Enjoyed this very much. So glad I was able to participate with these amazing people!!!

Angela and Mike were the most patient, gentle guides in birthing my first drum. I highly recommend them as guides whether it's your first time or your a seasoned builder. They made the experience fun, intimate, and absolutely magical!

In this space of deep introspection and anchoring into all that is within me to express, Angela and Mike held the perfect space for us. Our session absolutely magical as we all learned about this ancient process and ourselves. As this is my second drum baby, i appreciate how I tune with Spirit they are and how this connection supported/s my connection and journey as well!

I really and truly enjoyed the creation of my drum. I’ll be making more with them in the future!

To date the Drum Birthing workshop that Angela and Mike host is my favorite healing ceremony of all time! They give so much of their time and attention to each individual. The ceremony and care they share is pure medicine! Each time I play my drum I think of them and the magic they are creating in this world. Thank you!

Whippoorwill Farms in its self is an amazing place. Not only is it an eco-friendly farm, but the events they hold at their place are great.
The Spirit Drum making workshop was totally exciting, fun, informative and would sign up for it again if Angela and Michael from Spirit Rising come back to Whippoorwill Farms.
The workshop was laid back and at the end very rewarding when your medicine drum was completed.

Very good

Angela and Mike you bring so much good energy to the drum workshop. Helping me and the other particpants create our own medicine through these drums is pure love energy. Thank you for creating this space for us.

From the moment Mike & Angela arrived to set up, ceremony began. They are two of the kindest, most genuine people I know and they didn't seem to mind my constant questions. Inside, I'm an eight-year-old who wants to know everything about everything. I was honored to take photos of the whole process and even more honored when Angela picked up my camera and took some candid shots of me, hard at work. Their instructions were clear and either or both of them was ready to step in to help if one part seemed to difficult. They were mindful to allow each workshop attendee to have complete autonomy and create the drums by ourselves, so that when we finished we had true works of art to help us on our personal spiritual path. I play my Buffalo Drum every day and it helps me connect with the animal spirit as well as the Great Spirit who dwells within each of us. At the end of the day, each drum builder was given a beautiful tote to carry and protect our drums, the drumsticks we'd made, a tub of Shea butter, and a set of instructions for caring for our drums. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone wishing to own a frame drum because building your own is much different from simply buying a drum that was created by someone else.

Had a great time. People were friendly and having a good time.

There is a sacredness, a medicine, a Magick in the act of taking an animals hide and transforming that piece of its remains into a drum, a rebirth that will carry the heart beat of our Mother in unified rhythm with the beast heart , our heart and the rhythm of all that surrounds us.
As the animal lives on in this reincarnation of the drum build , and we too are better able to feel our connection to Great Spirit through the drum.
Thank you guys for an amazing experience,
My buffalo drum is good medicine for sure

The drum workshop was on my bucket list and working with Angela and Michael was so easy. They gave the space to create my own Elk drum. Its beautiful! I am looking forward to many great ceremonies with this beautiful spirit! Thank you both for getting me in the workshop and helping me realize a dream!

This drum is of very good quality and the tone of it resonates with me as I use it.
