About this event
Do you also feel the deep, mystical connection with the shaman drum? In the open landscape of Spain, we invite you to create your own drum and then ceremonially consecrate it by the sea.
Creating a shaman drum touches something ancient within us. As you work with your hands, the rhythm of the day naturally slows down. Your breath deepens, your attention turns inward, and space is created. Space to feel, to listen, and to connect with yourself, with nature, and with the age-old tradition of the drum.
A drum that you make yourself is carried differently. Every knot, every tension in the skin, every movement of your hands carries your intention. The drum becomes a sacred instrument, a living companion, a tool you collaborate with. A drum that helps you ground, focus, and remember who you essentially are.
During this workshop, you work together with the animal and the tree that intuitively call to you. The animal offers its strength, its heartbeat, and its rhythm. The tree provides the solidity, structure, and wisdom of the earth. Throughout the creation process, we attune to these energies and weave them into your drum. In this way, an instrument is created that truly resonates with you.
A day to create, to feel, and to go home with your own drum.

SACRED DRUM-CEREMONY
When the drums are born, we take them the next day, Sunday, May 3rd, to the beach for a special initiation ceremony at sunrise. The beach is a place where worlds touch: land and sea, the solid and the flowing, the visible and the invisible. In this transitional space, we open a ceremony in which your drum may find its voice for the first time.
With our voices, we connect with the spirit of the drum. We let our breath, our sound, and the initial rhythm come together so that the drum can express its own energy.
Through singing, showing, and drumming, a moment arises when the instrument truly comes to life. The energy of the animal, the strength of the tree, and your own intention begin to resonate together. It is the moment when your drum awakens and your collaboration begins.
A collaboration that can guide you in rituals, meditation, healing, and connection with nature.
Surrounded by the nature of Spain, with the sea and sunrise as witnesses, we take the time for this transition. A moment of silence, gratitude, and deep connection, in which your drum takes its first breath.
