The drum is a part of native heritage from tribal cultures all over the world. This single sided drum is crafted using a wooden hoop or frame and a stretched rawhide head and lacing. Covered on only one side, the back is laced to form the symbol of a medicine wheel with the four cardinal directions that also serve as a hand hold. Great for drumming circles and meditation!
In this workshop you will be supplied everything you need to create your own frame drum and accompanying beater. While you are making your creations Valarie and Ian will teach you the care and feeding of your drum, as well as how to use them in healing and cleansing ceremonies.
We will begin with a Drum Journey to connect to the Heartbeat of the Drum, and then start the process of creating our drums and beaters. After creating the drum, we’ll celebrate its birth with a special ceremony. Birthing a drum is an intense process, one not easily forgotten. Create this medicine item in the Silverlake Nature Center and outside on the beautiful grounds! More info HERE

The workshop will be followed by a poetry-based open mic (no instruments unless it supports the poetry). Participation not required, but is encouraged. Reading another’s work is acceptable, so feel free to bring in your favorite poet!
Bio:
Kristopher Varga has been writing poetry for more than a decade, having etched out nearly 2,000 poems. Finally, his first collection of poetry, “When I Wake Another”, is in the process of publication. Also being a Reiki Master and Temple Film graduate, he works full time in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, which he has found to be the most rewarding and challenging work in his life.
