Prayer in Rhythm:
A Drum Making Ceremony
Welcome
Prayer in Rhythm is not just a workshop, it is a ceremonial journey.
In this sacred container, we gather in circle to birth hand drums in reverence, creativity, and connection. Through guided ritual, earth honoring practices, and intentional creation, you will craft your own drum as a living vessel of prayer...one that carries your voice, your heartbeat, and your medicine.
This is a return to rhythm. A remembering of ancient ways. A call to reconnect with your hands, your spirit, and the pulse of Pachamama.

The Spirit of the Drum
The drum is not just a musical tool, it is an ancient, living spirit. When you create your own drum with your hands, breath, and prayer, it becomes a mirror of your soul and a companion on your path. The drum helps regulate the nervous system, connect to your voice, and invite healing for yourself and the world around you.
Each beat is a prayer. Each rhythm a thread of connection. When paired with your voice, the drum becomes a force of personal and collective transformation, carrying intention, emotion, and spirit through sound.
