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!

8000
Sacred Drums Annual Global Ceremony
Let us join together with all indigenous nations around the world in calling for justice - for healing. ** According to a Sacred Prophecy revealed at the Otomi Ceremonial Center by Otomi Elder Sages, the day when the sounds of 8000 Sacred Drums join together is the beginning of the healing of Mother Earth. It is time to unify ourselves to rediscover the seeds of the Four Directions - to reactivate cosmic energy, heal historical wounds. It's time to respect life, liberty and the dignity of Our Peoples. The first great ceremony was held March 21, 2004 in Temoaya, Mexico. Drum circles joined around the world on the Spring Equinox. This will continue each year until 2012.

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." ................................................. . . . . ."Hi weaver, Just to let you know how grateful I am to have participated in your drum circle. It was so beautiful - tears well up in my eyes when you first sang to the East and my whole body was filled with vibration of the drum. I was touched by your caring words and the gentle soul you are - Your love for our Mother Earth was felt deeply in my heart. I hope everybody on our planet will one day experience a drum circle like yours - the world will be such a beautiful place to be in, don't you think?" -- Om shanti, Tran Tran ................................................. .
. . . ."Thank you for sharing your gift and love for music during
these sacred events. Your music is inspirational and has always grounded
me in spirit. I have appreciated your humour and teachings and healing
assistance in the group. May you always be sing and be filled with the
music of love, laughter and healing - may you walk in grace and beauty." ................................................. also, weaver on YouTube chanting Om Namah Shivaya (Christaya) on dulcitar @ the Terry Fox Theatre, 2008.... enjoy!

drums' sing and bring blessings to many." .................................................

ancient time and space... with much gratitude. ................................................. .
