Drum Making Workshop
The hand drum has been used for journey work purposes by those who are shamanic practitioners. Prayer and drumming can tap into our 'waking dream state' quicker than meditation alone.
The hand drum has for centuries been used in healing work. The tribes' shaman or medicine man/woman would drum to travel to other dimensions and access knowledge about their client or their community so that they could bring back what is needed to align that person with their higher self. This could be for physical healing as much as healing their spirit.
Today more than ever spiritual beings are looking to access higher dimensions and look to the hand drum to help them come into oneness with their purpose in this lifetime. Tapping into the heartbeat of Mother Earth and your primal self is a personal practice.
By making your own drum, you are birthing your drum into being. You place within it your own medicine Where that takes you is up to you. Your drum is a living being and will speak to you if you honor your drum in a sacred way. The connection you make with your drum is limitless.

Hoop size:
We will use maple for the hoops in sizes 10", 12", 14", 16" or 18".
10" is more for kids but some people like having a smaller drum option.
The 10" drum is $70 for the workshop.
12" will be a nice starter drum if you are not sure what size you would like. This one is $120
14" is also a nice size and will have a good voice. This one is $170
The 16" drum is a nice size to carry everywhere with you. It will have a nice voice.
The 16" is $220 for the workshop.
The 18" is slightly larger but still a nice size to carry with you.
The voice is going to be a bit deeper than the 16" and the 18" runs $250 for the workshop.
What to bring: a towel or blanket to sit your drum on to work on it and any spiritual items you would like to have with you as you take this journey.
Also bring a crystal or stone to place into the handle. This is an option you might like. See image below.
We will have a potluck after the drum making so bring a dish to pass, something simple.
You will also make a beater to go with your drum.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Lacing options
If you have a special stone to place in the handle, bring it. The other option is the four direction lacing. This is a way to honor the four directions.
