Shamanic Medicine Drum Birthing Ceremony
Would you like to make a Shamanic Medicine Drum in a Sacred Ceremony?
Make your own Medicine Drum in Ceremony
Hello Beautiful People!
Amy Mermaid Isakov and I are delighted to be hosting our friend Mia Luz, Shamanic Drum Doula, for a very special Medicine Drum Birthing Ceremony this Summer.
We last hosted this workshop back in 2021, and it was truly a beautiful gathering - people coming together in ceremony, hands working with hide and cedar, and a circle of newly born drums sounding their very first heartbeat together.
We are so happy to welcome Mia back.
This will be an in-person outdoor ceremony held on Valley Forge Mountain (Phoenixville, PA) where you will create your own Shamanic Medicine Frame Drum.
This is not simply a craft workshop. It is a ceremony - a chance to bring a drum into being with your own hands, breath, intention, and spirit.
(The exact address will be shared upon registration.)
From Mia, the Drum Doula:
Experience the magic of birthing your own medicine drum with your very own love, passion & energy entwined in its being. The creation of the drum is a Sacred act, bringing deeper awareness to your own creative process in which we honor the animal whose hide we are working with, the tree, the journey and the gift of life itself.
The drum making process is a birth of the Self, an opportunity to bear witness to the unravelling and re-weaving of your heart-song and spirit path.
Led by the four directions, we will delve into time-honored Sacred ways and follow the guidance of the center altar and the medicine wheel.
As a final passage, I will drum over each newly born drum to pass on the transmission gifted to me by the Original Mother of Drums, holding ancient codes for a new time.
We will be making your choice of a 14", 16" or 18" round horse-hide drum with salvaged yellow cedar frame and the mallet.
Hides are a byproduct; no animal is ever killed for the rawhide.
If this pulls on a heartstring…
If you feel the quiet call of a drum waiting to be born through you…
