Healing Drum Crafting Workshop with Gabriel “Gabo” Ramirez

Come join us for a hands-on experience in creating your very own healing drum with the talented Gabriel “Gabo” Ramirez! This workshop is a unique opportunity to learn about the ancient art of drum crafting while also tapping into the healing power of music. Get ready to unleash your creativity and connect with others in a fun and supportive environment. No prior experience is necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Don't miss out on this special event!

The drum is a part of native heritage from tribal cultures all over the world. This single sided drum is crafted using a wooden hoop or frame and a stretched rawhide head and lacing. Covered on only one side, the back is laced to form the symbol of a medicine wheel with the four cardinal directions that also serve as a hand hold. Great for drumming circles and meditation!

In this workshop we will begin with a Drum opening ceremony to connect to the Heartbeat of the Drum, followed by a blessing of the Materials and then start the process of creating our drums and beaters. After creating the drum, we'll celebrate its birth with a special Drum Awakening ceremony. We will then finish the workshop with a closing circle because birthing a drum is an intense process and one that is not easily forgotten.

This workshop will be facilitated by Gabriel "Gabo" Ramirez, a soulful artist, creator of sacred instruments, and facilitator of sound experiences for healing and consciousness expansion. With a career spanning more than three decades as a professional percussionist, his path led him to integrate art, spirituality, and ancestral wisdom into a single purpose: to activate the memory of the spirit and heal through sound.
