instruments of the sacred

Custom-crafted ceremonial drums, rattles, and altar pieces created in deep alignment with your path, your prayer,
and your becoming

THE CREATION JOURNEY

Each instrument is crafted in ceremony over two days — a weaving of intention, sound, and spirit. Whether you are a practitioner, seeker, or steward of sacred space, these tools are created to be more than objects: they are living allies attuned to your essence and the frequency you are here to carry.

Each instrument is:

Opened in sacred space, with altar, smoke, drumming, singing, and prayers
Attuned to your intention, through a 30-minute consultation before the crafting begins
Infused with intuitive insight, including an oracle pull, drum journey to meet the hide, and a meditation with the tree or crystal spirit
Lovingly crafted, with materials sourced ethically and prepared with reverence
Ceremonially activated, with a final blessing and your instrument’s birth time noted for astrology or Human Design, if you wish

ALONG WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT, YOU’LL RECEIVE:

A summary guide of the ceremony process and any insights gathered during the crafting
Care instructions
A suggested activation ritual for taking on custodianship

Each tool is unique. Pricing varies depending on size, materials, and customisations.

Each piece is a living transmission — a keeper of story, prayer, or presence. These are currently in emergence. If you feel called to commission one, you may enquire.

Why Work with a Sacred Drum, Rattle, or Feathered Codex?

Each instrument carries a unique medicine, created in deep ceremony to support your connection to self, spirit, and the unseen. Whether you are seeking to facilitate healing, attune to your intuition, or honour a rite of passage, these tools serve as vessels of frequency and intention.

The medicine drum is a powerful ceremonial companion — used to steady the nervous system, enter altered states, and return to the heartbeat of the Earth.

The medicine rattle works with vibration and rhythm to shift energy, clear space, and activate deeper states of awareness. Often used alongside the drum, the rattle awakens the subtle layers of the energetic body, supporting clarity, movement, and inner connection.

Feathered codexes are ceremonial carriers of resonance — used for smudging, energy work, or placed on the altar as vibrational anchors. Each piece is a transmitter, woven with feathers, wings, bones, crystals, and more — encoded with story, prayer, and presence.

To have a sacred instrument crafted for you is to receive more than a tool — it is to receive a being, born through ceremony, shaped by the frequency of your intention, and offered with the deepest care..

Why commission a custom tool?

Every element of the instrument - the hide, the tree, the crystal, the way the lacing is tied — carries frequency. When crafted intentionally and ceremonially, these instruments become more than tools: they are medicine carriers, tuned to your rhythm and purpose.

You may be:

Calling in support for your practice or path
Honouring a transition or rite of passage
Seeking deeper connection with your own voice, healing, or rhythm
Wanting to anchor a frequency in physical form

You don’t need to craft it yourself to receive its power. A custom instrument holds the same — and sometimes deeper — attunement, especially when crafted with devotion and skill in your honour.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

If there's one word I could use to describe my experience working with Zaana, it would be "transformational." Her coaching has been instrumental in transforming my life, enabling me to overcome challenges, embrace my strengths, and unlock my full potential. What makes Zaana distinctive to work with is her background as a Top Tier Management Consultant, where I think she honed her analytical skills and developed a deep understanding of complex issues. The main reason I would highly recommend Zaana to someone else is her unique ability to balance intellectual depth with genuine care and empathy.
Dr Jemma King (Director) Biopsychanalytics Pty Ltd.
Zaana is brilliant. She has vast experience and deep knowledge, a passionate and open-hearted approach to coaching, an ability to bridge multiple knowledge domains and synthesise them with nuance and relevance to bring them to your unique life context and she has a genuine commitment to your development and growth. Zaana melds her own personal development journey, spiritual shamanic practice, energetic healing modalities, deep academic grounding in design and years of experience in consulting to be in full support of your development.
Melis Senova (PhD Founder and Director) This Human
Zaana has such a sound sense of mutual benefit that I know she will take the lead when she see’s fit and hand back as needed. She delights the participants in the Master of Design Futures in many ways, especially by showing them that taking on challenges while being careful of one's own well-being goes hand in hand. And that all this can be done with grace and ease.
Dr Marius Foley (Program Manager) RMIT Master of Design Futures
I've had the pleasure of working with Dr Zaana as a collaborator and also as her coaching client. Zaana has a very unique set of human qualities that she brings to her work. Firstly, she is incredibly intelligent and at the cutting edge of current trends and movements that benefit business. Even more importantly though, she has incredible emotional intelligence and is able to draw on her deep intuition and empathy to develop appropriate and personal solutions for individuals and organisations. Working with Zaana will change the way you look at the world in the best possible way.
Christian Duell (Director) White Light Education
Funlab undertook a huge project with Zaana to unveil true insights of our guest experience across our key entertainment brands Strike, Holey Moley and Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq. Zaana is one of the greats. Her capacity to understand business complexities, coordinate across functions and implement our huge guest experience project with guaranteed outcomes is a super skill. Our team loved working with her in a number of collaborative workshops across a number of our functions. Her ability to connect at different levels within the business showed her adaptable talent but more importantly her emotional intelligence to gain best results.
Blaise Witnish (Chief Growth Officer) FunLab
My visioning work with Zaana was enlightening, deep and clarifying - which is a testament to Zaana's gift for coaching, stewarding and sharing wisdoms grounded in Zaana's unique life experiences. It clarified a holistic vision for the life I want to manifest, but also more importantly reminded me of who I want to embody as I continue on this journey.
Anne (Strategic Designer) Australian Government
I received a Human Design session from Zaana in early 2024. During the session, Zaana used visuals, easy to digest information and her beautiful supportive holding style to help me see my gifts, and strategies to embrace all of the parts of myself. I learnt so much in my session, and found it practical, grounded and enlightening. Thank you so much Zaana!
Rhiannon Sims (Founder) Akashic Sister
I’ve worked with Zaana both as a personal coach and within an organisation leading project delivery. What stands out in both cases is her sharp insight into what needs to be done and how to do it effectively. Her quiet style cuts through the noise to help people get to heart of the issue and move to designing outcomes. She is a delight to work with and has shown me how to refine my thinking toward the outcomes I need.
Stephanie White (Founder and Director) Yellow Donkey Growth Consulting
I worked with Zaana in a leadership workshop and after liking her approach I decided to engage her as a personal coach. Zaana is an exceptional listener with a calming nature, holistic perspective and an understanding of fierce corporate culture. Working with Zaana has helped me to assess both my work and life with a greater perspective. She is a great outside voice for anyone trying to look inside.
