Gather in Community

Shamanic drum circleS 

The Monthly Shamanic Drum Circle focuses on deepening our connection/relationship with the helping Spirits, so as a community we become more of a healing force both in our lives and in our community. Come and be with like-minded, spiritually focused individuals. Experience the deep compassionate vastness of your authentic path as it unfolds for you. 
Please bring a drum and/or rattle (if you have one), a blanket, and an eye cover for journeying. Comfortable seating provided. 

PLEASE NOTE! Knowing how to journey is a prerequisite to participate in drum circle. We offer a How to Journey workshop at 5 p.m., before each drum circle. Learn how to create sacred space and journey to the lower and upper worlds to meet your helping Spirits and Power Animal. Afterwards, you are welcome to participate in the drum circle with seasoned practitioners at 6:30! 
​
A $15 workshop fee applies, in addition to a $5 or more donation for drum circle. Questions? Contact us.

Sacred Medicine Walk

Slow your pace, greet the Spirits present in nature, and walk in harmony with our non-human friends. Transpersonal psychologist Merry Coburn will lead this one-day Sacred Medicine Walk through fields and tree-lined borders. Bring your intention for healing or a wish for clarity. Engage with the wise Spirits of the land. Sit quietly with an old tree, a gentle stream or an ageless rock. See, hear, and feel their message for you. Share what you learned with others as our day concludes in a circle.

Before the walk, Shamanic teacher Cynthia Nado will provide instruction on how to journey in the shamanic way. The medicine walk is a wonderful event for families. Children love it! A wonderful time for families. All are welcome!

Please drinking water, snack, insect/tick repellent, an eye cover/bandanna, and a cushion or blanket/pad to sit upon.
