We are offering a discount of $25.00 if you register with us by May 1st 2022!
Everyone will need to be registered by May 9th 2022
We learn in Shamanic and Native American Traditions that our Women are the ones that bring life into this World and connect us to the Heart Beat of Mother Earth.
(This event is not just for our Mom's but for everyone that is called to connect with their own personal power and the Heartbeat of Mother Earth)
Background of Ritual DrumsWhen we look at all the Cultures of the World, we all have a Drum, Dance, and Song. In Shamanic Traditions the Drum and Rattle is the most Sacred and wide used among Medicine People/Shamans. It is our access point to the World of our True Self/Soul, Spirit, The Cosmos or Shamanic Worlds, and Our Heartbeat.
In Shamanic Traditions World Wide the drum and rattle are the first sounds of Creation and our Heart Beat. Think about when you where born what was the first sound you heard, Your Mother's Heart Beat? Just hearing the sound of the drum provides healing to our Mind, Body, and Spirit, and brings us back into balance to the sounds of Creation, Our Mother, and Mother Earth.
Bruce Whitewolf (Seva) & Jennifer Jaguar Moon (Amrit) have guided many people into the Healing Drum Journey. "With working with the drum, it teaches us stillness, control, about our own life and Community Connections. The drum is a Circle and so we also live in a Circle!"Bruce Whitewolf (Seva)
Materials we useAll drum materials are treated with Spiritual Respect of the Animals and Trees we use. Before we host our drum workshops, Seva and Amrit do a Special Honoring and Thank You Ceremony to honor the Animals and Tree Spirits we work with.
Shamanic and Native American Meaning of DrumsThe best size drum to make is either 15 inch or 18 inch. This will give you the best sound. Sometimes for kids we make smaller drums, and can even go larger for each person's needs. But the most common are 15 and 18 inch.
How to pick your drumWe use Deer, Elk, Cow, Buffalo, Moose, Horse, and sometimes can get a hold of Bear
Based on the above drum choices... Close your eyes and does one of these animals call to you? If so now think about your personal meaning of that Animal. Exp. if you said Buffalo calls to me, how would you describe buffalo or what do you think of when you think of buffalo? This is your personal medicine of that Animal Spirit. You might have 20 Shamans working with the Medicine of Buffalo. But they all might have different power and meaning.
Also when we look at traditions around the world there might be similar teachings about each animal. Below is a basic understanding of each drum. But remember this is your power and the drum and animal will talk to you, and it is also about what powers you put into the drum.
Deer- teaches us about stillness, being gentle, love, and slowing down in our lifeElk- Long and Steady, Self Empowerment, Personal Goals, asking for helpHorse- Running Wild and Free SpiritedBuffalo- Connection to Ancestors, Native American Medicine Drum, Community, Putting others FirstMoose- Gentle but very Strong, Pushing things out of our way that does not serve us, making decisions on your own Cow- connection to Gaia, Mother Earth, Fertility, Birth, NurturingBear- Keeper of Dream World and Letting Go
Many shamans also have other Spirit Animals. For exp. my main power animals is a Wolf and Hawk. However I have a Buffalo Drum to Honor The Ancestors and Native American Energies. But I had painted a Wolf and Hawk on my drum.
If you have any questions on how to choose the right drum for yourself please reach out to Bruce Whitewolf (Seva).
