A drum is a very personal experience. The sound/music that you create comes from your intention, your sacred wishes, and your dedication to being the best person you can be. You create the relationship. It touches your vibration, the vibration of the drum, and the vibration of your surroundings. Together you become one and the healing happens.

As easy as this is to say, instruction and guidance is needed. Dancing Feather and Clyde Wood will guide you through this process. Dancing Feather will gather the hides, the rims, the bowls, and the tools. You can buy special crystals, stones, beads, feathers, and totems here, but you are encouraged to bring your own. As soon as you decide to come to this event, it begins. Your world will take you to the special items that will be part of your drum and of course you may find your sacred items here. These items contribute to the special healing quality of your drum. In this way, your drum can also be a rattle.

Dancing Feather, Clyde Wood and Amy are powerful medicine people who will hold the energetic space for you through the offering of good energetically blessed food, powerful transformative instruction and a direct connection with Mother Earth. Become part of Mother Earth and create from her being your sacred healing drum.
