    Family, it is that time of the year where Shamanic Earth Medicine offers our 2 Day Shamanic Medicine Drum Making Ceremony here at our beautiful property at Currumbin Valley on the Gold Coast.

    If the Medicine Drum has called you in the past and you have always wanted to make one, or you have one and find now it is time to create a second Medicine Drum, then maybe it is time to join us for this experience of a lifetime.

WHY THIS DRUM MAKING CEREMONY?

This is not just a Drum Making experience, but 2 full days immersed in ceremony honouring tradition. Opening the space with a unique altar we create as a group. Interwoven through the drum making process is the depth and grace of Peter’s teachings and his lineage of the Sacred hoop of life.

Creating a medicine Drum is a process, a rite of passage when approached with reverence and proper time is allowed to surrender into the creation. We move through the depths of surrendering as you awaken your drum, coming into your own power in this process.

You will learn how to play your drum in the traditional Shamanic ways. We share different drum beats and the purposes of these.
Our medicine drums are of very high quality; the materials we use, and the intricate crafting techniques are clearly apparent in the finished product and in their long term functionality and durability. Our drums stand out as beautiful examples of the complexity, meaning and history expressed through this traditional way of weaving a medicine drum.

A well made medicine drum should stand up to the test of time, Peter has been making medicine drums for over 3 decades, the first drums he made are still in regular use.

Peter’s 35 plus years’ experience have afforded him tricks of the trade to assist you in making a clean and perfectly aligned drum.
Community building, being a 2 day journey where we deepen together through shared meals, sharing wisdom and ceremony.
Unique and personalised drum blessing from Peter to activate your drum. This is such a special process of honouring both you and your Drum

Traditional Storytelling over the weekend further connects you to the lineage of your medicine drum.
