Create Your Own: Native Hoop Drum and Hide Rattle

POSTPONED

The drum is a representation of the heartbeat. The rattle is humankind’s imitation of rain. Both of these tools are used around the world for healing, journeying, empowerment, celebration, ceremony, cleansing, meditation... the list goes on.

Join us this Fall as we guide you into your own special relationship with creating and connecting with these sacred tools.

During this workshop, you will learn how to honor the animal; create with ceremony, song, and intention; and deepen the relationship with your drum and rattle once they are birthed.

On the first day of the workshop we will make the drum in full. We will also cut out, sow, and stuff the rattle and choose its handle. The week break between sessions will allow them to dry.

When we come together again, we will complete the rattle, attach its handle, make beaters, and birth the drum together. There will be time at the end for additional learning around care and use of these sacred items.
