The Largest Healing Drum in the World
GRANDMOTHER DRUM
One Drum…… One Heartbeat…… One Family…… One Earth
Saturday 14th April 2012
Tallebudgera Valley Community Hall
611 Tallebudgera Creek Rd, Tallebudgera Valley
From a vision of indigenous grandmothers and many hands of the multicultural Alaskan community, the GrandMother Drum (the largest drum of its kind in the world), took over a year to construct. White Eagle Medicine Woman guided each step of the Building Ceremony of the GrandMother Drum with prayer, ceremony and world-wide meditations. Each of the seven layers of wood of this 7 foot (2.134m) diameter drum, represents the 7 continents of Mother Earth.
Over 1300 strips of Alaska Yellow and Red Cedar and Alaska Birch were used for the kettle shaped drum base. During each layer, prayers and ceremonies were conducted for the people of each continent of Mother Earth.
The GrandMother Drum design brings together the drums of the people of the four directions. The drum’s kettle shape design is similar to the kultxrun of the Mapuche of South America, the Buffalo skin came from North America, the stringed tuning style is that of an African Djembe and the stand reflects an Indian tabla.
Over two hundred clear and rose quartz crystals are embedded in the kettle shaped drum base. The crystals were embedded in a pattern known as the Sacred Triple Spiral. This pattern is actually a matrix of the chakras or energy centres of the human energy field. When activated through specific drumming techniques, the crystals in the Grandmother Drum transmit a high frequency healing tone, immersing the human body in a high crystalline environment, raising the potential for a deep healing of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
The Mission of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project is to travel around the world promoting peace and unity through the global language of music, dance, cultural and healings arts.
The GrandMother Drum is a living, beating symbol from the hearts of the grandmothers that we are all one people, that Mother Earth is our one country, that love is stronger than fear and that peace and freedom are the birthrights of all humanity. The drum is the centre piece of creating celebrations that honour the unique gifts and spiritual traditions of the diverse cultures of the human family with the theme: The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth. The dynamic multicultural performances share an explosive mix of thundering primal rhythms, irresistible music and dance
DRUM FOR CHANGE
Drum for our children, grandchildren and future generations to come
Welcome in the great purification and cleansing of all negativity within ourselves
Welcome in the new era of peace on earth
The performances are interactive, tribal with ceremonial flare… GrandMother Drum Projects dynamic “prayerformances” transform the hearts of all involved, leading audiences in a passionate fury of love.
“Concert goers are shaken to the core by GrandMother Drum’s soulful thunder, her universal power in undeniable.” Heather Resz-Anchorage Chronicle
