 *ANCIENT STONE MEDICINE WHEEL*

This workshop is very special, usually held in a group of 20 to 30 people, where the person gets to make their very own Stone Medicine Wheel; the stone is rough cutt  by David himself, and he  discusses the process of sanding, finishing, and adorning the wheel with all natural beads, feathers, and leather; all while teaching the meaning of this ancient teaching, and what it can mean for the person's life.

*MUSIC BUILDING/MINI CONCERT*

This workshop allows youth, students, adults to learn about world instrumentation, their origins, demonstration of instrument, with instruction by David who is a multi-instrumentalist and has released numerous albums of his world fusion music throughout the Globe.  This hands-on workshop allows the group to be immersed, builds confidence, and opens a whole new world to those not exposed to music.  Music is the medicine; it unites people of all cultures and creed.  David's collection features rare exotic  instruments from China, Australia, Switzerland, India, and of course the Traditional Love Flute of the Haudenosaunee Peoples, his culture and his teachings.

 *DRUMMING/MEDITATION*

To Indigenous Peoples around the world, the drum is known  as the HEART BEAT of Mother Earth.  There are many teachings that this instrument can give, but there are thousands of varieties of drums throughout the globe.  David is a master percussionist and will bring together in this workshop, teachings from many cultures, including the HAND drum of the Plains Cree, Dakota/Lakota peoples; the WATER drum of the Haudenosaunee-Mohawk peoples, and the African Djembes, AND SO MANY MORE....but the most rare is the HANG-HUNG DRUM of Switzerland.  David was gifted this beautiful instrument by a dear friend who made the arduous trip to Switzerland to meet with the makers of this rare gift.
