SACRED BELOVED
lineage, medicine, DRUM weaving
This season's drum weaving is April 28-29th in Portland, for those who are called to make their medicine drum. We will be using deer hide and maple rounds, and weaving with an Apache weave. This weekend is for anyone hearing the deep call to connect through the drum. If you are ready to listen to the heartbeat of the earth and allow your hands to create your own unique drum, you are ready. I tend to lead best for others who are interested in working with their personal ancestral healing, and who are, in some way, embracing the art and path of healing in their personal or community practice.
A two-day drum birth is a big endeavor, come prepared to dive in, to lose track of how you though you'd be doing it, and to create room in your heart, mind, and spirit for a path of healing. Our drums will be brought together at the end of the weekend with a fire ceremony and song.
Saturday we will begin with tea ceremony at 10am to open the circle and intention, we will be meeting in my sacred workspace in Southeast Portland. We will spend the day together, connecting with each other and with our purpose. I hold space for everyone's hearts to be fully present and for each of you to fully sit with your intention, to open to what else may be wanting to come through. Saturday is a nurturing day, we let the maple rounds and the hides choose us, we paint and prepare the rounds, and we will dive into some gentle activities to connect you with each other and with your purpose and calling. If you would like you can take the round and hide home to connect with it overnight.
Sunday we will meet at my home on the Willamette river. We are next to the very potent Elk Rock Island. This land is so ready for our blessings and will in return hold us and carry us through this sweet gateway. We will begin our day with tea ceremony, then dip our hides in the river. As soon as they soften we will begin to weave them....this process takes time and we will stop for lunch and nourishment. I will be providing some simple and delicious food, and serving cacao during the weave. As the drums are all finished up, I will start a fire and around 6pm we'll head out to seal each drum with the fire's heat, to awaken each drum, and the best part...to witness each others' first drum sounds.
Schedule:
Saturday 10-5 with a one hour lunch at 12:30 or 1:00.
Location: 117 SE Taylor Ste 201. There are several restaurants in the area or bring a lunch.
