What's Included

" I have just spent the most wonderful weekend making a Medicine Drum with Tamaryn. She is a master drum maker, and a very patient and nurturing teacher. I love the venue, the nourishing food, the beautiful participants, and the journey of creating my drum - from choosing my hide and hoop, stringing and weaving, and then the awakening ceremony. I felt like I was in safe hands the whole time and I couldn't be happier with my creation. Thank you Tamaryn - Can't wait to do it again."

Step onto the path of Resonant Sound Healing Today
Meet your Guide and Space Holder
Hi I'm Tamaryn, I have been journeying with Spirit Drums for over 23 years and have made hundreds of drums myself and guided hundreds of people through the journey of birthing their own Resonance Healing Drum.
​
Birthing a Sacred Creation like a Spirit Drum into being, is a journey of Remembrance, of reconnecting to that innate part of yourself that "knows" your connection to Nature and all of life. It is really just the beginning of the journey, for once you have birthed and awakened your Spirit Drum, you step onto a path of discovering the gifts she has to offer.
​
Your drum will be your teacher, your guide, if you can quiet your mind and listen, listen with your heart, and allow yourself to simply be.
​
The ever-expanding Power of Resonant Sound, constantly amazes me, and the Spirit Drum's capacity to take me to the places within myself that I am ready to discover and embody is a journey that must be experienced to be known.
​
May you allow yourself the gift of Sound, of Connection and of the Resonant Beating of your own Heart Beat.
