Drum Making Workshop with Jen McSweeney :
When you have the opportunity to make your own drum this sacred process is very unique and personal.
The ultimate intention is to make a drum that you love, one that makes your heart sing.
Your drum becomes an extension of your heart and the drum beater an extension of your will, your life’s purpose.
Your drum will connect to those and the space around you, with the intention of always being played with love and your higher purpose.
The drum making process is inclusive of ceremony and ritual to honour your loving creation.

General info on Jennifer McSweeney :
Over the past 25 years I have loved using the drum energy for Space Clearing and energy healing with clients. In the early years I used a drum that was gifted to me, I never thought I would become a drum maker. Overall, the drum energy is very powerful and humbling to work with to transform energy with love and for a higher purpose.
10 years ago I started making medicine drums after I was gifted some drum rings and Deer hides from a dear friend. Creating drums was an exploration of my talents and skills and weaving these with childlike wonder and my spiritual practice. Yes I was open and happy to explore the drum making process just like I had done when I started playing the drums.
Throughout this journey many signs have appeared reinforcing that I am meant to be playing and making these sacred instruments. I look forward to sharing my love & skills with you throughout your
drum making journey.
