Great question!
Since I was a kid I have had a relationship with drums. Over the years I’ve played in many bands, played on records and done a lot of the typical “band” things.
It wasn’t until I began my journey with plant medicine that I found the Idiopan, or rather, it found me.
The plants have taught me I am here to be a healer, and I have been on a path exploring what that means to me ever since.
Through this journey, the Idiopan has been there by my side. It first started as a gift I could share with people during ceremony.
Over time, as the plant relationships I have fostered matured, their medicine began coming through the drum.
Now when I play, it is in relationship with these plants. I have become a channel for their medicine to enter into our world and to connect with people.
The Idiopan was a gift from the plants. It is how they want me to share their medicine with the world.
And in an act of service, I kindly oblige :)
