Activity Spotlight~
Join Vicki Kibby of Earth Wisdom for DRUM MAKING [♥]
Sacred drum making workshop Saturday, June 3 1-3pm
Create your very own drum to use for meditation journeys, hand drumming, songs and chants. Participants will be able to choose their solid wood frames from a selection of oak or maple. Our frames are steam bent and handmade in Harrison MI from locally sourced wood. Then participants may choose their drum head from our selection of ethically harvested and respectfully handled deer hides. These have been cut to shape and prepared for creating a 16 inch drum.
We will also be creating a beater for your drum. You will be able to choose a handle and a beater cover for assembly. Rabbit fur covers are available for an additional $15.
We will be offering prayers and thanks in a sacred manner as the drum takes form and is given its "voice". After we have created our drums and beaters, we will do a Shamanic journey while holding our new drums to connect with their spirit and voice.
Class size is limited to 8 participants.
The cost for this workshop is $240 and covers all materials for participants to create a 16 inch drum and beater. A 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required to reserve your place in this workshop and must be received by May 1st. Balance due before the start of the class on June 3, at 1pm.
