So much of our healing depends on our ability to move beyond our stories of trauma, into the present, where we can live authentically. This session is aimed at facilitating the release of anything we hold onto, but that often prevents us from feeling how we want to feel. This session includes guided visualization, active music making, and an invitation to ‘Let That &*;#!* Go.’

The Suling is a beautiful bamboo flute from Indonesia that is easy to learn and play. With 4 holes, it produces a beautiful Javanese pentatonic scale & plays 2+ octaves. 

Suzanne will show you how to play the full range of the flute (over two full octaves!) and get you going on your Suling journey! All flutes come with a custom-made cloth case. Flutes will be delivered to you at school.

"This sweet flute enchanted me when I first heard it four decades ago. It continues to bring me such joy when I play it. Its earthy tone speaks to me, bringing me back to the peaceful island of Bali and making me smile as I remember the gentle people who I met there.” - Suzanne

This class is for all levels.

Suzanne and Gilbert will work with you to create, prepare, arrange and record your own masterpiece! Suzanne will help you flesh out a musical idea from hearing you play just a few notes or from preconceived musical ideas. She’ll serve as music producer as she helps clarify the vision of the piece, helping you to develop the idea, create a structure, and guide you through the entire recording process.

Gilbert, an award-winning engineer, will have you sounding better than you’ve ever heard yourself. He will also perform and record a selection of drums, percussion, stringed instruments, hand-pan, and synthesizer pads to accompany your flute part.  During this session, you will become a recording artist/composer, learning about mic technique, overdubs, song development/arranging, and mixing techniques.

You will witness the blossoming of your musical idea into a completed composition, and leave with a fully produced and professionally recorded masterpiece!
​
Cost includes two-hour recording session plus one-hour post production mixing session, all supporting musical performances by Gilbert and Suzanne, and MP3, MP4 and WAV files emailed to you within a week following Flute Camp (or during Flute Camp if you schedule your session early in the week).

For $85/hour extra, a more complex masterpiece can have multiple overdubs, fine-tuned mixing for commercial-ready release, tuning of pitches, additional accompaniment, all done in post-production after camp. Sign up for this option at camp after you discuss your masterpiece ideas with Suzanne.​

Sacred Drum Making Ceremony

Birth Your Drum • Discover Your Rhythm • Step Into a Healing Journey

Since 1996, Drumheart has been honored to witness profound healing through the teachings of the sacred drum. Guided by Elders and spiritual teachers, this workshop supports participants as they experience the powerful transformation that can occur when a drum is birthed.

During our time together, you will learn about:

• Making and caring for your drum

• The sacred responsibility of being a drum keeper

• The healing power of the drum

• Journeying to meet the Spirits at the origin of your drum, guided by the hide and wood we include in the ceremony.

Building a drum is a deeply personal and centering experience that invites you to see the world from a new perspective. Many find this journey transformational — connecting them to their inner rhythm and a deeper understanding of self.

No experience is necessary — only a willingness to listen, create, and be open to the journey.
