Shamanic Drum Crafting Ceremony ✦ 7-8th March 2026 (Nashua, NSW)

$200.00

Step into a space of creativity, ritual, and deep connection with your own sacred instrument. In this intimate ceremony, you will be guided through the process of crafting a 16-inch Kangaroo Hide Medicine Drum and Beater, infusing each piece with your intention, energy, and personal medicine.

These gatherings honour both individual expression and collective support, offering a quiet, nourishing container where you can slow down, engage with natural materials, and explore the symbolic language of the Drum. Every detail, from the hide to the beater, becomes an extension of your unique journey.

Each session includes materials and ceremonial guidance. Special hide requests (deer, goat) can be accommodated with advance notice.

This is a rare opportunity to craft a lifelong companion that carries your intention, creativity, and connection — a personal tool for ceremony, reflection, and sacred practice.
