A cauldron of birth in the deep feminine

Dorrie and Elisabeth are opening a long-awaited space for women's drum making: a cauldron of birth in the flow of the deep feminine, the memory of heartbeat, rhythm, hands, wombs, creation. Over one day, held in the warm embrace of Soul Sanctuary, each woman creates her own shamanic frame drum, a soul vessel of belonging.

Everything you make is yours to take home.
