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! •

. . . . . . . "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." .................................................

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." ................................................. .

eternity - i love the drumming and the lyrics. thanks so much for bringing

of environmental activists and earth lovers, but your expression of
love is unique - you connect us to our mother in such a gentle, empowering,

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

healer. I recommend her to all my friends. Not only is she talented,
reliable and dependable, she is intuitive in her art, her music and
her healing ...a very rare combination of qualities.
