Our Experiences
I first met Peter around 5 years ago when I was fortunate enough to create a beautiful deer hide drum during one of his ceremonial workshop days.
I found him that day, and find him still, to be a man of great reverence when it comes to the teachings that he imparts, the ceremonies he leads and the commitment he has to his circle of brothers and sisters and to walking the road he has chosen.
Since first meeting him, I have been privileged to become his sister and to be part of a number of workshops and ceremonies that he has lead, including fire ceremonies, vision quests, drum workshops, shaman walks and days of teachings. He has always offered himself whole heartedly to all involved, with wisdom, gratitude, equanimity and a good dose of humour thrown in when needed! The depth of his knowledge and the reverence with which he upholds these teachings means a day with him can be life changing.
I look forward to many more years walking alongside Peter, learning and growing, connecting more deeply with Creator and All That Is, finding guidance and support from all our relations, and all who walk this path.

I have participated in more than one of Peter Bowden's workshops. I have made my own medicine drum at one of them. I find Peter's workshops very enjoyable, he has a natural ability to make you and all the others attending very comfortable, and I found on each accasion, he had us all working and communicating as a team.
I believe Peter's special quality is the way he openly shares his knowledge with you, giving you a better understanding of his teachings. Peter is very dedicated to his teachings, this shows in his work. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter's workshops. Enjoy!

I have walked a pathway of spiritual discovery for most of this life's journey. As a Teacher and Facilitator it was a gift to participate in several Workshops with Peter. He walks with Spiritual Integrity and enriches our journey with the teachings of shamanic wisdom.
Empowering people to discover and deeper their connection with Mother Earth and all our relations through shamanic teachings to a much wiser inner knowing of our own journey.

It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of celebration and ceremony which Pete encompasses in the way that he lives his life. From making a drum to lighting a ceremonial fire he has always been a quite guide to the people around him.
He makes it fun to be a part of the activities for kids or adults. No matter what you do with Pete you will always benefit from his knowledge.
I look forward to being part of many more events with Pete in the future.

Peter is one of my closest and dearest friends, we have walked through many crisis together and shared many happy celebrations and good times. I have made two drums with Peter. The first drum I made was made out of deer skin and holds the energy vibration of a healing drum. I spent much of the day grieving, twisted in knots inside. Hence my twine twisted into knots and I spent alot of time undoing knots in my twine. I was a total mess. By the end of the day, which was Summer Solstice, I had cleared my inner turmoil and I was laughing and happy once again. My healing drum has been successfully used in the healing of others.
The second drum I made with Peter is my South Drum, my ceremonial drum. Peter and I spent the day playing, talking and laughing. This drum is made out of Kangaroo skin, therefore the drum doesn’t absorb moisture and is perfect when attending ceremonies held outside at night around the camp fire. I have taken my Ceremonial drum to full moon gatherings and other spiritual circles. With both of my drums I have connected to the heart beat of Mother Earth and grown spiritually as a person. A day spent with Peter making a medicine drum, is a day worth spending if one is seeking to grow and heal spiritually.
