At the Solstice Drumming Circle we decided that we were going to
go to the court house in Charlotte on June 26th and drum for healing for the
Gulf of Mexico and all life within and around it. Remember the
grandmothers who stood in the park for peace, similar idea. Here are a
couple of photos from that day.

"Spirit Bags" are made in necklace fashion using 'knotless netting'
technique and waxed linen thread. These bags are used as personal medicine bag,
with totems and power objects attached and placed inside bag.

RATTLES
Rattles /Drums are handcrafted with choice of hides: cow, elk, deer, moose.
We can do individual personalized items incorporating materials, designs, or
elements which you want used in the making, upon request.
We also can do handpainting of rattles and drums to your specification. All gifts
from the animal/plant spirits honored in the creation of these spiritual tools.
Honoring Ceremonies are shared.
WORKSHOPS: Drum-making and Rattle-making
Drums and rattles are very important shamanic tools, used for ceremony, calling
the Spirits, healing work and journeying. Making your own tools for spiritual
practice is very powerful, and a wonderful way to strengthen your connection to
the Spirit World.
We offer workshops on making your own rattles, drums and other personals
