You will create, decorate and empower your own magical drum and beater. Journey to discover the Spirit and name of your drum. Honour, name and celebrate its creation with a Fire Ceremony. An enjoyable, sociable creative weekend for all. No previous creative skills required. All materials provided.
‘Much of the Art of Drum Making cannot be spoken-it is about tapping into our creative centres, contacting Spirit and bringing into being what we are given. Drums are a Shamankas most important tool.
When she makes her own it is a birthing process-a moment of conception; when the seed of the idea meets materials gifted by Mother Earth. A gestation- as the process unfolds. A birth as the drum is completed and then honoured and named in Ceremony.
Her drum becomes her companion, her most powerful ally and teacher. If cared for it will mature and grow old with her. When the Shamanka walks the Rainbow Bridge the Drum Spirit will go with her, keeping rhythm for the next dance.’
I feel that this is true. The Drum Spirits are really needed now. They beat for the healing of Mother Earth-they beat for our own illumination-they beat for joy and sorrow-they beat for celebration and ceremony-they beat for cleansing and clearing-they beat for us.
This weekend offers you the opportunity to birth your own drum-calling its Spirit and weaving its soul. With the chance to dedicate and name the drum during a Fire Ceremony
This workshop is now fully booked.
