Medicine Ways- Drumming

Medicine Drumming- 

And the protective art of elemental alignment

This workshop covers the importance of utilizing the drum in the correct way when implementing it as a tool for meditations and spirituality as in the “Medicine Person” style. My Teacher, Meechgalanne used the drum many times during ceremony and meditation when I was training with him. He would go into great detail before hand about what the drum is and what its deeper connections are in the Medicine world of spirit. He always stressed the importance of utilizing the drum energy properly or else it would actually create dangerous energy openings in whoever was participating that could allow things in that should not be.

In this workshop students learn  the following:

-about the drum and its deeper connections to the Medicine World of Spirit

-how to properly use the correct energy to create the desired state for drumming

-how to use energy as a form of protection during drumming

-how to control the energy centers of the body during drumming

-how to utilize the drum energy to align with elemental energies

By the time this workshop is finished students  have a solid foundation of techniques to work the Medicine Drum in the path of spirituality to practice within the context of their own lives.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

So if you wish to join us in the Vermont Mountains to work the  the spirit of drum- then come on out! We would love to see you.

Medicine Ways- Plant Communication 1

Plant Communication 1

Meechgalanne always talked deeply about communing with all life and plants were no exception. The most common way the old tribal peoples of past generations found the knowledge they did about the plant world was to communicate directly with them. They taught detailed methods of what is more commonly known today as “Plant Spirit Medicine”.

In this workshop you will learn the techniques of how to delve deeply into the realm of plants. You will  learn how to communicate with them and how to open yourself to understand them. Techniques and deeper reasoning behind them will be discussed and practiced so that you too can learn Plant Communication. This is the first and so foundation level of this skill.

This will be a three hour workshop and due to the need for undisturbed concentration children under the age of 16  will not be allowed.
