Drums are the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Please be sure to wear your play clothes, since we will be staining the drum frames and there is water involved with stretching the hide. This is an all-day event. We take a one-hour lunch break and small breaks during the day. These drums have a nice, deep tone suitable for journeying, meditation, and fun at a drum circle.
$100 Deposits are required one month before the workshop. There are no refunds. If you should need to cancel, you may apply your entire deposit to a drum created by Spirit Rising, or as a credit for other items that we sell.
The remaining balance is due at the workshop.

Deer - Opens the heart chakra. The gentle spirit of the deer teaches us to follow its example in unconditional love, kindness and trust.
Elk - Gives the stamina, endurance & ability to pace yourself as you go through the edges from the known to the unknown. The vibration of elk opens the third chakra, the solar plexus.
Horse - takes its rider between realms & is the embodiment of living in balance with all realms & people. Horse teaches us that the gateways to power are compassion, caring, teaching, loving & sharing our gifts.
$100 Deposits are required one month before Spirit Drum Creation workshops. There are no refunds. If you must cancel, please give us 24 hours' notice! Once we put the hides into the water, they must be made the next day.
The cancelation policy on drum birthing workshops depends on how much notice you give:
- 24 hours' notice - we will reschedule you at our convenience.
- Less than 24 hours' notice - we will build the drum for you. You can pay the balance due & shipping to receive it or use your deposit as store credit for any of our items within 60 days of your scheduled workshop. Store credit not used within 60 days will be considered a donation to Spirit Risings travel funds.
- We will only reschedule you one time.
