Rawhide Rattle Making Workshop with weaver...

rawhide rattle making workshop with weaver...

rawhide rattle birthed by weaver...

The 'spirit' rawhide rattle is an ancient + powerful 'clearing' musical instrument that can be used for healing + lots of fun to play.

On our first day we will sew and shape the rattle then, let it dry overnight. On our second day, we will complete the rattle by filling with pebbles, beads, etc., to create your own rattle’s personal sound, then attach the handle + decorate... and then, together, we'll enliven and wake our rattles up! We will also cover some of the history of the rattle + how it can be used as part of your energetic healing practice and/or personally...

Want to move some stuck energy in your life and/or shift something that needs shifting?

Come learn how to birth your own personal rawhide rattle... in south Vancouver next to the beautiful Fraser River or on Gabriola Island... held over a weekend, two half-days (to allow for drying time overnight)...
