8/3/24 - Nan Maclean

" The drums are truly unique, one of a kind in this world. You can tell by  meeting the drum maker Chuck and his late partner Sandy, they have a  genuine goal of helping humanity progress that you can feel the love and  passion from holding the drums. These drums are a portal to spirit  communication.  When you hold the drum, it opens doorways to endless  possibilities for spiritual development. It's an experience that words  cannot describe. "

 “Wakan Drums are exquisite gateways to the Divine! These Sacred Drums  are a wonderful tool to connect with your ancestors from all (galactic  and terrestrial) lineages. Wakan Drums are finely crafted with the  utmost care and intentional purpose. The woodworking skills utilized to  create these masterpieces are outstanding. I am extremely happy with my  Wakan drum who chose to be named Sigrun. She helps me to deeply tap into  my Nordic and Galactic roots and is utterly priceless in healing  sessions. I highly recommend Wakan Drums. Chuck does a great service to  the healing community by creating these drums and offering them at such a  kind price point. Thank you, Chuck. I am forever grateful.”

“I have been blessed to have crossed paths with  Chuck Wilson, creator of Wakan Drums, during a Shamanic Reiki workshop.   This connection was obviously orchestrated by spirit, and I have  recently had the honor of becoming one of his “drum keepers” for a  sacred Elk drum that he created for me with his allys in all realms.   His tracking for empowering my medicine path was impeccable.  The drum  brings so many layers of healing, honoring, magical depth, and  connection to the world of nature and spirit.  I know this will  continue to bless, unfold, and inform my healing journey and those it  touches, for the rest of my life.  I am so deeply grateful to Chuck for  creating this sacred work and all it represents.”

Much love,

Traci


10-16-2020 - Polina Shar -   Chuck’s  personal drum Frejya projects a powerful feminine energy, a pure love, a  healing vibration.  In a short simple journey session, Frejya’s  pulsations shook my energy centers, heating them and assisting me in  accessing my own healing force.  Chuck has unlocked a world inside of  himself, and he shares that to promote healing and connection in others.  He has a kind, humble and playful nature. Chuck has a great gift for  creating beautiful drums and for promoting healing in others. 


10-16-2020 - Steven Hay -  Chuck  is a gifted craftsman, engineer and solver of problems. He is also a  man deeply connected to the world of spirit and energy. Chuck has merged  his diverse gifts to give birth to drums which are works of art and are  profoundly filled with the mysteries and power of multiple spiritual  traditions.  In his humble manner, Chuck channels healing energy,  integrity, and vision. 


10-15-2020 - Pam Brown -  I  will say this. ..  the craftsmanship of the Wakan Drum is extremely high!  Visually it’s a  unique, one of a kind piece  of art that is so enjoyable to look at and  appreciate natures beauty. As a healing tool, it will help you connect  to your spiritual teams and assist you on your path. I highly recommend  Wakan Drums!! 


3-7-2020 – Andrew - I discovered Chuck online as I was looking for guidance on my  first drum and went to meet with him and see his drums. In a word -  amazing. Chuck has an immense knowledge and wisdom in bringing these  drums to the world. Chuck shared about his path and how the drums are a  reflection of that path. Read about his path in The Drum Maker section  on his site. There is healing and energy in the drums. I was given the  opportunity to sit and hold Freyja and the energy coming from the drum  connected immediately with my heart. There was no mistake about it. Have  never had that happen before. I also was able to meet Story Stick (the  flute). Again – such a great vibration and energy. Thank you Chuck for  the time and wisdom that you shared. Your work is simply amazing and I  know that each drum will bring deep healing to everyone it encounters. 


9/16/2019  Here is a very nice comment from one of the drum makers that love my  frames... "Out of the box powerful!  I make spirit drums to be a  connection tool  for people to the spirit realms. Each time a drum is  played with  intention the power of the drum grows and its medicine gets  stronger.   


The Wakan drum frames provide an incredible energy so that  even a newly  created drum has powerful medicine that you can feel an  immediate  connection to your heart center the moment you pick it up.  It is the  emotion in your prayers and intentions when you play  a drum that carry  the prayers to spirit and these frames open your  heart up for a true  emotional connection to other realms. These are  truly special and I am  honored any time i am asked to create a drum  with a Wakan frame.

