Craft your own medicine drum
1-2 February 2025
Kioloa, NSW
"My drum is so beautiful and really sings to me of my ancestry. I walked out of the workshop and back into my life with a full cup"🙏 – Monica, Canberra
Crafting a medicine drum, also called a frame drum or shamanic drum, is a beautiful, personal journey.
As you create your drum, you have the opportunity to weave in a story or event in your life that you wish to heal from or wish to embrace. It can be a deep, cathartic process, but can also be a lot of fun!
Playing the drum is a great experience as the energy of its vibrations can create healing or it can be used for a meditative drum journey. Or just play it anytime for a great sound!
