His Hand Drum Workshops are available for youth grades 5-6 (age 10) through adult. In these drum workshops, you will not only learn how to make your own drum but you will learn about the ways of life and the culture of the American Indian peoples.
Drum circles, yoga, reiki, and shamanic teachers and practitioners, hand drum and meditation groups will love this teaching. You will also learn the significance of the hand drum in Indian culture. The drum is used with singing and dancing and healing ceremony. The drum can help us heal from physical, spiritual illness and help to lessen anxiety, stress, and maintain good health.
Drumming with an elkhide drum is a healing process. When we drum, we can let our body and spirit become one with the drum, and as the vibration moves through our body, healing begins. It is good medicine.
