WHAT HAPPENS DURING THESE CIRCLES?

DRUM AND JOURNEY CIRCLES (Dates Above)

Consciousness Shifting Medicine Wheel Drum Circles and Shamanic Journey Circles gather once or twice a month to learn and experience the ways of our indigenous elders.  These circles are interactive teaching circles, and your experience is your primary teacher.  The rhythms are ancient and connect us with the energies of the earth - the animals, elements, trees, stone people, plant people, and the very heart of the Earth Mother.  Some say they leave feeling profound peace - even bliss.  You will learn and experience:

  • Shamanic drum rhythms
  • Chanting
  • Guided visualization, meditation and shamanic journey
  • Medicine Wheel teachings
  • Sacred dance

Absolutely no experience is necessary and newcomers are honored.  If you do not have a frame drum, one will be provided.  Please bring a blanket and a journel to record your experiences.

SOUND CIRCLES (Dates Below)

During a Sound Healing Circle Ceremony you simply surrender to total relaxation while listening to various instruments played for you individually, and for the circle as a whole.  This is an integrative healing opportunity, and some have found this to be a deeply transformational process.  Feed yourself with beautiful sounds, created in the space of love, and understand in your bones why some great thinkers on our planet call sound the medicine of the future.  You will experience many sound healing processes:

  • Meditative drumming
  • Singing bowls
  • Tuning forks
  • Powerful sound healing music
  • A journey to discover or reconnect with your power animal or guide.

Please bring a journal for recording your experiences; a pad, blankets and pillow for your comfort while lying on the carpet.

DRUM BIRTHING RETREATS

October 24 - 25, 2016 OR February 20 - 21, 2016

Do you yearn for an authentically created Native American frame drum?  Would you bond more deeply with a drum you made with your own hands and heart?  Join a circle of incredible, like-minded, spiritual souls as we create our drums in the way of the Shaman.  Celebrate the birth of your drum and the birth of some aspect of yourself which may emerge during the course of the weekend.  For more information and a photograph of the drum you will create see Retreats and Workshops and Sacred Medicine Wheel Drum.

Some beds, sofas, sleeping bags on the floor, and camping outside are all offered at my studio in the rolling hills of Landenberg, Pa.  We begin at 10:00 am on Saturday morning and finish around 5:00 pm on Sunday.

Registration is limited (a deposit holds your space) and closes 2 weeks prior to a retreat - please register early

SELF-HEALING THROUGH SHAMANIC JOURNEY

SATURDAY
December 5
10am - 4pm
 
During our time together you will be introduced to the ancient ways of the shaman.  Journeying can serve as a powerful support for the many experiences we go through in our lives.  As you follow the heartbeat of the drum, you will learn the techniques to enter the Shamanic state of consciousness to seek guidance, insight and healing from Spirit, your power animals or from the collective consciousness.

Join us as we explore the oldest known healing modality on the planet.

Bring a blanket, journal, your lunch and a frame drum if you have one, if not one will be provided.

...so much has happened that I attribute to the work...it is so powerful...The work manifested in more than dreams...it manifested in reality!!  ~L
 
WINTER SOLSTICE RETREAT (BUFFALO MEDICINE)

SATURDAY, December 20, from 10am through
SUNDAY, December 21 at 4pm

Join us as we learn from the great Buffalo being how to truly walk in a place of giveaway.  She teaches us how to be in the flow of sharing with others that with which we have been blessed.  The Buffalo teaches us how to step as elders in the world (regardless of actual age) and how to touch the ones who yearn to know the old ways.  The Buffalo and the Winter time teach us about the little deaths of what no longer serves us so we can step fully into the light that is emerging. We will learn through story, ancient drum rhythms, shamanic journey, guided visualization and simple sacred dance. We learn from the shoulders of the ancient ones.

Those with physical needs will be provided with a bed.  Others may sleep on sofa's or in sleeping bags on the floor.  Please register early as space will fill.


Bring a blanket, journal, a potluck for dinner and a frame drum if you have one, if not one will be provided.

TWO-DAY RATTLE BIRTHING WORKSHOP

Join me on two Saturdays to create a stunning Native American Rattle.  I will guide you in the Shamanic technique of journeying so you can gain insight about your power animal, and bond deeply with the rattle you are birthing.  I have patterns to make a Bear, Wolf, Buffalo, Arrow, Crescent Moon, Full Moon, Flame or Butterfly...or you might be inspired to create your own pattern.  You must be committed to attend both days.

ONE-DAY DRUM BIRTHING WORKSHOPS

SATURDAY


Date to be determined

Do you yearn for an authentically created Native American frame drum made with your own hands, but cannot find the time in your schedule for a weekend retreat?  This one-day experience is a wonderful alternative.  Join a circle of incredible, like-minded, spiritual souls as we create our drums in the way of the Shaman.  Celebrate the birth of your drum and the birth of some aspect of yourself which may emerge during the course of our time together.  For more information or photograph of the drum you will make see Retreats and Workshops and Sacred Medicine Wheel Drum.

ONE-DAY KID'S DRUM BIRTHING WORKSHOP

SATURDAY

January 2, 2016 - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

This may be one of my favorite days of the year.  What an honor it is to help the next generation create drums!  Children of all ages and at least one parental image (parent, aunt, uncle, etc.) gather to create a beautiful and authentic Native American style drum through story and dance.  I often say, we would live on a different planet if everyone got up in the morning and played their little drums for five minutes while holding a space of love.  The young ones understand that - they are ready to birth a new age of enlightenment!
 
Many size drums are available depending on the age of your child.
 

Unless otherwise indicated, all Circles, Workshops and Retreats will be held in Landenberg, Pennsylvania

Other circles open when there is enough energy.
