Meet your Teacher
Michael Drake is an internationally regarded educator, writer and recording artist. Raised in a conservative Baptist Church, Michael had his first ecstatic experience as a youth at a church revival, an evangelistic meeting intended to reawaken interest in religion. This state of rapture and trance-like elation inspired his life-long quest for meaning and fulfillment. At a crucial point in his search, Michael came in touch with the transforming power of shamanic drumming and of an ancient shamanic way of self-knowledge. Through drumming, he found a meaningful way to express himself without words. More importantly, he discovered his true calling: shamanic drumming.
