Are you a leader in your community? Do you work with women? Run full or new moon groups? Red Tents?
Do you love the Red Drum and all it stands for?
Do you wish that the women you work with could have an opportunity to deepen into the work with the creation of a Red Drum?
If this speaks to you please read further- because the world needs you at this time!
If you would like to read more on how bringing Red Drums into workshops has been, pop over and read my most recent blogpost interview with Anni Daulter on her experience.

What I have come to realize the older I get is that sometimes the best way to really keep something close is to truly let it go....
Over the past 5 years I have received more invites and e-mails asking me if and when I can come to their communities to offer the Red Drum Making workshop, and being only one person and a true introvert at that, I have declined more then my heart wanted!
I say this because my heart has always known that Red Drums should be in the hands of every woman who hears the call to have one in her life.
The Red Drum is our female reclamation of so much that was taken from us over centuries of patriarchy. It is time for us to step forward with a deeper understanding of what the red drum means for us as women and to dive deep into the ancient pulse of the great mother through the heartbeat of our drums.....
It is to this end that the Red Drum needs, no, is asking for community, for women who are picking up the mantle of leadership to bring the Red Drums to their communities!
Is this you?
I am looking for strong leaders who already have groups running and feel that making a red drum will serve to bring their group closer and deepen their work.
Examples of this are:
Ongoing new or full moon groups
Shamanic woman's groups-journey circles
Those who work with young women and their mothers-menarche
Those who run healing circles of all kinds--addictions, sexual abuse, loss etc...
Women who gather monthly to work through life cycles of any kind, first moon, menopause, croning....
You tell me! The sky is the limit here really....
Structure:
I am deliberately keeping the structure simple at this time, as I am looking for leaders who are strong and passionate about bringing Red Drums to their current communities, who are already brimming with ideas for making a Red Drum workshop day their own, and who are already creating a sacred, safe space for the women they work with.
I have created a simple instruction manual for leaders who wish to bring the red drum to their communities. The idea is to feed others work while also feeding my own, for this is the heart of how matriarchal things are done!
I will also create a Leaders directory so women looking for a drum workshop in their area can find workshops and support all leaders in advertising their workshops on the Red Drum Carriers Facebook page.
Cost and integrity contract:
In return for becoming a Red Drum leader/ ambassador there will be a one time fee of $250 for the use of my intellectual property, and a simple contract to sign saying that you will not steal my work or claim credit as the creator of the Red Drum.
This is the integrity piece,
As a part of the integrity contract all drum kits will be bought from me. Prices for kits will be given upon acceptance into the program and will include everything you will need to offer your workshop including the hide, hoops, lacings, special dye, decorations, almost everything except water and your own flair!
What you will receive for your $250 fee as a Red Drum Leader/ambassador?
