Manifest your Drum: A Creative Workshop
Available in our store:
Handcrafted in small batches with rhubarb-infused vodka, cinnamon, bay leaves, orange and lemon peel, rose petals, apple mint, spearmint, rosemary, and lavender, then steeped over a full moon cycle before being hand bottled. Rhubarb has long been admired for its vibrant, resilient nature—one of the first perennial plants to emerge each spring, symbolizing renewal, growth, and fresh beginnings. Bright citrus and garden mint create a clean, uplifting aroma, while warm cinnamon, rosemary, lavender, bay, and rose add depth and balance. Use to freshen the air, prepare your space for meditation, ceremony, yoga, or quiet reflection, or simply enjoy as a naturally aromatic room spray that evokes the freshness of an early spring garden.
This handcrafted gourd rattle features a hand-painted Tree of Life with a feminine figure woven into its branches, symbolizing connection, growth, grounding, and the deep relationship between humanity and the natural world.
The natural gourd is filled and finished to create a soft, earthy sound, offering a gentle rhythm suitable for ceremony, meditation, mindfulness practices, energy work, or simply as a calming presence in sacred space.
The wooden handle is adorned with ethically sourced feathers, which hang and move naturally as the rattle is held, adding a sense of motion, air, and spirit to the piece. The handle is also wrapped and accented with twine and satin leaves, creating layered texture and a flowing, organic aesthetic that complements the artwork on the gourd.
Each rattle is individually painted and assembled by hand, making every piece completely unique. Variations in the gourd, painting, feathers, and natural materials ensure no two are ever alike.

Created with care at The River Runs Through, this rattle is both a functional ceremonial tool and a symbolic piece of art—inviting reflection on growth, interconnectedness, and the living presence of nature within and around us.
A piece to hold, a sound to carry, and a reminder of life rooted in the earth and reaching toward the sky.
This striking 12-inch vegan drum is hand-painted and sealed for durability, making it both a functional instrument and a unique piece of artwork.
The design features a radiant sun surrounded by the universe, stars, and celestial imagery, celebrating our connection to the natural world and the vast mysteries beyond it. Inspired by the rhythms of nature, the night sky, and the wonder of existence, this drum serves as a reminder that we are both grounded on the earth and part of something much larger.
Crafted with plant-based materials, the drum produces a clear, resonant tone suitable for personal ceremony, meditation, mindfulness practices, altar work, journeying, or drumming circles. Its size makes it equally at home as a musical instrument or a statement art piece.
Each drum is individually painted with acrylic paints and sealed to help protect the artwork. No two are exactly alike, ensuring that every drum is truly one of a kind.
Included with the drum is a matching mallet, allowing it to be enjoyed immediately as an instrument or displayed as meaningful art.

New Workshop:
Over four weeks, explore the Eight Sacred Directions and deepen your relationship with the natural world through the Celtic Spirit Wheel.
Connect with the wisdom of Father Sun, Grandmother Moon, Mother Earth, and Grandfather Fire, while exploring powerful archetypes such as the Wise Salmon, Great Bear, Eagle, and Stag as guides for healing and transformation.
Together, we will explore what it means to be In the Thick of Things—to meet yourself honestly in the middle of life's challenges, shed what no longer serves you, discover your own personal guides, and begin becoming who you have yet to become.
The Face We Wear: A Two-Day Ritual Mask Workshop

The Face We Wear: A Two-Day Ritual Mask Workshop
Long before masks appeared on theater stages or Halloween costumes, they were used around the world as sacred objects. They represented ancestors, spirits, animals, protectors, healers, and the unseen aspects of ourselves. A mask could transform the wearer, conceal identity, reveal truth, or mark an important transition in life.
Psychology offers another perspective. Carl Jung wrote about the persona—the social mask we present to the world. While necessary, the persona can sometimes become so familiar that we lose sight of the deeper, more authentic self beneath it.
What or who is your mask?
There is no right answer.
Your mask will become uniquely yours.
Once completed, participants will transform their masks using paint, natural materials, symbols, feathers, fibers, beads, crystals, and found objects, creating a deeply personal piece that may become an altar object, ceremonial tool, meditation companion, or meaningful reminder of their own unfolding journey.
No artistic experience is necessary.
The most meaningful masks have never depended upon artistic talent.
They begin with curiosity.

Divination
In our 20-minute meeting, I’ll use shamanic divination to offer insight and guidance through natural objects such as stones, shells, and seeds. Through intuition, symbols, patterns, and energy, we connect to spirit and your own deeper inner wisdom.
Land Healing
Restoring Relationship, Balance, and Connection
Just as people can experience periods of disruption, loss, trauma, or transition, so too can the land.
Whether a property has experienced significant change, development, neglect, environmental disturbance, conflict, or simply feels unsettled, many people report sensing that something is "off." While the causes may not always be visible, the effects can often be felt.
Using the Celtic Spirit Wheel as a framework, Shamanic Land Healing seeks to restore relationship between people and place, honor what has occurred, and invite greater balance, harmony, and connection.
What Does a Land Healing Consist Of?
Each healing is unique, but typically includes:
Walking and listening to the land
Learning about the history and current use of the property
Assessing the property through the lens of the Celtic Spirit Wheel
Identifying areas that feel depleted, disrupted, or out of balance
Ceremony, offerings, and expressions of gratitude
Establishing or restoring the Spirit Wheel on the land
Guidance for ongoing stewardship and relationship-building practices
This work is not about "fixing" the land. Rather, it is about acknowledging the relationship between people and place and creating space for restoration and renewal.
Why Might Someone Seek a Land Healing?
A land healing may be helpful when:
Moving onto a new property
Beginning a farm, business, retreat center, or community space
Following construction, logging, or major landscape changes
After periods of neglect or abandonment
When the land feels unsettled or disconnected
To deepen connection with the natural world and the place you call home
Session Length
2+ Hours
Most properties can be assessed and worked with in a single visit.
Investment
$175 for properties within 20 miles of Monroe, Maine.
Additional travel fees may apply for locations beyond 20 miles.
Continuing the Work
Participants will receive simple practices for maintaining connection with the land, including seasonal acknowledgments, gratitude offerings, observation practices, and ways to continue working with the Celtic Spirit Wheel independently.
The goal is not dependence on a practitioner, but the cultivation of an ongoing relationship between you and the land itself.
"When we care for the land, we often discover that it has been caring for us all along."
