Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 9am-5pm in Berry, NSW.
Welcome to the transformational ceremony of crafting your own animal skin medicine drum.
This ceremony is a journey within the shamanic cosmology of the Four Winds which is a map of sorts to our awakening – and the many tests challenges and skills we meet along the way. The teachings being shared are to help you better appreciate your private walk with Spirit and the gifts we each carry.
The spirit of the medicine drum is a sacred tool of power which helps us grow into a higher level of self-awareness, and to guide our mind to rest within our heart. The drum brings a sense of grounding, calmness, balance, and healing. It also helps us move, sing, breathe and circulate our energy so we experience more vitality and lightness of being.
Each stage of the crafting process is significant and governed by the wisdoms of the Four Sacred Fires, it is a fascinating journey watching the way we relate (or don’t) to the spiritual teachings afoot within the ceremony.
We are learning through this process to get to know ourselves better and hold our personal power in integrity.
This is a big ceremony, please be prepared and bring your stamina! It is also beneficial to have your intentions clear and be well rested.
Your frame is hand made by Bastian specifically for you - there are many different frame shapes to choose from and sizes. The frames are hand made from Cedar and carry the energies of your personal Ancestors. Bastian makes your frame with intention and connection to your kin and shares any ancestral communication or healing that is given to her during its construction.
There is much loving work and preparation done long before you arrive at the crafting ceremony. And over the day you will pour your energy, love and presence into the making of this beautiful being. A new friend and teacher to take home and empower your life with more passion and purpose.
A little about me: I’ve been working with drums for over 20yrs and practicing shamanism and healing for 30yrs. I love being able to share and experience with others this collective REMEMBERING journey we are in the process of. My passion is found in keeping the old ways, traditional practices & teachings alive and shared for future generations to have stable and trustworthy ground to stand on. It is a strong calling of mine to foster greater connection and communion with Mother Earth/Mother Life so we can all live in perfect love and perfect trust.

Hello Friends
Life changes the moment we begin to see the world as a world of power: energy in motion, flowing through patterns known to modern minds as archetypes and to ancient cultures as gods, goddesses, deities, angels and demons.
Power is everywhere. Every experience we have is shaped by a power dynamic or "power play". The quality of our lives is influenced by how much power we hold, where we give it away, and what has power over us.
Ho'omana is a Hawaiian word meaning empowerment. It speaks to a deeper purpose in life: to empower ourselves, one another, and all of life.
Join me for a shamanic practice day dedicated to reshaping and rebuilding power within your inner landscape because:
All power comes from within.
The Rebellion
The first stage is accessing your passion and naming the places where your values have been crossed, denied, or compromised.
What are you rebelling against, and why?
Together we will open a channel to the planetary power of Venus, guardian of values, worth and self-esteem. Once Venus, one of her many names, is awakened within us, we are ready to rumble.
The Revolution
The second stage is creating the plan: a thoughtful strategy that supports meaningful and lasting change.
We will explore:
The essential art of dropping the baggage through the Ho'oponopono Release Technique.
Engaging the pure intention and mana of the Higher Self.
Breaking resistance to releasing the old self and old order through ritual death and burial practices.
Crafting new myths through shamanic fetish-making, giving symbolic form to the emerging self.
The Re-entry: a shamanic journey to reboot the psyche.
Practical follow-up steps to stabilise the new world order within and learn how to nourish and protect the new Self.
I have designed this day to be as creative, experiential and transformative as possible.
I have no doubt you will find it both informative and inspiring, as I always do when working with traditional wisdom teachings and the roadmaps our ancestors have left for us to follow.
When we empower ourselves and others, we enter into a more loving relationship with Life itself; a relationship that is expansive, joyful and celebratory of all that is, was and ever will be.
This elevated energetic state is known as Altitude. It offers us a way of seeing from the mountaintop, where the view is far removed from the survival instincts, separation and tribalism that dominate the lower centres of awareness. From this higher perspective, we reconnect with our fullest potential and our deepest humanity
Please bring your drum if you have one.
