Shamanic Drum & Rattle Workshops

Lisa’s workshops are more than crafting sessions; they are soulful experiences bridging the tangible and the metaphysical, offering a transformative journey into the realms of ancient wisdom.

Unveil the Ancient Magic of Hand Drums to Explore the Rhythmic Tapestry of your Life.

Dive into the captivating world of hand drums, where echoes of history reverberate through the ages. These incredible instruments aren’t just timeless; they predate the very foundations of agriculture, painting a vivid picture of our ancestral connection to rhythm and melody.

What’s truly fascinating is that hand drums, in their various forms, have transcended cultural boundaries. From the rhythmic pulse of ancient civilizations to the beats echoing through contemporary societies, their fundamental form and function have stood the test of time. It’s a testament to the universal language of rhythm that connects us all.

Upcoming Shamanic Workshops

Make your own ancient instrument, a Shamanic Drum or Medicine Rattle to play to your own natural rhythms and shake, rattle, roll and drum to your heart’s content.

Creating a drum or medicine rattle is prayer and ceremony in itself. The spiritual, physical and emotional support we offer makes this a remarkable day in your life which will never be the same again.

You will have your own hand made ancient instrument which can connect you to SOUL.

Workshops are held almost every month. Bookings through Eventbrite.

If there are no upcoming workshops at the time you are looking, be sure to contact Lisa via email at lisa@geomancingthestone.com or phone 0474 492 035 to find out about the next one.

The Benefits of Drumming

Are you feeling sluggish, scattered, or overstimulated?

Drumming can help with both ends of the energy spectrum; calming or invigorating, depending on the rhythm.

Scientific studies show that our brainwaves naturally sync with the beat of a drum.

Slow rhythms: help relax the nervous system, ease anxiety, and restore calm.

Faster beats: stimulate brain activity, enhancing clarity, confidence, and vitality.

Here’s how regular drumming can support your overall well-being:

Mental & Cognitive Benefits

Crafting Your Shamanic Tools: Drum and Rattle Workshops

Embark on a transformative journey as you craft your own Drum or Medicine Rattle in our immersive workshops. This hands-on experience is not just about crafting an instrument; it’s a personal journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Ancient Future Drum Workshop:

Spend a day bringing an Ancient Future Drum to life. Let it be a bridge between ancestral wisdom and the rhythms yet to come. Infuse your creation with intention, weaving the heartbeat of the past with the possibilities of the future. As it takes form, you’ll experience moments of stillness, joy, and deep inner connection. When your drum is ready to play, its voice will carry not only your spirit, but the timeless song of both ancient and future worlds.

Shamanic Drum Workshop:

Spend a day creating your unique Shamanic Drum, an extension of your spirit. Personalize both the female and male (beater) aspects of the drum. As your drum dries, you’ll find joy, relaxation, and a deeper connection within. The therapeutic benefits, from reducing chronic pain to boosting intuition and the immune system, unfold when your personally crafted drum is ready to play.

Medicine Rattle Workshop:

Craft your Medicine Rattle, a sacred tool that resonates with your energy. Decorate it once dried, adding your personal touch. This process brings happiness and a sense of connectedness. The energy infused during creation enhances the therapeutic uses of your rattle throughout its lifetime.

Prayer Tie Personalization:

Bring a tiny, special item for your prayer tie, infusing it with your unique essence. This not only adds your own medicine to the Shaman Tool but creates a meaningful gift for your Drum’s Birthday, enhancing its energetic resonance.

Everything you need for these workshops is provided. Immerse yourself in the benefits of drumming, and discover the profound impact of crafting your own Shamanic Drum or Medicine Rattle. Thank you for joining us on this journey of self-discovery and creation.


Praise for Drum Workshops

What a great day had making my 2nd Drum with my daughter to bring in my 48th year in a Personal 9 year. I made my first drum back in my Fertility years and always felt drawn to making more to honour my cycling changes as a woman. It was such a sweet experience to watch my daughter make her first drum under the guidance of Lisa. The process from start to finish for her was huge to say the least and to be privileged to watch her transform an absolute honour. Making a drum is a process that cant be rushed and boy oh boy comparing to my first experience making a drum where there was so much going on in my head chatter to then making this one some 11years later, I am so so aware of my growth as a human and woman based on how navigating the frustrations, setbacks and feelings around this beauty (especially asking for help.) Lisa you are a true gem and you emanate a beautiful heart housed within your soul. Thank you for taking the sweetest time with us on the weekend.

If you're seeking the next step in your spiritual journey, connecting with Mother Earth and the constellations of your life pattern, then Lisa’s guidance is invaluable. She is an absolute miracle in connecting to your sharmic medicine-self journey. My Kangaroo Skin Drum is proving to be an essential in daily life. Making my Medicine Drum with my daughter at Lisa’s workshop was invaluable wisdom and knowledge. It has been the highlight of connecting to our inner medicine wheel. So much gratitude, thank you Lisa!

Lisa, I asked a few friends this morning if they would join me although, I found out they have already made a drum with you - they all couldn't recommend you enough and spoke highly of your workshops 🤍🌞

At the end of August 2021, I made a beautiful drum with Lisa Drury from Geomancing the Stone . Lisa held us all so deeply during the whole process.
Debbie Wilson-Smith
When you take a workshop with Lisa, you feel the connection she has with making these healing tools. Every part of it is a spiritual journey to connect you with what you are creating. From beginning to end, it was a truly unique experience and I look forward to attending another workshop soon. Oh, my goodness I love my drum so much, thank you so much for being so wonderful, it was a really good day.
Tina Squires
I was blessed to attend one of Lisa's drum making workshops. The whole day, from beginning to end was just magical. It began by setting our intentions and giving thanks before working. All of the materials are ethically sourced, maintaining the integrity of the workshop. Lisa's patient teaching style and passion for her craft was amazing. I felt supported and confident the whole way. By the end of the day I had a gorgeous new healing drum that I had proudly made myself. Thank you Lisa. You are an amazing soul, such a blessing to this world. I am forever grateful.
Leah Gooding

I'm totally in love with my drum and the sacred process Lisa took us through in honouring the skin was inspiring. Also - Lisa's super patient with everyone so we all walked away feeling incredibly proud of what we achieved.
