The timelines of drum preparation
Contacts to order materials from
take home 1 hoop and deer hide in which to teach your first pupil the art of making a drum
Practicals-
We will meet for a weekend to learn these tools as well as the practicals of actually making a drum, teaching someone to make a drum, sourcing/ buying materials, storage of materials….Business support, and more.
The second weekend may also include a drum circle, including a ‘plant medicine’ journey (we will co-create this as a group using either cacao, mugwort, nettle for eg!) .
You will have access to my drum and beater making videos, my online drum courses and my New Paradigm Business course.
You will get to make 2 drums- one on each weekend alongside learning the skills needed to teach.
There will be some reflective homework between the weekends, and a telegram/WhatsApp group for support, I encourage you to practice your skills- run a group or 1-1 teaching, 3 group zoom calls to allow you to ask questions or discuss how your practice has been, share on the homework assignments, and there will be evaluations of your skills during the weekends together. You will have 3 months after the last weekend to complete homework.
Things to consider-
Ideally applicants have made a drum with me previously. Whilst if you haven’t made a drum, this shouldn’t be a block to applying, it’s worth considering why you want to teach drum making if you haven’t yet made one yourself.
Are you a natural teacher, do you already hold space for groups or 1-1’s?
Are you acquainted with shamanic practices, journeying, meditation?
Do you have finances to invest in this training- and drum material stock? (see prices here– I will offer wholesale prices to students)
Do you have somewhere to teach from, and to store materials?
