Drum Making Workshop (A one day event see calendar or hosting for more information)
A new
heart beat is given birth
Most indigenous people used percussive instruments to set the rhythm of their nations. Sacred rituals and ceremonies, traditional dances and songs were lead by the drum.
In a modern society of specialists and professionalism we have come to believe that only 'musicians' can play the drum. This is simply not true. We are connected to the drum through our ancestors and will always feel its power.
During this workshop students participate in Shamanic ceremonies to honor those who provide the raw materials for a drum. 'Wakhan Hutopa' (Sacred Four Legged), that provide the hide and 'Standing Tall Ones' (trees) that offer wood for a hoop are recognized in 'Sacred Circle'.
This method uses the 'Medicine Wheel' lacing in recognition of the Four Directions.
The students are always thrilled
and surprised by the beautiful results of their days work.
The instructor offers one on one assistance as well as demonstrations and
guidance through the entire process.
