SUMMARY:Drum Making with Wayne Manthey - June
DESCRIPTION:Making your own drum with Wayne Manthey is an experience of a lifetime! Join us! \n“The healing properties of a drum are found in the elements that make it: wood and animal hide. Making personal frame drums is a journey that is individually and spiritually meaningful… The drum symbolizes the heartbeat of life; the heartbeat of community. It is not simply an art form\, but a tool for cleansing\, centering and focusing one’s intentions for health and happiness.” ~ Wayne Manthey \n\n\nIn this educational workshop you will make your own one-sided drum. When people create their own drums they can’t help but develop deep connections to it. The drum you create becomes an extension of yourself and a gateway to greater understanding of your connection to all. \nMaking your own drum is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life. It takes about 4 hours to make your drum. \n\n\n\nClass size is limited so each person can get enough individual attention during the workshop. All you need to do is show up with a bit of curiosity and a desire to have a drum of your own. That’s all you need\, really! \n\n\nWe start with a pre-constructed frame\, deer hides\, and a bucket of walnut stain. First\, you choose your frame\, lay out the hides\, and take a few moments of reflection to connect to this medium. After cutting out the drum circles\, Wayne will lead the group one step at a time\, through the rest of the process. All you need is to be there and do it! \n\nThere are no words that can completely describe what it feels like to make your own drum. Come experience it for yourself!\n\n\n\n\nDATE:  Saturday\, June 6\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30pm to 5:00pm (plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early; class goes to 4:30 with an extra 30 minutes for finishing up as/if required) \nLocation: the Kinstone Visitor Center \nCOST:  13 Inch Drum: $175  /  16 Inch Drum: $200 \nTICKET LINK:  Get your workshop ticket here. \nTicket includes instruction\, all required materials\, and general admission to Kinstone. \n\n\nThere are No Refunds unless the event is cancelled by Kinstone. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout your instructor: Wayne Manthey  \nBased in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, USA\, Wayne Manthey is a nationally known drum maker and teacher of drum making. He has been making drums for over 33 years. His approach is spiritual\, honoring the animals who provided the hides and the trees who donated the wood. \nWayne began by making his own drums which eventually became a true calling to create drums and to teach others to do the same. He has a gallery and studio in Minneapolis where buyers and curious individuals can view his works of art. He has a variety of handmade drums at his studio\, each unique and made of animal hides such as elk or deer and accessorized by other materials including antlers and rocks. Visit his website at this link: https://waynemantheydrummaker.com/ \n\n\n\nNOTE: If you can’t make it to this event on either of the dates offered this year\, please Contact Us to let us know of your interest. If we have enough interest we will bring Wayne back again to do more workshops next year if possible.

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Sunrise Observance
DESCRIPTION:Every Summer Solstice\, we stand and greet the sun as it enters the Great Stone Circle at sunrise. You are invited to join us as we recognize the passing of the seasons from Spring to Summer in this auspicious and sacred stone place. Note that Summer Solstice actually occurs at 3:24am on Sunday\, June 21 and we will stand together to celebrate it just a couple of hours later at sunrise!  Think about making a weekend out of it and come to the Summer Solstice Concert in the Great Stone Circle on Friday night\, join the storytelling event with Tracy Chipman on Saturday\, and then come to this sunrise observance on Sunday! \nIf it is not raining we will gather at 5:00 am in the Great Stone Circle in time to share a very short ritual before we witness the rising of the sun – actual sunrise is at 5:23am but it is usually 5:30 before it is visible in the stone circle. Feel free to arrive as early as 4:45am if you wish (that sounds sooooo early – but don’t go back to sleep!). \nGiven fair weather and a clear horizon\, we will watch the sun as it crests the ridge and is ushered through the Summer Solstice Corridor into the circle. It will set its golden glow upon anyone standing in the middle of the circle. Further\, it will cast the shadow of those persons standing in the center onto the stone directly in the path of the sun – the “Shadow Stone”. Fun fact: The Shadow Stone also marks the exact point of WINTER Solstice SUNSET\, i.e.  summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice sunset occur along the exact same line.  Truly magical. \nGiven cloudy weather\, we will not see the sunrise or our shadow\, but will greet the dawn of Summer ceremoniously regardless! We have had some amazing sunrise observances with clouds\, storms\, and fog – so one never knows what to expect!! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. Feel free to bring a reading or quote to share. Witness the arrival of Summer. Send Spring on its way with blessings. \nCOST: included with admission to Kinstone (pay in advance online OR pay in person in the Visitor Center upon arrival) \nDate: Sunday\, June 21\, 2026 \nTime: 5:00am – 6:30am \nNo Registration Required \nThis event is outdoors. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by morning mist\, fog\, rain\, or clouds. If it is raining or storming this event will be cancelled. Dress for the weather\, be prepared to walk on dewy\, wet grass paths; bring a blanket or camp chair if you wish for your comfort; wear appropriate footwear\, jackets\, scarves\, hats\, and even gloves if needed! Bring your own insect repellent if you wish! \nCancellation will occur in case of RAIN or stormy weather. Cancellations will be posted ONLY on THIS event page and on the corresponding Facebook event page approximately 4 hours before the scheduled start time for this event. \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the astronomical Summer Solstice is Sunday\, June 21 at 3:24am CDT.  So this is indeed the first sunrise of Summer! \n  \nPhoto credit: Kristine Beck

SUMMARY:Monthly Community Healing Ritual - June
DESCRIPTION:Join us for monthly community healing rituals on fourth Saturdays – June 27 thru Oct 24. \n\n\n“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us \nthat the body translates as need\, or want\, or absence. \nSo we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” \n― Malidoma Patrice Somé\, Ritual: Power\, Healing and Community\n\n\nJoin us for this monthly community healing ritual led by Erica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC.  No experience is necessary.