 7/29/19 - Testimonial from a drum maker:  "Hello! My client loved the  drum: ) your frame makes the quality of sound so beautifully rich...They  truly sound wonderful. I attached a pic of how it came out, albeit a  top view.  As you know, I’m not into painting drums, but this one really  wanted it..."  Andrea Berry - Yoemia.com  Drum Birther, Shamanic Practicioner9/16/2019 -

I  highly recommend Chuck Wilson of Shamanic Reiki Center. I consulted him  regarding an area of loss I'd been struggling with for years, and  experienced immediate and powerful healing as a result of his work. Even  better, a week or so later I used a technique I learned from him to  enable equally potent healing in another area of my life. Those events  took place five months ago, and the problems/hurt areas have not  re-manifested. Chuck is very down-to-earth and non-dramatic, but  connects with very potent allies. If I ever need deep spiritual healing  again I will definitely arrange another session with him.

Just  a quick review.. Wanted to say thank you for the wonderful journey.  Went to all four corners to return home to the table to feast with my  soul family. Was a beautiful walk. Freyja is amazing also, she  definitely has her own heart beat, thank you for sharing your story and  your gifts. Your an amazing light and gift to this planet. Thank you

I  had the pleasure of working with Chuck at Shamandome 2018. We saw  dozens of people and I was impressed again and again with the healing  medicine held within the drum Freyja. Often it was enough for someone to  simply hold the drum to their heart, and the channels would open for  deep true healing. Freyja was an integral part of this process, and  Chuck, as her keeper, is a gentle powerful healer in his own right.
Blessings to you and your work!

I met Chuck unexpectedly while visiting the Shaman dome at the 2018 Burning Man
festival this year. 

After discovering our meeting was probably not happenstance,

I had the opportunity to experience the powerful energy and healing of his drum 
Freya.

While holding the heart centered drum to me, I felt instantly connected and energized,
and a clarity rose deep inside me of something I had been grappling with for a long
time. The drum conduits spiritual healing to those who embrace her.

Rasa - Third Degree Usui Reiki Practitioner

It's  in his resonant, comforting voice....it's in his profoundly unguarded,  loving Heart.....it's in his beating, bear-hug of a drum Freyja.  Together, they shift you. 

My dear friend Chuck, his guides, and Freyja - they show you....they hold and heal you....  

You  come away with new connections to old understandings. Connections that  make sense of past relationships to those in the world and to those gone  over. Connections that rid you of old trauma, as well as connections  that reinforce your gratitude to past blessings. In short, connections  that sooth your worry, make sense of the present, and clarify your  path. 

In the five years since I've known Chuck, I've seen him  evolve into an ever more generous, vulnerable, brave, humble man.  He's  accepted his role as healer in the world with a grace far beyond  expectation for one who has seen as much change and experienced as much  loss and pain as he has. He is here to help....and make that "to Help"  with a capital "H"! You can express your deepest fears to Chuck and  always be met with unflinching calm, kindness, and a thoughtful  interpretation that is unexpectedly, wholly relieving. 

During my  times with Chuck sharing Reiki, and even before he had put  Shamanic structure around his gifts and brought Freyja into this world,  I've always experienced major specific shifts in my energy system.  Something about Chuck's focused, heart-centered attention engaged my  trust and confirmed my safety enough for me to allow myself to journey  and experience pent-up emotion, minds-eye visions, and deep release.  Through these came the understandings that enable me move forward in my  life with new self-assurance and resolve. 

And now with  Freyja....holy moly! .....in addition to Chuck's perceptive nudges, a  second resonant, deep voice beats! In Chuck's steady hands, Freyja  creates a penetrating resonance in which my Heart is joyfully rent open  and comforted - ready for my own inspection, and ready, right there and  then, to accept healing from Source in the form of new installations -  energetic downloads which repair it's broken connections and layers that  were laying dormant waiting for a kind hand.  Simply put, in my times  with Chuck and Freyja, my Heart is always transformed.

I trust my life and my Heart to them both. You can too.

"Chuck  performed a marvelous one-minute manipulation on me with his  extraordinary drum, which instantly transported me to a seminal event in  my childhood and reminded me that bringing happiness to others comes  from my being happy."

"It  is with great warmth and assurance that I recommend Chuck as a reiki  and energy healing practitioner. I have known Chuck since 2015, when he  first spoke to me about feeling and sensing energies. He has fully  embraced that part of himself and that longs to bring healing to others.  I know he has spent the better part of two years caring for his late  beloved friend Sandy during her fight with cancer. I know this  experience has deepened his ability to heal and understand other’s pain.

In working with me as a student, I have no question about Chuck’s connection to the spirit world and his abilities. 
I encourage him to bring his energy healing out into the world and for others to experience his gentle and caring nature."

Chuck's  reiki helped me tremendously!  He was kind, patient and compassionate.   After the reiki I felt a connection to my spirit I hadn't felt before, a  deeper understanding of who I am, and an overwhelming sense of peace.   What a gift.  Highly recommend!
