Mask making, Drum making, Rattle making and more
Mask making: Creating a mask of your face can be a very empowering process…one that allows and encourages you to look deep within. To strip away the outer, well mask, and reveal the real person within. Most of us have spent our entire lives carefully constructing the mask we present to the world. In this workshop you spend time revealing the hidden you. The physical making of the mask is only the first step to awaken our True face and express it in the world. In the workshop we will discover symbols that tell us where we are on our spiritual path. We will incorporate these symbols into our mask to awaken our authentic self. Through the use of guided imagery, journeying, movement and drumming we will access our inner wisdom face. We will honor the wisdom we have received in an evening fire ceremony, where we will burn our old face,and celebrate our new ones.
Drum making: The beat of the drum is the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and connects us to our own heart. Making a drum is really a transformational journey into our hearts. We’ll do some work with the spirit of our drums and journey to find symbols and how it is to be used in our life. We will also discover the spirit animal of our drum. You will be making a 12″ or 15″ elk or deer-hide frame drum and accompanying beater. The ones pictured below were made in the most recent drum making class. All materials will be provided and are included in the price of the workshop. If you have some special beads or feathers which you’d like to decorate your drum you may also bring them. Early registration is required for this class so that supplies can be purchased.
Rattle Making: SHAKE IT UP! Come, have some fun and make your own dried gourd rattle. We’ll experience a guided meditation to discover symbols and colors for your rattle. After creating the rattle, we’ll celebrate its birth with a special ceremony. All supplies will be provided.
