2 DAY
SHAMANIC DRUM CREATION & INITIATION CEREMONY
Shamanic hand drums have been used for centuries by different cultures around the world in meditation or in ceremonial rituals to connect with the spirit world. People occasionally refer to the shaman drum as a spirit drum or heart drum, names that may reference how they help connect people with the spirits and the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
The deep, steady rhythm of the drum is said to draw the shaman into a trance-like state. While in this altered state of consciousness, the shaman functions as an intermediary between the natural and spirit worlds. They can move spirits or spiritual energies from the spirit world to the natural world, where they can be used for mending physical or emotional wounds or for other purposes.
To craft your own drum, is a sacred and beautiful process. Often representing a profound manifestation on ones spiritual path.
All drums connect us to Mother Earth, to her heart and the rhythm, and pulse of the Earth. To play the drum is an honor. Touch your drum and play with a sense of sacred appreciation and awareness. Do not beat the drum. Play with it and communicate with it as it communicates through you by Spirit. This is the sacredness of your relationship.

Marta
Marta has been walking the shamanic path for over 10 years and her first approach was with the Shamanic drum. From there she became more and more connected with the instrument and with her own life journey. Today Marta leads circles of women and men who want to undertake their life journey in a more conscious way through the Shamanic Path and all thanks to the strength of the alliance with the drum. This weekend she will accompany you in the profound connection with yourself and with Mother Earth to manifest it in your own Shamanic drum and then recognize your own spirit and heartbeat in it.
