It was a weekend of sacred send off’s. We we’ren’t going to mention the ceremony that Ool took part in that was for a Native American man who had crossed over, but then someone posted this and it made us blush. It truly is the greatest of honors to be asked to take part in celebrating as well as grieving someone who has transitioned to the next dimension. Ool came home on Saturday feeling humbled and grateful ❤️

One of our drum makers, Lisa, transitioned in June and today we had the absolute privilege of playing drums, per her request, at her celebration of life. What a beautiful experience to be part of this day for her. After the drumming we listened to her loved ones sharing their memories and love for her and all we can say is what an amazing human she was! She helped so many people in this life. We have no doubt that she will continue to provide her love and support from the other side!

The Journey is the Destination
My name is Ool Pardi.
I was born in Estonia, a small country on the northern tip of Europe, bordering Russia. There are many journeys in life and mine brought me and my family to America when I was 17 to start a new life. I have resonated with Native American culture since childhood and have always felt a pull to immerse myself in the sounds and spirit of the tribes.
I bought my first drum when I was 26 years old. It was a Sioux ceremonial drum. Soon after I bought an Alaskan Fire drum. I had no idea how to play them and for many years I lacked the confidence to try...and so a silent conversation began while I searched for a healing meditation.
Over the years, as my spiritual journey continued, the drums called to me louder and louder until finally in 2014 I took a drumming class from Spirit Hawk of the Ojibwa Nation. Around the same time I also was given the name StrongHeart by Chief White Buffalo, at a gathering in Alocna County, MI. It was then that the long silence was over and StrongHeart DrumMedicine emerged.
