If you have ever wanted to make your own shamanic drum so that you can play, soothe, heal and connect with it, here is your opportunity. In this day event, you will be:
- introduced to shamanic drum making and shamanic drumming - guided in the process of cleansing the raw materials and honouring them before you make your drum
- supported to craft your own drum by a skilled drum-maker and spiritual man (He does not like to take titles such as shaman or healer but I promise you he is both!), my own father!
- connect with the spirit of the animal and the tree you have used in your craft and make a promise of commitment for the use of your drum in a shamanic journey
- spend the day, mindfully creating, experiencing and sharing with a like-minded others
At the end of your day you will have a unique and wonderful drum that you can use for your own intentions and pleasure.
THE BACKGROUND
Several years ago my Dad and I made our own shamanic drums and found a huge amount of joy and spiritual nature within the process. My Dad, Peter, has since crafted numerous drums using a range of woods and skins of various shapes and sizes and methods. He is a quiet and deeply spiritual man who has spent more than 40 years exploring and studying shamanism, healing arts and spirituality. He is now in his later years and is keen to help pass on the knowledge and skill he has to those who would be open to learning. He is willing to offer his calm guidance and skill to help you craft your own drum for a donation to his chosen charity along with the cost of the skin and wooden hoop to make the drum itself.
For my part, I will be assisting in most aspects of the session, and I offer you the opportunity to go on a shamanic journey, accompanied by the rhythms of my own handmade drum, to meet with the spirit of the animal whose skin you will make your drum from and perhaps connect with the spirit of the tree whose wood you will use. Your journey will be unique and private whilst being in a shared space with a very small group of like minded others.
The cost of the session will depend on the size of frame and choice of skin you choose. I will seek guidance on suggested charitable donation for my Dad's time and skill in supporting you on this magical, creative & spiritual journey. A ball park figure for the whole day, my time, a possible donation amount and materials may be somewhere between £200 & £300 I would think.
If you would like to join this drum birthing day, please contact me as soon as possible as I will be making the hoop and skins order as soon as possible.
