With Mia Luz (the drum doula), Amy Mermaid, and Lance

You're invited to this sacred Rattle Making ceremony!

Join Lance and Amy Mermaid Isakov along with Mia Luz in a special rattle-making workshop at 7 Starts Medicine Lodge in Phoenixville, PA.

Working with the medicine of Elk, we will craft traditional rattles for ceremonial and healing use.

Rattles are found in cultures all over the world and are used much like sacred sage, cedar, and other clearing herbs to break up and clear negative energies to surround and lift us up spiritually.

The flow of the day

Once sacred space has been opened and everyone has voiced their presence in the circle ,we will receive the materials for bringing these tools through.

The first step is to make the holes and sew them together. We will be filling them with sand to take the desired shape and let them dry while we share a potluck meal and participate in an Andean-inspired Despacho ceremony for all the blessings in our lives.

The final step of assembling the rattles and exchanging the sand for corn will tie the day together. You will leave with a new healing instrument to help restore the dream of Pachamama to all her children.

Who is this for?

This ceremony is open to everyone, especially those who have never had this kind of experience.

About your guides, Mia, Amy & Lance

About Mia

After a lifelong interest in spirit and the healing arts together with a strong connection to our Earth mother, it was natural for me to find my way to the birthing of the sacred drum. Deep-rooted studies of Shamanic Earth-based traditions from all around the world fortified my path and sent out the call.    

I have creatively worked with my hands since childhood, always using natural, raw materials, which easily translated into this craft. The first time I tied a drum with the Ojibwe Elders I had a strong deep sense it was not the first time I was making a drum, I knew it had been in my being for lifetimes. 

Blessed with the craft and the offerings of mama Gaia I’m able to put forth these sacred instruments and healing tools and share them with the world. Connecting and sharing with souls on the path, it has been an honor to support many others in the birthing of their own medicine drums, rattles, and sacred tools.
