The drum is the most ancient instrument dating back thousands of years and has been the working companion of shamans, ceremonialists, healers and mystics the world over. Whether it is ceremonial work, rituals, healing work, sacred dancing, or movement between realities and worlds, the drum can be an extremely powerful ally for you. When you make a mystical drum in the right ways, you are facilitating the birth of a truly sacred object.
During this course, you will be guided with some deep practices, including:
Making your own deer skin shamanic drum and drum stick.
Understanding and experiencing why the process of “making” a drum is referred to as “Birthing” the drum to acknowledge the animism based principle that the drum is alive and sacred.
Empowering your drum and stick and beginning the process of building a meaningful relationship with them.
Learning and practicing a number of methods or techniques the drum can be a healer for yourself as well as others.
Engaging in some powerful and rarely available ceremonial work with drums that can promote strong well-being and assist in processes of inner work.

Giving your drum intentions or asking it questions.
