Come and co-create a ceremonial circle of sound, healing and awakening. We will drum, chant and move together inside a safe and sacred container of connection, release, and positive intention.
We will gather on the Aquarius Full Moon, an auspicious time that is good to reflect on your life to see how it reflects Aquarius energies, such as manifesting collaborative communities, or your ability to be objective in your approach. Aquarian moon energy desires to help us use unconventional approaches, to follow our own, personal ideology. A Shamanic Drum Circle is an ideal vehicle for journeying to discover what is true for you.
Come and be guided to express yourself, to open your heart, to connect with your emotions and to work and feel at home in yourself. Align with others of like minds and hearts to experience and be empowered by shamanic drumming practices.
We will create sacred space by smudging, honouring the traditional stewards of this land, the four directions, grandfather sky, grandmother earth, and our spirits. We will drum and sing medicine songs from the modern shamanic tradition - the rainbow tribe that welcomes seekers from all backgrounds.
We will release what no longer serves us, and invite something new into the space we have created. We will drum and move through the elements, and drum with intention to attract what our hearts and spirits desire. We will go deep to help us envision what we want to bring to life this year, for ourselves, our relationships, our communities and our planet. We will send those visions on waves of sound and intention out into the universe. We will connect and support each other with rhythm, voice and vibration, and create community in a circle around the firepit.
This will be a unique drum circle, as it will be facilitated to gently guide you through transformative experiences.
This is not a typical un-facilitated drum circle, many of which have blossomed in the Greater Toronto Area - they can be a lot of fun, but this circle will take you deeper, into sacred space. Please have your favourite drum or shaker ready (although you don't need any instruments to benefit from the ceremony), a journal and pen for insights received, and an intention, a question, and or a request for healing, either for your or someone else.
We will gather at Swan's Nest Holistic Wellness and Nature Retreat, in King Township, only an hour from downtown Toronto. It is located on Rufus' family farm, and the address will be provided to all those who purchase tickets, either through Eventzilla or by e-transfer. Subsidized tickets are available for those who cannot at this time purchase a regular priced ticket.
No experience is necessary, and this event is family friendly and open to all ages and abilities. As we are creating sacred space together, the consumption of alcohol and drugs is not permitted. Participants are invited to stay afterwards to swim in the lake and share an outdoor, potluck lunch. Please bring a bathing suit and towel and some healthy & delicious food to share (please no desserts).
