Seekers, are you looking to continue your transformational journey in 2024?
Come join us for our first ever drum making workshop led by expert drum maker and spirit guided healer, Zelda Hotaling (Haudenosaunee).
In this full day workshop you will:
Birth a 14" drum from start to finish
Intuitively select the section of the skin for your drum
Release old beliefs which no longer serve you
Invite your inner child to come out and play
Drumming has always been, and continues to be, an important part of First Nations ceremonies, traditions and cultural practices. Drumming is considered sacred amongst Indigenous peoples, representing the heartbeat of people, animals and Mother Earth herself. The drum represents the universal heartbeat of Mother Earth, the Universal goddess and mother to us all. Drumming facilitates healing and realignment of the four realms of human existence (Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and Physical) and provides the opportunity for spiritual journeying.
Participants will be guided by Zelda in an intuitive manner whereby the appropriate animal skin (deer, elk, buffalo) will connect with you to support your spiritual journey. Indigenous peoples have traditionally looked to animals and the gifts they bestow as integral to healing and holistic wellness in their personal and community lives.
Participants will be guided by Zelda Hotaling, who was raised under the influence of the Haudenosaunee Native American Culture. Her family resides on the Kahnawaka Mohawk reservation in Canada. Renowned for her diverse talents, she shines as an intuitive spirit guide, healer, author, visionary, and creator of the Sacred Dream Circle Project. Her lineage is a vibrant tapestry, seamlessly merging her Native American roots with influences from various cultures, bound together by ancestral traditions.
Participants will be assisted by Tammy L Sands. Tammy is the founder of Lightness of Being ~ Mind, Movement, Advocacy & Vision. Tammy strives to bridge the gap between the health of people and the health of the planet as well as provide agency for the equity and empowerment of ALL living entities.
