SHAMANIC DRUM


Making a shamanic drum
The International School of Sonotherapy accompanies you in the birth of your shamanic drum over the course of a day in a small group of maximum 4-6 people.
The drum is called shamanic because it is charged with the energies of the spirit of the animal chosen to make the drum and of the person who will give birth to it. It carries your intentions. He invites you to travel to other realities. It’s also a companion that requires taming, learning and initiation. Giving birth to a shamanic drum is a fascinating process. It allows you to imbue this object, a true extension of yourself, with your vital energy and make it the tool and companion of choice for your meditations and treatments. The drum and the mallet are symbolic objects representing the masculine and feminine in each of us. Making your own drum is an opportunity to check your position in each of these polarities.
How the training works:

Our trainer will contact you before the training session, then connect with you to choose the skin that suits you best. You can also talk to him if you have a pet preference.
