YOUR drum is calling you!
In this week you will be guided through an embodied alchemical experience of the union of spirit and the body of the drum.
Gather with other magical beings and Birth your own Drum with ethically sourced animal hide during a 7-day retreat to connect with the earth, the animals and the plant medicines of the land.... We sit in the Circle way with others called to the central fire. We will sing, we will untangle our pasts and learn to reweave our presence in time with the heart beats of our earthly and cosmic grandmothers. This is a time to heal intergenerational and other traumas, to renew through the umbilical cord to mother energy. Each day of this 7 day retreat will connect with the elements- Water, Earth, Air and Fire, with ceremonies, foods and practices to reconnect with each element. Connect in to a way of being through purification ceremonies, daily yoga and Qigong.
This is a time to nourish ourselves through the healing aspects of food, communal support, and theta connection with our inner north star guidance to retrieve the rhythm of your unique heart beat through the portal of the hoop drum. The drum is a sacred gift from our blessed earth mother, it is a path of personal power and of re-connection.
