BOOKING ESSENTIAL - this event usually sells out so early booking is recommended.
These Healing Drum events honour the celebrations of the ancient calendar. The closest event celebrated for this session is Samhain/Halloween & All Souls Day. This is the time of year when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is thin, meaning connection with those who have passed is easier. It's also traditionally a time when we remember those who walked on this Earth before us and when we honour our ancestors. So for this session, the focus is connecting with ancestors for our personal reasons and healing needs and honouring them for all they taught us and brought into being as a whole group.
You can use this session to connect with your own direct ancestors or with others who walked on this Earth before us. They may be able to bring their wisdom, healing, love and guidance to you as you drum or meditate or both.
We will send out our gratitude for all the ancestors brought us, shared with us and celebrate our experience of them in any way we can.
Very similar to the previous Healing drum and meditation sessions, this is a standalone group where we open up to receive personal healing and also share what we have to give (if indeed we're in a position to give). We celebrate, lift the energy and liberate ourselves through the rhythms of the drum that we create and in the intentions we set.
The group is free flow in the sense that participants can choose to simply sit and soak up the healing rhythmical vibes created, or they can join in with drumming and other instruments, or indeed clapping and singing if they wish!
No experience is necessary.
The session usually begins with either a short meditation to connect with the season, quieten the mind or a gentle heartbeat rhythm to connect with ourselves and the rhythm of the Earth below our feet.
Each participant receives what I term 'an energy shake down', or a shamanic sound cleanse, where everyone sits and mindfully experiences a range of sound vibrations around them, dedicated to them and their own unique energetic vibration. The intention of this is to cleanse the energy field, lightening the mind, body & spirit.
This then leads into some more free-flow energetic and/or soulful drumming as the vibe or the mood takes us. We finish with a guided meditation to some light recorded music. The meditation will be focused on connecting with the ancestors, but is unscripted so it can be absolutely inspired by the group dynamics and the energies of the evening.
The group allows us to experiment in letting go of control and to experience freedom - essentially expressing ourselves freely through rhythm, offering out to the universe, and opening up the space to allow healing and inspiration in. Part of the beauty of the session is the spontaneity and trusting that whatever is needed will come to pass within the hour and a half session.
I bring only my shamanic healing drums, other drums and percussion instruments, my meditation music, myself and my energy. And, as with the previous groups, I shall await what I am given to share with those who attend with open minds and open hearts from the universal energy, 'the space in between' or what some like to call ‘spirit’ or ‘the divine’!!
