Have you been feeling the call to Create Your Own Medicine Drum?
Rhythm is at the core of our being ... before we had ears to hear, we felt the Beat of our Mothers Heart pulsing through our cellular bodies...
Ancient sources tell us that the frame drum was not just a powerful symbol of Spiritual Presence, it was also an important tool in day to day life...
Layne Redmond
wrote about this in her book 'when the drummers were women' ...
" Skilled technicians in the use of the Medicine Drum knew which rhythms quickened the life in freshly planted seeds and which rhythms facilitated child birth."
The Creation of a Drum is a sacred act.
Through guided processes we help bring deeper awareness to our own creative process in which we honour both the animal and tree who have given their life so that we can help their Spirit live on through our drum and our drumming ...

You needn't know how to play your drum as the drum teaches You ... there is no wrong way ...

a perfect practice to deepen self awareness and learn about your self
The Lakota tradition create drums in pairs
There is something special in finding our rhythms when weaving with another.
You have the option of pairing up on the day to share in making one drum in the morning and the second in the afternoon.
Or bring a partner to share in the creation of your drum.
Everyone goes home having birthed a new drum into being
