Meet weaver | sacred reiki drummer, Gabriola, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, BC

weaver's voice and drum are one with her heart. I have been transformed by her playing. Her strong voice calms, quiets, and stirs me. She is a light. The planet seems to resonate as she chants. The rhythms she channels are the heart beat of the mother. Her sacred drums' sing and bring blessings to many." -- Eva Rose

weaver, sacred earth drummer, spirit walker...

I have been walking an earth-keeper path since early child-hood... as spirit and my ancestors have called + guide me.... i was born in Prince George, BC (Lheidli T'enneh Territory). My ancestral roots are Celtic, (Scottish Highlands/Ireland), Slavic, Hungarian, Romanian, North Finland + Russian. Ten days later i was adopted + grew up on a small settler farm/community, south of Vancouver on the mud-flats of East Delta, BC (Boundary Bay, Tsawwassen Territory).

It was from living and playing upon this sacred flat landscape, big open sky, along with 'Apu' Mount Baker in my back yard that taught me to see in beauty ways...

I believe that for us to return to balance of right relationship (ayni), 'we' must choose to come together as community, to acknowledge and honour our blessed earth mother - to support her for the sacred gift and privilege of walking on her beautiful back.

A way to return, is to shift our consciousness... to awaken... stand in presence as extensions of source energy... within reverence as our ancestors once stood... to restore + create ceremony.... celebrate our rites of passage... to co-create with our dear mother with integral, reciprocal relationship in sacred partnership - for, we know wouldn't be here without her...

For over 50+ years i've been immersed with spirit guiding and initiating me to many teachings received... from our blessed Earth Mother and her healing Voice, the Sacred Drum... the ancient practice of Shamanic Reiki... through the ancestral memory from which i source... being unexpectedly, though gently, guided to the Andean Shamanic 'heart' teachings + initiations received from the Mountain People of Peru, the Q'ero... Where now, i'm proud to walk as Reiki Master (Usui), Mesa Carrier (personal bundle of caring stone) and Sacred Drum Carrier...

I also embrace the creative soul 'i am'... as multi-faceted sacred drummer, singer-songwriter, drum-maker and visual artist. It's not been an easy road... as, many times, for many reasons, i have attempted to resist my path... However, along with spirit, my sweet helpers and those who love me and held my back, gently guided me back on this path of beauty...

i am truly grateful... knowing i'm never alone... So far, it's been one fascinating + wild trip...

The earth does not belong to us - we belong to the earth and so... Let us shift our thinking from seeing and using our Earth Mother as a resource to honouring and seeing her as our Source...

My deep love and connection in partnership with our blessed earth mother is with the sacred spirit drum, strings and voice—gently moving and shifting energy with healing sacred sound - within safe, sacred space. I am also deeply honoured to carry and caretake a powerful wind drum known as laughing wolf and mother drum, windwalker.

in deep munay-love, weaver x (((o)))

"weaver's voice and presence is exquisite and deeply healing." - Linda Nardelli., Sunshine Coast, BC

"Carol, this beloved woman is such a gentle warm individual who can really open you up through sound, providing you with an opportunity to reset, let go of what no longer serves you or be with your own being. The accompaniment serves the whole experience so well to help ground one out, cajole the group energy together or create a space to process some of the learnings from the day." - Iain M., Abbotsford, BC

"I just love the way weaver holds space and conducts ceremony. She is so casual without all the theatrical BS you find elsewhere. She stands fully in her power, in complete integrity, and she is so humble about it. I always feel heard, seen, and supported." - Uli S., Delta, BC

"the earth is alive and she sings, calling us to remember our sacred place
and our dance in this life... she calls us to recognize that all of us walk around the sacred wheel, that whatever tradition we have come from, we can all trace our roots back to the tree of peace."
