Medicine Drum Workshop- June

Learn how to weave your magic and birth your very own medicine drum! 

Does the sound of drumming move you deeply? 

Does it resonate on a level that you can barely describe?

Are you a healer wanting to take your practice to the next level?

Has making a drum been on your list for a while now?

It's time to step into your light, take a deep breath, and get your two beautiful hands working! 

I have held space and shown many women how to make their own drum without them having prior experience in drumming, weaving, or crafting.

I AM HERE TO GUIDE YOU STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BIRTHING YOUR OWN UNIQUE MEDICINE DRUM. 

YOU'LL GET:

16 inch Willow Tree Hoop (kangaroo) OR

18 inch Red Oak hoop (deer)

Full uncut kangaroo or deer hide 

Synthetic sinew of varying colours

All tools to complete the process; scissors, punches, glue, etc 

Decorative items: natural feathers, crystals, ornaments, etc. 

OPTIONAL:

Locally custom-made mallet (Paul from Gongwalkabout)

Local bespoke cotton drum bags (made by my mamma bear, Susan from Susie's Home Crafts)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Any feathers, crystals, shells, or anything else that has meaning to you that you'd like to thread or stick onto your drum (ideally, it will have a hole for threading or be small enough to be glued on)

WHAT MAKES ME QUALIFIED TO TEACH THIS WORKSHOP?

Not only have I made many medicine drums and taught others how to make their own, but I am also a qualified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, Sound Facilitator, and Meditation Teacher. 

I have facilitated workshops, classes, day retreats, weekend retreats, and online sessions. 

Using these modalities in these different formats, I have spent the last 5 years bringing people back into their bodies, easing their minds, and settling their nervous systems.  

I currently spend my days finding new ways to empower women to discover their true selves so they can live a life they love. 

I really hope to see your beautiful face at this workshop!
