Find Your Own Rhythm

It all begins with a calling…

The shamanic drum is an ancient tool of power. It is the horse that shamans ride into the spirit world.

Harnessing supernatural forces, opening expanded states of consciousness, and facilitating inner healing.

The Drum echoes the one heartbeat of Creation, helping us return to our natural state of balance and connection.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for an amazing weekend. I don’t think any of us were truly prepared for the amazingly raw, sometimes confronting, but completely sensational process of birthing a drum. I came along to learn how to make a drum and walked away learning more about myself then I would ever have imagined or even been willing to admit to myself. It is a weekend with my drumming sisters that I will treasure forever.

You are a fantastic teacher, who guided and called me out with care.”
