Spirit Drum Making Class

This course will allow you to sacredly craft your own drum. During the afternoon class you will learn the process of drum making, how to honor and raise the spirit of the animal through the drum and ultimately, the healing power of playing your own hand-crafted Spirit Drum.

The drums include beautiful maple wood drum heads in 16”, 18” or 20″ sizes and expertly tanned hides of deer, elk, moose, buffalo, cow, goat or horse. A part of making your own drum is bringing the power of the animal itself through the drum so, take some time to research the qualities and gifts of each animal, then use your intuition to make the right choice for yourself.

Over the course of the day you will participate in each aspect of the sacred ceremony of making a Spirit Drum. You’ll learn how to prepare the drum through a smudging and honoring ritual, how to tune into the consciousness of your drum, how to work with the medicine (power) of your drum, how to honor the spirit of the animal who gave its hide for your drum and the ways to use your drum for ceremony and healing.
