Sacred Medicine Drum Making Workshop

Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October 2024

Join Leisa for a two-day event of self-discovery as you birth your own sacred medicine drum and learn the art of shamanic journeying.

BIRTHING YOUR DRUM:
Awaken to the deep knowledge of working with the sacred healing medicine of the drum. Connect with your ancestors and spirit allies as you weave your own sacred medicine tool.
The sacred animal and its spirit are honoured through deep Shamanic Ceremony and the infusion of sacred herbs, waters, crystals, divine love and gratitude.

The drum connects us back to ourselves, the rhythm of our own heartbeat, our mother's heartbeat, and the heartbeat of Mother Earth. We instantly connect with the beat of the drum because the heartbeat is the first sound we hear within the womb. When we play or hear the beating of the drum it guides us to this sacred place, the womb of the Mother - the ultimate resting place where we connect, heal, balance and nurture ourselves, connecting deeply to our own heart.
Our 15" hoops are made in Australia and our hides are ethically and sustainably sourced. Our hides are prepared in ancient ceremony and surprisingly, the hide picks its new owner.

Each hide is infused with the magical properties of the crystal kingdom, enhancing its vibration. Leisa will take you through a ceremony to enhance your connection with the hoop and the spirit of the animal that has sacrificed its life to be reborn as a powerful healing tool. Your drum will empower you with each beat upon completion and awaken you to the spirit within. Depending on availability you will have access to either kangaroo or goat skin.

 
SHAMANIC JOURNEYING:
Learn to play your drum for your own benefit and healing, and for those that want to use it in sessions with clients. You will learn several beats, included a trance beat, how to clear energy blockages and a number of journeying tools.

We will come together on Saturday 5th October from 10am till approx 4pm, and again on Sunday 6th October from 10am till approx 2pm at the Urban Cottage, located on Bangerang Country in Shepparton, Victoria, approximately 180kms or 1.5-2hrs north, north-east of Melbourne.

There will be a lunch, bottomless cups of tea, and light refreshments provided on the Saturday, and bottomless cups of tea and light refreshments again on the Sunday (no lunch provided on second day).
