More about this evening Workshop... Sacred Drumming for Prosperity & Abundance You're invited to come learn how to work with the power of sound and vibration... The sacred drum is a powerful "resonator" instrument and so is our own voice... our "words" and our "beingness" hold vibrational energy and frequency even when they're positive or negative... The law of attraction "like-attracts-like" is absolute (and has nothing to do with personalities). No one lives beyond this law, for it is the law of the universe. "We
create by feeling, not by thought... When we learn how to mindfully focus on what we want to create or manifest (positive thought) and then empower and drive that focus along with the sacred drum and power of our spoken word through positive expression (feeling and emotion), the source/universe responds like-attracts-like "vibration" back to us....
Come spend an evening with weaver exploring various sound techniques with the sacred drum & our voice. We will specifically explore mantra seed sounds (chakra clearing) that come from the ancient Sanskrit - one of the oldest languages known... weaver will also share ancient manifesting sounds and mantra(s) that can assist to bring more abundance & prosperity into our lives when practiced regularly and mindfully. Come prepared to sing & chant together while drumming within sacred space.
What to bring to the workshop... Bring your own drums (any type) and rattles, (or any other resonator instrument you work with ie: crystal bowl, etc), some water to drink, a small stone for prayer/intentions, something sacred or special to you to share on the central altar if you wish, and your mesa (bundle), if you carry one.
NOTE: The space will be prepared with smudging of cedar and white sage and/or palos santos incense prior to the event beginning, not during... we will smudge for each other with dry cedar boughs - no smoke...
• Also, a limited number of drums will be available for rent @ $5 each (payable on the night of the event... please register for a drum by emailing Heathir here prior to event so weaver knows how many to bring... thanks! ...There will also be available some shakers & rattles, etc., if you don't wish to drum... • note: We will begin smudging & opening sacred space @ 7:30 sharp! We appreciate it for you to please arrive for 7:15 pm to sign-in & get set up... Thank you and we look forward to being in circle with you...

• What others have said about weaver's music, work and facilitation...
. . . . . "Thank you for sharing your 'talking hands' with us." -- Lynne, Vancouver BC ................................................. .
. . . ." Thank you so much for lending us your voice and your wonderful,
cool, powerful, just really freakin' awesome drumming. Samhain would
definately not have been the same with out it! Thanks again and again...
Powerful, Deep, Dark. Blessings to you this New Year from the whole
planning team." ................................................. . . . . ."From its inception in 1992, I have been a participant and planning team member who is assigned to conceive, plan and execute the multi-faith worship and ritual part of the Women's Spirituality Celebration annual conferences (Vancouver). The music person creates and executes the entire flow, energy and movement of this celebration. I was blessed to be able to work with carol, a wonderful, compassionate and gifted woman who brought her sacred sound from within to mingle with the ancient and power generating powers of the drums. In 2006 our theme for the conference was Creating Sacred Space and in 2008 it was Nurturing Spirit: Self-Community-Earth. Carol taught and sang songs and chants from diverse faith and spiritual traditions which was inspirational, soul searching, compassionate and celebratory!!!! Carol
has the gift of rising to the occasion and tailors the music to fit
the occasion. I wish the Divine to bless her as she continues to be
a joy to all who are touched by her love and music." ................................................. .
. . . . . . . "carol 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." ................................................. .
. . . ."Hi weaver, Just a quick note to say thank you for all the
wonderful words support drumming music laughter wisdom and joy. You
are a remarkable talent and I sit totally enthralled when you are making
music. I also want you to know how safe I feel in the group because
of your energy. I feel protected and at peace when you do any of the
ceremonial rites. I have learned a great deal... walk in beauty." ................................................. .
. . . . "The drumming was wonderful... the weekend was my first exposure
to the Inka Shamanic healing traditions.... Yet thank you, I deeply
appreciated Grandmother Wolfs' lesson and song." .................................................
She
sang and played guitar at my son's wedding and moved everyone to tears.
Her art work hangs proudly on my walls, and we are sisters in Reiki
as well. Give her a call." ................................................. .
. . . . "Dear weaver, thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and
the healing wisdom of music with me, us. Your gifts added a whole other
dimension to this training (Inca Medicine Wheel). I honour your gifts
and thank you for sharing them with us. Blessings. .................................................
. . . . .."Last nights drumming session was very powerful and it was
so very enjoyable and rejuvinating as always." ................................................. .
. . . . "Thank you again for the drumming circle. I enjoyed meeting
you and to experience the heartbeat and the journeying. It felt good
to the soul to experience so much vibration... I look forward to more."
