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
