ÞRYMSKAPR: DRUM CREATION Jacob Hee Lund of Heilung Jacqui Alberts of Hyldyr $350

(Registration Closed)

Connect intimately with one of the world’s oldest, most powerful and mystical instruments by creating one with your own hands.

Jacob Lund, of Heilung, and Seattle based artist Jacqui Alberts will guide you in building your own 18” elk hide ritual-drum.

Begin with a guided drum-meditation and journey to meet the spirit of your new drum companion. We will set an altar with offerings and perform an opening ritual to set sacred space and intention, followed by Jacob’s meditative drumming to accompany you through a 20 minute immersive experience. Come prepared to lay or sit comfortably on the floor for this segment, PLEASE BRING A MAT, AMINAL FUR, OR BLANKET to lay on. Let us know if you need to borrow something.

There will be time to decorate our drum frames with art, runes, symbols or messages.

Then, learn a traditional technique for stretching animal skin around a wooden frame to complete your living drum.

This new drum is yours to keep! It will be ready to play in 2-3 days, and a great tool to have in applying methods and techniques learned in Jacob’s “Ancient Drumming” Course held on Saturday 23 March.

All materials and tools are sourced ethically and with respect from an indigenous owned supplier in the US, and included in the price of this class.
