Had a wonderful weekend with [url]Steven Ash[/url], making a shamanic drum and rattle (this could probably go in the Shamanism forum but for me this is more part of sound healing so am putting it here). Although I have already made myself a drum last December, which was a great experience, this was even more profound and deep, and I want to continue to find out more about my drum (which is drying out nicely and is making a wonderful sound :-)) and ways to use it.
If anyone wants to explore drum-making (Native American style) and playing, [url]Steven Ash's book[/url] is really good and has CD with it.

Probably better here. Steven Ash doesn't say it's shamanic, does he?
Well, Steven is a shaman and this workshop as well as the whole sacred drumming practitioner training is in the context of the Native American medicine wheel and shamanism.

Okay. I didn't see that on the website. Who did he train with? And what shamanism did you do on the workshop? (I'm often being asked about other practitioners, so it's useful to know.)

As far as I understand Steven studied for 20+ years from various Native American medicine men. So far this weekend we have been making the drum and the rattle, opening the drum, beginning to work with the medicine wheel.

Okay. Thanks.
