The art of drum making is a ceremony.

It is an initiation into embodying the voice we are given and the voice of Mother Earth. It has a life of its own and delivers unique lessons, messages and challenges for each person. It is a rite of passage into the self that is calling us. It is reclamation of our destiny as we step into the unfolding of our own great story.

This offering is for those who hear the call of the drum; who long to connect with the Earth and be a channel for the Divine; who have a heart for healing; who simply desire to sing and drum more; and for those who are ready to claim their voice.

Drumming and singing is the most ancient technology to achieve states of high consciousness where deep healing and transformation happens, wisdom is received and life force replenished.

For me this ceremony is inseparable from our unique song. It is all about being a channel for our voice to fulfill its purpose - expressing the divine we are made of. It is to remember our birthright - our undeniable belonging to this Earth and to honor her will for us.

In this all day workshop we will hold a ceremony where we craft our medicine drums with intention and reverence to the process of death and birthing anew. In our safe container we will create beauty, listen to what wants to come through us and weave our prayers and voices together. At the end of our full day ceremony, we will take our cherished drums home with us, and commit to the practice of intentionally communing with the elemental forces in the context of channeling divine music.
