For thirteen years White Eagle Medicine Woman (Suraj Holzwarth) was visited in dreams by indigenous grandmothers giving her spiritual guidance to build a giant healing drum. With the help of the Alaskan multicultural community, the large seven foot crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum was built in 2000 for just that, to sound a Big Bang of Love and create a new age of peace and illumination among humanity.
As foretold by the Otomi Elders of Mexico, “when the sound of 8,000 drums would be heard the Earth would begin her renewal”. The GrandMother Drum tours the world to fulfill the ancient prophecy and gather thousands in worldwide drum vigils for peace. Journey with her across the outback of Australia to work with the Aboriginal “Stolen Generation”, into remote northern villages of the Yukon to California’s main stage setting the Guinness Book of World Records for the Largest Drum Ensemble For Peace.
