Spirit of the drum.
Spend a day in Circle while you make your own traditional Shamanic Hand Drum. Bring an open heart and clear intention for your creation as we spend a day creating your tools.
The Drum Making Workshop will be for a large 16 inch Drum.
All materials for the workshop are supplied and it takes approximately 5 to 6 hours although allow flexibility of time as it may vary.
Your workshop can be tailored to a group setting or for individuals.
Please bring a comfortable cushion, a large towel, your bottle of water, a plate of something yummy to share throughout the day and an open heart with a clear intention for your Healing tool.
I look forward to sharing space with you and creating together.
