Welcome Spring Equinox with Earth Beats (ISD Oneonta's New Drum Circle)
Tom is an ISD Reiki Third Degree sanctioned healer and secretary of the Board of Directors. He is a founding member of the Oneonta chapter, and a former member of ISD-DC in Washington, DC with his wife Sue. He has been a lifelong singer, currently singing with three distinctly different choral groups in Oneonta and Binghamton.
He discovered shamanic drumming a few years ago with the local group led by Suzanne Summers of Cooperstown. He made his own 15 inch shamanic frame drum in a workshop led by John (Crow) MacKinnon in 2025, and has a second one made of bison hide by a Native American in Colorado. Tom uses his drum in his evening healing prayers for friends and family. His collaboration with Karin Murphy to create the ISD Earth Beats drum circle feeds his intention to expand the healing qualities of drumming within ISD.
