I’m thrilled to invite you to join me for a special Drum Making Workshop on March 8-9th, 2025. As an Apache, Comanche/Inca Native from Southern New Mexico, I've been crafting drums since 1987 and am honored to be considered a Master Drum Maker. My passion extends beyond drum making, as I also lead Drumming Circles, Moon Lodge Circles, Sound Healing sessions, and Dream Journeys. With three Nammy/Grammy awards and international performances under my belt, I can't wait to share this experience with you.
Class Dates: March 8th and 9th, 2025
When registering, please provide in the notes section of Paypal your contact info along with the size and hide of your drum.
Saturday, March 8th from 9:00am to 1:00pm
We’ll begin with a sacred ceremony where I will smudge everyone and open our circle with a prayer. I'll introduce myself, sharing my journey and the powerful significance of the Drum.
I'll craft a demonstration drum to give you a solid foundation, and then, with my guidance, you will create your own drum. This process is not just about making an instrument; it's about connecting with our heritage and embracing the power of the Drum.
Sunday, August 25th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm
On Sunday, we'll gather for a Drumming Circle to Birth the Drums. This will be the first time you will hear your Drum's voice. It's a profound moment that participants always cherish.
We'll close our circle with a prayer and enjoy a Potluck Feast together, leaving you feeling elated, empowered, and enlightened.
Additional Offerings:
I will also have Drumming and Chanting Thumb Drives available, containing the songs I teach in the Circle, as well as sacred herbs (sage, sweet grass, cedar) and other items for purchase.

Don't miss this special event to create a sacred medicine piece.
Drumming is an ancient practice that promotes healing, self-expression, and well-being. It is thought to boost the immune system, release emotional trauma, and promote reintegration of self. Shamanic Journeying, a gentle meditation, will help you reach new levels of self-understanding and healing.
I’m beyond excited for this very special weekend together.
