I am collaborating with my dear, wild friend Gabriel Ross to bring you a special drumming event to explore the four elements and what they can teach us…
Women’s Drum Circle :: Exploring the Elements // EARTH
An evening of meditation, drumming, breathing, and exploring.
The elements of air, water, fire, and earth have unique and inspiring aspects that we can embody and bring their lessons back into our lives. When we connect to the natural rhythms of the planet and her seasons, we tune in to our own ability to grow, bloom, release, and begin again.
Earth is connected to the season of winter in the Celtic tradition, so as the outside world around us prepares for hibernation and colder days, we too will dive into our inner being and see what lessons earth has to teach us for the dreaming season of winter. Earth has a stable, grounded, nurturing energy and we’ll explore our connection to earth by discussing its properties, embodying its unique qualities, and inviting in it’s wisdom it has to teach us by drumming, journeying, and sharing.
Bring with you a favorite drum, if you have your own (plenty of drums provided if you need one!) and a blanket or yoga mat if you’d like to lie down for the meditation. No experience with drumming or meditation necessary!
