Make Your Own Frame Medicine Drum with the Drum Doula

Frame drum lovers, or those curious about making your own drum…

Are you just beginning to explore this exquisite path (medicine/medium/instrument) or has your life already been enriched by its connection and it’s time to make another?

Playing the frame drum enriches in such beautiful ways—grounding, connecting even more deeply with Truth and spiritual life. It offers unexpected access to creativity and intuition, not to mention the deep communing with others that happens through drumming.

Mia Luz (aka The Drum Doula) holds a powerful circle that is simultaneously playful and joyous, as well as profound. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “maker” or “creative” being, come as you are! You will not regret it.

Experience the magic of birthing a medicine drum with your very own love, passion & energy entwined in its being. Connect with the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the spirit world to discover your true self. 

You will learn some basic shamanic traditions and rituals and as a final passage, Mia will drum over each newly born drum to pass on a transmission that was gifted to her by the Original Mother of Drums.

Think of your new drum as a magic carpet ride that inspires visualizations, a deep meditative state, and ecstatic trance experiences. Spiritual transmissions and receptivity, as well as synchronization of your brain waves by putting you in a Theta state, too? Indeed, yes.

Whether you are called to create or sing medicine songs, or you want to work with your drum for auditory (or sonic) “driving,” the drum you will birth with Mia will be one of the greatest gifts and relationships of your life.
