Build a Drum...Create a Heartbeat!
Drum Making with Chris and Michelle Cunningham of Tri-Spirit Creations
Drums are used across many cultures
in ceremonies, prayer work, creating music, meditation, and so much more. This workshop is your opportunity to create your own drum, a sacred journey in connection to self.
The drums created in our workshop are as unique as you are. From the size, to the hide itself, no two drums are the same.
When you build a drum, you create a little piece of yourself, a tool that can assist you in connecting to your heartbeat, and the heartbeat of Mother Earth. The heartbeat represents rhythm, the rhythm of life, the flow in which we all live. For me, drums have been an essential tool in reminding me to find daily rhythm.
Chris and Michelle guide you along this sacred journey of building your drum. Two loving souls whose passion is to assist you, offering their insights and wisdom. They create an exceptional experience that is felt deep within your heart and soul. They guide each step of the way in creating your drum!
Chris is from Sucker Creek First Nation and has been a Master Drum Builder for 9 years he learned to build drums from his teacher (Okwaho Leblanc) Lisa Tardiff from Eastern Malecite and Anishinaabe tribes, he also learned from Annie Smith, a drum maker from BC coast and Will Mcleod also from BC. Over the years Chris has also been guided by Treaty 8 Elders and drum makers.
Michelle has been supporting Chris’s dream of getting as many heart beats into the hands of those called to try spirit. Feeling the heartbeat of mother earth is so important in this day and age.
