Drums are one of the only objects you can hold in your hand that are universal to just about every culture that exists, or has ever existed, on our planet. Every culture uses rhythm instruments, and group drumming is today the fastest growing form of recreational music making around the world. The drum has the power to awaken our common memory, which is stored in our cells, of what it was like to live in our mother's womb, when all of our needs were taken care of. A time of very little stress, of warmth and love, and deep connection to our mothers - our fist drum teachers! Come and connect through the heartbeat to each other, and to a time before stress, when life was simpler and more sacred....
You are invited to 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.
Come and 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 envision the best case scenarios for 2018, 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 sacred circle. We will make music by co-creating a sonic landscape with tone chimes and resonator bells.
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, they can be a lot of fun, but this circle will take you deeper, into sacred space.
Please bring an intention, a journal and pen for insights received, and a drum or rattle if you have one. All percussion instruments are provided, but please bring a favourite drum if you have one. A variety of frame drums and hand drums will be available on a first come first served basis, but we will have a drum for everyone.
No experience is necessary, and these events are family friendly and open to all ages and abilities. As we are gathering in sacred space, the consumption of alcohol and drugs is not permitted.
