Meet Us At The Place of Blessings:

The Place of Birth, Life, Death and Purification


In the midst of the never ending transitions life brings, we take a breath and find we are still here in the place of blessings - the place of initiations, of death and resurrections, of the unfolding path of evolving awareness.


Since the beginning of recorded time the frame drum, sistrums and bells have been used to create sacred space, dispel negative influences and purify the participants.  Join us for this evening of rhythmic meditations and breathing practices, along with chanting and humming sacred sounds to the frame drum -- an ancient technique for directly synchronizing the mind/body, creating conditions for psychological, physical, and spiritual clearing.  


Come into rhythm with us as we align ourselves with the ever changing new realities we face.  We'll work rhythmically to reintegrate our minds and bodies into the power of this present moment, the only moment we have.


In the words spoken first 2300 years ago by Seikilos for his dead wife, Euterpe:


As long as you live, SHINE!  Be Radiant.
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For your life is only too short
And time will call for you.

This is from my new CD, Invoking Aphrodite, based on ancient Greek hymns and texts chanted by the Greek Cypriot women of MaGaia. The ancient Greek sounds as powerful as Sanskrit.  More info below!

Late May, June 2010, Pilgrimage to Greece and Cyprus

In Cyprus -- two weekend workshops and pilgrimage:

Advanced Workshop for experienced Frame Drummers (must be confirmed with Layne Redmond for this workshop) and an Intro Level Frame Drum Workshop.
 

Join a group of Cypriot women and men to study the frame drum and the meditation practices of the ancient Bee Priestesses.  We'll also visit the great museums of Cyprus and the sacred sites of Aphrodite.  We will be a small group so contact us early!  If you are planning on attending the drumming retreat in Cyprus you must come with an appropriate Middle Eastern Style tambourine and for the advanced workshop you will also need a tar.

Possible extension of trip:

SHAMANIC TOUR OF THE ORACULAR SITES OF GREECE

We are in the planning stages for a pilgrimage to Greece and Cyprus. The Cyprus part will definitely happen and if all goes well we will go to the mainland of Greece to the oracular sites and visit the great museums of Athens.
