Join us for some magical rattle creation in the yurt in the woods! This is an opportunity to create your own rattle whether it be for personal reasons, community initiatives, or as a tool in your 'healer kit' to serve others. The rattle is the most potent tool for shamanic journey and healing work.
Its vibration symbolizes life itself, and in traditional cultures is often one of the 1st gifts given to a new baby. It is said that the rattle mimics the sound of rain which connects the heavens to the earth. We know and understand the power of water with its nurturing, cohesive, healing and cleansing properties. Therefore, the shamanic rattle channels the energy of water to open the channel between the ethereal and material planes to support positive transformation, healing, and new birth.
The crafting of your own shamanic rattle adds your unique vibration into this healing tool, making this one of your most treasured instruments of transformation.
In this workshop you will be provided with the following:
- Rawhide for crafting the head of your rattle
- Artificial Sinew for sewing and wrapping your rattle head.
- Rawhide hole punch
- Needles for sewing
- small stones for the "brains" shakers inside the rattle.
- Detailed instructions and guidance to craft your rattle
- Light snacks and tea
Cost: $111
Registration Deadline: Sunday, Feb. 22nd
What to bring with you:
Non breakable water bottle (stay hydrated)
- A handle for your rattle (approximately 1/2" to 3/4" diameter at one end which will fit into the head of your rattle) Handles can be made of many types of materials so be creative and choose something that has resonance and feels comfortable in your hand.
