You provide;

​

1. The intention you’d like your drum to hold,

2. Any symbol or figure that holds personal significance for you,

3. Your date of birth

4. Your full name

​

With this information, Hale enter a dreaming space on your behalf -a meditative journey where she receive the vision for your unique drum-. What comes through becomes the design, created just for you.

 

This design remains a secret until the drum is complete. It helps protect the soul of the piece from expectations or ego-driven desires from both you as the recipient and Hale as the artist. It helps both of us release control and surrender to what wants to emerge. It also adds a beautiful, sacred excitement to the process.

​

Once the design is clear, the crafting process begins, with specific rituals.

 

Each Defkuş is “born” in alignment with the New Moon or Full Moon.

To align with these timings, I ask that you share your information at least one week before your desired moon phase.

Production time: 15–30 days.
