Blessings on this transitional time from Summer to Autumn.
I can imagine that we're all collectively feeling a stir as the seasons shift and a remembrance of our senses takes us back to last September, and the bigness around our experiences of the storm.
In support of the balanced dance of light and dark this Equinox, the next upcoming women's frame drumming event is in honor of the year anniversary of Helene & the connection of the drum beat heart beat of our own integrations from the past year – light and dark -.
We'll be blessed with guest facilitator Deanna Rose, as she shares in her gifts of plant medicine & relationship with herbal allies that offer support during states of shock. We'll also be graced with the depth of her songstress sound healing medicine and an opportunity to receive excerpts of readings from her recently published book “Tides of Magdalene”, a collection of poems written in the aftermath of Helene.
This year marked the 7th year anniversary of the volcanic natural disaster on the Big Island of Hawaii, which I evacuated my home from. It was an intense energy, as I experienced a 6.9 earthquake and woke to sulphur dioxide fumes enveloping the land. There were many blessings on the other side of it all, though looking back I have pondered many times how my integration process might have been more deeply supported by a circle of women..? An opportunity to bring forth my story and open to it's unique medicine, held within the shared field of loving sisters and the womb web of creation.
It is with great love and reverence for your journey, that Deanna and I welcome you to this circle.
Connecting with an ancient lineage of women frame drummers and fueled by the teachings of Layne Redmond, author of “When the Drummers Were Women” – we will learn and play the basic foundations + elemental strokes of the frame drum. We will explore the drum as a sacred tool of remembrance and come home to it’s power within community healing.
In honor of our individual and shared experiences of Helene, this event will be an opportunity to rhythmically weave and integrate our stories of grief, transformation, renewal and resiliency. We'll gather together in sisterhood to spell into being the elemental medicine that is here with us, for us - lovingly and wisely guiding our interconnected evolutionary journey with the planetary mother. We'll receive and deepen roots into the heart beat drum beat of our integrations, be cocooned in the healing vibrations of a sound bath and the soles of our feet blessed by the sacred mountain waters, honoring all that we have walked through.

"The drum was the means our ancestors used to summon the goddess and also the instrument through which she spoke. The drumming priestess was the intermediary between divine and human realms. Aligning with sacred rhythms, she acted as summoner and transformer, invoking divine energy and transmitting it to the community." —Layne Redmond
