In this workshop you will have the opportunity to learn how to build your own shamanic drum.
We honor these animal skins that after their experience on this planet are recovered and with all respect and integrity are used for the realization of this sacred tool that is the shamanic drum.
This is an object of ancestral power, considered by some cultures, the shaman’s horse, for allowing him to “Ascend to Heaven” and also to take him to the “Center of the World”. The drum thus makes the communication between Heaven and Earth. The drum is also used to connect with our power animal.
The drum beat, through the intention used, can help in the healing and cleansing processes of the human being. Currently, science is interested in the benefits of drum beats and discovers that they allow you to change the hertz frequencies from Beta to Alpha and Theta, thus allowing you to make internal journeys and access Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness.
You will learn with your own hands how to prepare the skin, the most suitable skin types and their functions. You will learn how to use the strings to weave the drumhead and how to shape it properly, as well as the drying process for the drumhead. It will also perform the drum stop, through the selected materials.
All participants will have the facilitator’s personalized support for the drumming.
We use wooden hoops with 30cm, 40cm or 50cm in diameter and natural animal skin (goat).
