about weaver's sacred drum circle...

weaver honouring laughing wolf......to all who are called to the spirit of the drum

...come drum for peace
...come drum for healing
...come drum for our blessed earth mother

you are invited to come share & learn
about the spirit of the drum in sacred space...

facilitated by carol weaver, local vancouver musician & artist
weaver has been a drummer for as long as she can remember
she holds a third-level degree in the healing art of Reiki & has been initiated into the shamanic lineage of the Q'ero nation in Peru through the Four Winds Society & is a mesa carrier - including the ongoing study of her own Celtic heritage, shamanic healing traditions & art

she is honoured to carry and caretake a powerful Qilaut frame (wind) drum

in sacred circle, weaver shares her intuitive essence of the drum, with topics such as...

free drumming from a healing, spiritual & shamanic perspective
how to connect & get acquainted with your drum which is energetically, a living, breathing being and extension of who you are
how to care for & feed your drum including how to journey with your drum
creating dialogue about why we drum & the approach to rhythm
paying attention to the voice of the sacred drum & awareness of our intention when we drum
exploring the differences of how we drum - ie. the pulse versus the beat
explore forms of movement & rhythm including vocal rhythms & language
provide a safe space for us as a drum community to explore ways of healing, meditation & sacred intent for ourselves & our blessed mother earth, pachamama & of course, have fun!

the sacred drum circle is open
to all who are called to the spirit of the drum
regardless of what skill level or type of drum
...this circle is not about "performance" or "ability"
but about connection - from a spiritual perspective...

Come drum for Winter Solstice in Vancouver, BC...Samhain Sacred Drum Circle & Full Moon Ceremony with weaver...

- TBA - annually in late October, 2013
- Pre-Register below >>

- This circle is a go - see you tonight!

- facilitated by weaver
- Vancouver - Open to all
- 7:30 pm start - Doors open @ 7 pm
• subscribe to weaver's sacred drum circle email list for updates & future, related events >>

Let us gather together in community to celebrate & honour the Celtic New Year and the time of Samhain - This time of the year is a time when the veils are thinnest - the most sacred time of the year to acknowledge and honour our elders, ancestors and those who have recently passed... including a naming celebration for our newly born!

The winter quarter of Samhain brings the gifts of restoration and renewal, as the cold weather closes in and our blessed earth mother is coming to rest, so the soul is led to more reflective depths. It is traditionally associated with the remembrance of the ancestors, with the coming of death and the conception of new life.

In the human growth cycle, Samhain corresponds to the period of old age when wisdom, freedom of spirit and clarity are experienced.

Samhain is a good time to celebrate the lives of all wise elders, all those whose actions and ideas have brought resolution and peace, all holy ones whose sacrifice have brought new life and opened spiritual thresholds to all.

Song of Samhain

I am the hallow-tide of all souls passing...
I am the bright releaser of all pain...
I am the quickener of of the fallen seed-case...
I am the glance of the winter twilight....
I am the hearth-fire and the welcome bread...
I am the curtained awning of the pillow...
I am the unending wisdom's golden thread.

Caitlin Matthews

Greeting to the Winter Solstice...

Warm our beings to the core...

8000 Sacred Drums Annual Global Ceremony
- Every Spring Equinox on March 20th - sunrise to sunset
- For Vancouver Events - see below >>


"When 8000 sacred drums sound together,
an intense healing of Mother Earth will commence."
- 500 year-old Otomi Prophecy

more updates here...Again, the Otomi elders of Mexico will be holding annual ceremonies to gather as many sacred drummers together all around the globe to continue the fulfillment of their 500-year old prophecy with the powerful intention to open healing of our blessed earth mother - please join us by gathering together and/or drumming wherever you are at this time!

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.

Sacred Principles:
- Seal and heal the wounded vertices of Mother Earth.
- Identify and activate the Indigenous energy centers at sacred places, this is our duty.
- Plant and strengthen consciousness of love and respect for our Mother Earth. This is everyone's work.
- The Indigenous ancestral recommendation to create and practice our cullture of Peace and Life is fundamental.
- Recognition of the use of the energy and healing are the properties of our sacred instruments.

...........................................................................................

Organize in YOUR Area! It doesn't take much... Register your drums and then just pick a spot to meet and invite people to bring their drums or drum wherever you are on your own... and after creating sacred space (calling in the sacred directions) offer a prayer and a smudge:

1) Sing a prayer song, honour song for all peoples, our earth mother, our environment, our children...
2) or, if there's just a few of you, each person can share a prayer and a song - make your own event sacred with mindfullness and respect...
3) or, on your own? Offer a prayer and then drum that prayer within your heart - holding the vision of a present "healed-state" for our earth mother and all her children...
4) At pow wows, organizers can pick a time for all drums to come together. You can use sweetgrass, sage, juniper, tobacco, cedar, water, incense, light a candle - be mindful within sacred space asking for the helper spirits for protection...

Our blessed earth mother is calling us to return to remember her!

weaver performing at Massey Theatre....................................................

. . . . . "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!

.................................................

. . . . ."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."
-- Shirin Theophilus BSc (Hon.), MEd
Member, Planning team: Womens Spirituality Celebration

. . . . ."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
