Finding Peace through Drumming This Holiday Season

As the winter solstice approaches and 2024 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank each one of you for being part of our drumming community. Your enthusiasm and openness to exploring the ancient wisdom of shamanic drums has made this year truly special.

Looking back, my heart fills with joy remembering all the magical moments we’ve shared. From guiding enthusiastic drummers through the sacred process of creating their own shamanic drums in our workshops, to meeting kindred spirits at various fairs throughout the year.

Right now, you can find us at the enchanting Tiernatori Christmas Market in Oulu until December 22nd – please stop by to say hello if you’re in the area!

As we enter the quietest time of the year, I’d like to share some ways to incorporate drumming into your holiday season:

• The dark winter days invite us to turn inward, and your shamanic drum can be a perfect companion for this journey. Find a peaceful moment each day to sit with your drum. Let its gentle rhythms quiet your mind and wash away the holiday stress. You might be surprised how even a few minutes of mindful drumming can center your spirit.
• For those who love nature’s embrace, try taking your drum to the forest. There’s something profoundly moving about offering gratitude to Mother Earth through drumming among the snow-covered trees. The winter forest has its own silence, and your drum’s voice becomes a bridge between you and nature’s winter wisdom.
• And remember – drumming brings people together. During family gatherings, why not invite others to join in? Whether you’re sharing drums or simply creating rhythms with whatever you have at hand, collective drumming creates bonds and joy that transcend words.

As we look forward to 2025, I want to wish you all a year filled with rhythm, discovery, and connection.

May your drums continue to guide you to new insights and deeper understanding.
