I have never done this work for the money. I have a professional career which pays well. I do this work because it is my calling, my soul work.
My time is precious, but I made a conscious decision many years ago not to profit from teaching. I love to pass on my knowledge born of many years of formal study and experiential practice. So, if you do a drum birthing workshop with me - the cost is exactly the same as if you commissioned me to make you a drum.
That said - the materials I choose to use are expensive. I deal with small scale artisan producers who work in what I consider a good way. Their work is physically hard & time consuming. Bison & horse hides are especially expensive - & global shipping costs together with importation taxes have to be factored in to my pricing. Rest assured though you are getting what you pay for - ethically sourced sustainably produced materials crafted into a sacred object which will last very many years. One of the first drums I ever birthed is still going strong, I see it often in the Inipi lodge I attend in South Oxfordshire.
This work includes many aspects which as a whole create a unique ceremony for each creative process:
