Blessings on the descending energy and summer's green turning to red, orange, yellow - falling to the ground to become fertile compost for next year's creations. Feeling this shift as a beginning of a new cycle, a time of letting go and letting our lives be led and guided more so by the internal realms of nourishing darkness and that which cannot be ‘seen’.
November's gathering is in honor of Samhain, a cross-quarter holyday that traditionally aligned with the lunar calendar and journeyed into the thinning veil between otherworld on Scorpio new moon (November 19th this year).
The drum as mirror and familiar to the womb and a doorway to our ancestral motherlines, we will rhythmically open the vibrational pulse of this magical doorway. As the ebb of the new moon leads us toward the heart of darkness, we have the opportunity to become permeable to the fertile nourishment & profound potential of the inherited gifts of our womb ancestors. We'll sip on the bittersweet warmth of Mugwort tea, as an ally in claiming the treasures of the motherline - restoring and reforming our power and coming home to the remembrance of who we are.
Fueled by the teachings of Layne Redmond, author of “When the Drummers Were Women” – we will learn and play the basic foundations and explore the drum as a sacred tool of transformation and healing.
"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
