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 Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, an auspicious time when the earth is closest to the sun, which means there is an abundance of fire energy available for us to soak up. We can use that energy to inspire up, to uplift us, to energize us. To light our fires. 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).

Rufus Glassco is a drum circle facilitator who specializes in drumming for health and wellness. He has been studying modern shamanic practices and shamanic coaching for the past 7 years through the Institute of Shamanic Medicine, and with Sandra Ingerman in the US. He’s also been learning from curanderos and chamanes for even longer in Mexico, where his wife Dinora is from. He believes that everyone, regardless of bloodline or ethnic origin, can access the knowledge and practice of Shamanism, because it connects us to our ancestors. If you go far back enough in time, all of us had ancestors who lived in greater harmony with the natural world, and were able to better communicate with, and benefit from the connection to, the natural and spiritual worlds.
