Making your own sacred drum begins a journey - as you have recreated the sacred musical instrument of ‘Spirit’



Xwalacktun, Internationally Acclaimed Native artist & carver



Drums have been used for thousands of years and by many cultures. The drum beat works as a conduit connecting the resonant sound of the human heartbeat to our Mother Earth’s heartbeat and is a means of healing and awakening ourselves and others as we play it. 



Join us in a sacred circle as Tsawaysia  Spukwus leads us through the process of making our own Sacred Drum while sharing songs and storytelling. Spukwus is a Squamish Nation member, and mother of three children. Her father, Pekultn was a Hereditary Chief from the Seymour Creek area of the lower mainland. Tsawaysia’s mother is a Squamish Nation Elder who has nurtured and guided her family of seven children to participate in all aspects of First Nations culture - language, community, governance, education, traditional art forms, healing, singing, drumming, dancing and storytelling. Her family is strong, committed and active in the preservation of their culture and heritage. With over 20 years working with First Nation communities as an Educator and 15 years delivering Sacred Drum Workshops, Tsawaysia is masterful at bringing innovative learning opportunities to all people. 



Workshop Outline: Sacred Circle, Welcoming Song, Passing of the Eagle Feather, Materials & Instructions, Songs and Storytelling, Talking Circle, Passing the Eagle Feather, Closing Ceremony.
