Experience the magic of birthing your own medicine drum with your very own love, passion & energy entwined in its being. The creation of the drum is a Sacred act, bringing deeper awareness to your own creative process in which we honor the animal whose hide we are working with, the tree, the journey and the gift of life itself.
The drum making process is a birth of the Self, an opportunity to bear witness to the unravelling and re-weaving of your heart-song and spirit path.
Led by the four directions, we will delve into time-honored Sacred ways and follow the guidance of the center altar and the medicine wheel.
As a final passage, I will drum over each newly born drum to pass on the transmission gifted to me by the Original Mother of Drums, holding ancient codes for a new time.
We will be making your choice of a 14”, 16" or 18" round horse-hide drum with salvaged yellow cedar frame and the mallet.

“I am so honored to have been able to work with drumdoula Mia Luz in bringing my medicine drum to life. The drum birthing ceremony was one of the most special experiences I have ever taken part in. I am in complete awe of all of the wisdom, reverence, and sacred medicine involved in the process and I’m so grateful that that lives on through my unique drum. Mia is a steward of the medicine of the drum doing incredible work to share it in the good way.

HORSE MEDICINE
Nobility, strength, grace, freedom
The Horse is a powerful and energetic spirit guide with many abilities. Nobility, strength, grace, vital force, beauty and freedom are all qualities they behold.
The horse is an animal that we often find alongside man, and in many fields. Historically, it accompanied warriors and knights, it could pull and drive a chariot, it helped with work and productivity in agriculture... In short, these are animals that have contributed to the improvement of our civilization all over the world. Being a potent bridge carrying us between realms. Supporting us in Spiritual warfare. It guides us into having resilience and vitality, nurturing our well-being and helping to relieve stress or anxiety through challenging times.
The nature of natural hide
Rawhide as it is a living material and comes from wild animals, it will not be uniform in thickness or perfect in looks. There will be scarring, cut marks, and occasionally a hole near the edge of the round. Know that these imperfections do not compromise the voice of your drum. Consider any tiny flaws to be the spirit and story of that particular animal. This is their spirit voice speaking once again. The vibration, energy and sound is what holds the powerful medicine they offer.
Hides are a byproduct; no animal is ever killed for the rawhide.