Together\, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known. \nThis event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves\, as well as willingness to support your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not allowed during these events. \n\nCost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10).

Note that Erica shares all donations with her elders to aid in the continuation of their work. \n\nDate: June 27 \nTime: 4:00pm to 7:00pm \nIf you’d like to learn more about the language of ritual\, join us in the parking area at 2pm before each event to help with set up\, planning and to begin learning the Language of Ritual. \nKinstone Location: The Pond \nTheme and Element: Shape Shifting (WATER) \n\nThis is a monthly series; all the dates\, locations and themes in the series are listed here: \n\n\nJune 27 | The Pond | Shape Shifting (WATER) \nJuly 25 | Under the Pines by the Yurt | Burial and Re-bEarth (EARTH) \nAugust 22 | The Great Stone Circle | Wisdom in Our Bones (MINERAL) \nSeptember 26 | The Dolmen | Tending the Ancestral (FIRE) \nOctober 24 | The Three Witnesses | Return to Authenticity (NATURE) \n\n\n\n\nAbout the leader: \nErica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, is a licensed professional counselor in private practice Winona\, MN.

SUMMARY:Monthly Community Healing Ritual - July
DESCRIPTION:Join us for monthly community healing rituals on fourth Saturdays – June 27 thru Oct 24. \n\n\n“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us \nthat the body translates as need\, or want\, or absence. \nSo we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” \n― Malidoma Patrice Somé\, Ritual: Power\, Healing and Community\n\n\nJoin us for this monthly community healing ritual led by Erica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC.  No experience is necessary.

Together\, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known. \nThis event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves\, as well as willingness to support your fellow participants.

Note that Erica shares all donations with her elders to aid in the continuation of their work. \n\nDate: July 25 \nTime: 4:00pm to 7:00pm \nIf you’d like to learn more about the language of ritual\, join us in the parking area at 2pm before each event to help with set up\, planning and to begin learning the Language of Ritual. \nKinstone Location: Under the Pines by the Yurt \nTheme and Element: Burial and Re-bEarth (EARTH) \n\nThis is a monthly series; all the dates\, locations and themes in the series are listed here: \n\n\nJune 27 | The Pond | Shape Shifting (WATER) \nJuly 25 | Under the Pines by the Yurt | Burial and Re-bEarth (EARTH) \nAugust 22 | The Great Stone Circle | Wisdom in Our Bones (MINERAL) \nSeptember 26 | The Dolmen | Tending the Ancestral (FIRE) \nOctober 24 | The Three Witnesses | Return to Authenticity (NATURE) \n\n\n\n\nAbout the leader: \nErica Thibodeaux\, MS\, LPCC\, is a licensed professional counselor in private practice Winona\, MN.

SUMMARY:Drum Making with Wayne Manthey - September
DESCRIPTION:Making your own drum with Wayne Manthey is an experience of a lifetime! Join us! \n“The healing properties of a drum are found in the elements that make it: wood and animal hide. Making personal frame drums is a journey that is individually and spiritually meaningful… The drum symbolizes the heartbeat of life; the heartbeat of community. It is not simply an art form\, but a tool for cleansing\, centering and focusing one’s intentions for health and happiness.” ~ Wayne Manthey \n\n\nIn this educational workshop you will make your own one-sided drum. When people create their own drums they can’t help but develop deep connections to it. The drum you create becomes an extension of yourself and a gateway to greater understanding of your connection to all. \nMaking your own drum is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life. It takes about 4 hours to make your drum. \n\n\n\nClass size is limited so each person can get enough individual attention during the workshop. All you need to do is show up with a bit of curiosity and a desire to have a drum of your own. That’s all you need\, really! \n\n\nWe start with a pre-constructed frame\, deer hides\, and a bucket of walnut stain. First\, you choose your frame\, lay out the hides\, and take a few moments of reflection to connect to this medium. After cutting out the drum circles\, Wayne will lead the group one step at a time\, through the rest of the process. All you need is to be there and do it! \n\nThere are no words that can completely describe what it feels like to make your own drum. Come experience it for yourself!\n\n\n\n\nDATE:  Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30pm to 5:00pm (plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early; class goes to 4:30 with an extra 30 minutes for finishing up as/if required) \nLocation: the Kinstone Visitor Center \nCOST:  13 Inch Drum: $175  /  16 Inch Drum: $200 \nTICKET LINK: Get your ticket for this workshop here. \nTicket includes instruction\, all required materials\, and general admission to Kinstone. \n\n\nThere are No Refunds unless the event is cancelled by Kinstone. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout your instructor: Wayne Manthey  \nBased in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, USA\, Wayne Manthey is a nationally known drum maker and teacher of drum making. He has been making drums for over 33 years. His approach is spiritual\, honoring the animals who provided the hides and the trees who donated the wood. \nWayne began by making his own drums which eventually became a true calling to create drums and to teach others to do the same. He has a gallery and studio in Minneapolis where buyers and curious individuals can view his works of art. He has a variety of handmade drums at his studio\, each unique and made of animal hides such as elk or deer and accessorized by other materials including antlers and rocks.
