RHYTHM KEEPERS

a women’s drum making journey & workshop

november 16th, 2pm-5pm, Hayden ID 

it has taken me some time to be ready for this workshop, being asked to hold it often, and after developing & understanding my relationship to being the rhythm keeper in my life, my relationship to the animals of this land, and my relationship to the medicine that is drumming

here I am, ready

in this journeyed workshop we will gather together in a comfortable, safe & small group of women and;

- discuss the history and significance of european (and world wide) women drummers ~ and how drumming is entwined into our role as rhythm keepers

- experience a guided meditation, journey of the soul, and sound healing experience related to the making of our drums

- pick out our individual drum sizes, and which hide to construct our drums with 

- with guidance and instruction, craft a beautiful and functional raw hide drum that embodies and enlightens your spirit and your role as a rhythm keeper
