Drum Birthing

Join me at Shaman's Retreat to birth your own sacred medicine tool.  Right from the start, you'll be encouraged to take photos so that you'll have a lasting record of every stage of the process.  This experiential practical workshop can also provide deeper shamanic awareness.  As the day unfolds, you will:

• Connect with and honour the energy of both the wood and hide
• Discover the key elemental, planetary and related correspondences and meaning of both 
• Receive gentle guidance through every step of the process as you prepare the hoop, cut, pierce and thread the hide, tension the lacing and create your own handle design
• Select a drum beater from my handmade collection
• Enjoy a ceremonial blessing to bless and welcome in the spirit of your drum
• Receive advice on how to look after and care for your drum
