2 DAY Drum Making Ceremony

Make Your Own Medicine Drum!

This workshop provides you with an interactive environment in which you will create your own unique and authentic Medicine Drum. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring into being a medicine drum that will carry your energy and your intentions.

Your drum will be made with due ceremony and ritual throughout the day. It will be unique to you, handcrafted in the style of the Native American Drum. Created with the right intent, it will become an extension of your heart and soul.

Why 13 sides?

This is to bring attention to the 13 moon cycles throughout the year. Each cycle is a stepping stone of spiritual growth. This information will be discussed during the process, so that you can infuse some of this knowledge into your drum frame.

What Matthew creates, he does to honour the ancestors and the traditions of The Lakota and Plains People of First Nations cultures in North America.
