While focusing ones efforts
towards the end result of making music, handling the raw materials
used to assemble a drum has delivered many people to a place of
greater perspective, physically, emotionally and many times
spiritually.
The journey into expressed
creativity offers rewarding outcome full of surprise. The art of
"Losing Oneself" for greater purpose had delivered many to a place
of understanding...to the gifts of the other side of
hardship.
While on a very concrete
plane, we work and mold the materials into a professional quality
instrument, Stan encourages participants to explore new and vital
ways to both view the proccess as well as "be" within the proccess
of building a drum.
At the end of every
workshop, everyone sits back, many times exhausted, sighs a great
relief and proudly smiles at what they have just walked through,
with an amazing product as verifiable proof.
What a sweet way to invest
your essence! And with the added bonus of having a beautiful tool
to make music!
Stan has been blessed to
lean into drum building as a chosen career. The benefits continue
to bless him as he continues to bless others across the
country.
