Medicine Drum Making Workshop

Creating your Medicine Drum Making in this workshop is a truly in-depth experience that can travel with you as a sacred object that beats through your entire life.

For those who have not played a medicine drum, with an introduction to breathing/beating meditation, and making it yourself you will find it will play itself.

Practically, there are options to make a 14” or 18” drum from either goat, kangaroo or deer hide.

Please see the details for the new vegan drum as a separate workshop if you are interested.

I either make the hoops myself with sustainably harvested hoop pine or get them made by a traditional manufacturer using a single piece of sustainable freshly cut timber.

Both types of hoops provide a lightweight strong drum and you get to brand them with sacred geometry.

I acknowledge the Native American and other traditional creators of this style of drum and the indigenous people of this land.

I have been through a big journey in offering drum-making to others, which will assist in guiding fellow makers on a beautiful and sacred journey.
