Drum Creation Workshop

Create a shamanic drum and work with the ancestors. 

We have been working with drums since the beginning of sound.  Zoe Allison-Rockingbear has been making drums for many years, and found them a beautiful way to contact our ancestors, for healing, for traveling, and for answers to our questions.

Participants will make a one-sided shamanic drum. The hides will be either deer or elk, and the drum size is 13 inches wide by 3 inches deep. 

Drum creation work is intense, and you will finish your drum that day. Participants will sit on the floor, so dress comfortably and bring a cushion to sit on.  

All supplies are included with your registration. The workshop total is $175 payable to mayanrecordkeeper@live.com, with $65 due in advance to pay for supplies. Please bring cash on the day of creation.

Please bring:

• a small handful of cornmeal for your ancestors
• two towels
• a sharp knife (no box cutters)
• chopsticks
• a large plastic bag
• a pencil or pen
• wooden clothespins
