Medicine Drum Making Workshops

This 1.5 day workshop is designed to support you in crafting your own sacred medicine drum.

We will be connecting with the spirit of the kangaroo whose hide we craft our drums, journeying with our birth stories, how this shows up in our creative process and weaving our personal medicine into our drum as we sit and craft on the land.

Women have been drummers for a long, long time. Often when we first hear the drum it can feel so familiar and crafting our own drum can feel like a remembering.

The frame drum is a pan cultural instrument and sacred tool meaning that it can be found in every continent around the world. Layne Redmond's powerful book "When the drummers were women" gives so much evidence to this with countless ancient paintings, sculptures and art of women all around the world playing the frame drum.

"One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people's consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain and the nervous system are energized and transformed. When a group of people play a rhythm for an extended period of time, their brain waves become entrained to the rhythm and they have a shared brain wave state. The longer the drumming goes on, the more powerful the entrainment becomes. It's really the oldest holy communion."

"Laura has been one of my inspirations with the womancraft arts for some time. Her embodiment of the wild woman ways activate a deep remembrance within me. I knew she would be the ideal guide to have alongside me as I birthed my drum. Laura offers an incredibly rich and nourishing space for all women to fully land and feel safe within. From start to finish she was intuitively on point for when I needed assistance or when I needed space to just be in my process. It truly was a magickal initiation which I am deeply grateful for. I loved learning so many songs and hearing Laura sing from her Heart. I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants an experience full of integrity, love, and true feminine strength."
