December 4-6, 2026 – Drum Birthing Ceremonial Weekend at Open Hearts Sanctuary in Granbury, Texas
From the moment we gather, we will begin creating a relationship with the materials that will eventually become your drum. Through Earth Ways, elemental awareness, intention, sound, quiet reflection and time together, we will allow the making of the drum itself to become part of the ceremony. ~ Patricia DancingElk Walls
Birth Your Own Sacred Drum
This is more than a drum-making weekend. It is an experience of creation, connection, intention, and remembrance with a drum-maker of 35 years experience to share.
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll bring your own drum into being with your hands, your energy, and your intention—creating something uniquely yours that can accompany you in ceremony, meditation, healing work, journeying, or simply in the rhythm of everyday life.
Come for the experience. Leave carrying a drum you birthed yourself, and a story woven into every beat.
No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to create.
Besides the wealth of experience, food and shared accommodations are included. Participation is limited to 12.
