Hand-made Drums
|
I offer hand-made drums for sale at a reasonable price. Drums can be customized to your specifications (species of wood frame, type of animal hide used). I approach drum-making the same way I approach all aspects of shamanism. Each drum, like each person, has a unique spirit and energy. I make each drum slowly and carefully, taking into account the uniqueness of its materials, form, and spirit. I would be pleased to ensure that your drum is in harmony with your personal spirit and energy. |

Drum-making Workshops
Periodically, I offer drum-making workshops. This is an enriching, empowering experience that involves using shamanic practices to make your own personal drum. If spirit moves you to make a drum with my guidance, please call or e-mail me, and I can add you to a waiting list for upcoming workshops.
In the past I have also gone to other locations to guide drum-making workshops for groups (friends, families, spiritual groups).
If you have a group of people committed to participating, we can discuss this as an option, as well.

The drum connects our hearts to the heartbeat of Mother Earth.

Drum-making Photos
Here are some photos from different drum-making workshops I have led, showing various aspects of the process.
“...Drumming is one of the most accessible forms of ritual
because drumming along with our own heartbeat is so natural.
It calms, centers, and reconnects us with our deeper selves.”
