Drum Making Workshop and Drumming Circle - $ 75.00

2012 TBA

A community gathering to help create each others special drum.

           

In this workshop we will start out by creating a sacred space to work in and then a short talking on the powers of the drum. And in that space we will bless the hands, tools and materials that will be creating these beautiful drums.

Breaking out into smaller groups, working together to stretch the hides over the frames and tying the notes, then making  and decorating your beater.

          

Once all the drums are made we will do a final blessing and smudging of each drum before they are put away to dry.

As the work is now done; its time to feast and play. 

Continuing in the spirit of community we will break for a summertime potluck feast.  and once we are fed it time to play the drums.
