Shamanic Drumming Circle

with Jill Dancing Otter and Michelle Speaking Hawk

You are invited to join us in celebrating the spirit of the drum! Together, following the heartbeat of our drums, we will connect to the deepest part of our beings, the land, our ancestors and to each other as indigenous peoples all over the world have done for thousands of years. Shamanic drumming helps us heal, gain access to our own inner wisdom and build community.This circle meets on the third Tuesday of each month.

All men and women over the age of 12 welcome.

The Medicine Wheel

with Michelle Speaking Hawk

The Native American Medicine Wheel and the Celtic Wheel of the Year are both a way of life and a mirror for helping us learn and grow. By working with the energies of the chief solar events and their mid-points, we are connected with all life, shown how to have balance, how to connect with the seasons and the environment and much more. These non-linear ways of being help us see through the illusion of time and space, connecting us with the beauty and harmony of the spirit world.

This circle encompasses the energies of the 4 quarters and the 4 cross-quarters. As we work with our growing edges and explore together in community, we will work with the energies of the directions, the seasons, the Totems, the aspects of Self and much more

Starting in March, in the East, we begin with our engagement with life and work through the annual cycle of the year and our lives – putting you at the centre of the circle of your life. We will use teachings and flow in connection with spirit, to work with our edges and celebrate our successes together. If you want to spread your spiritual wings or master challenges in your life this circle is for you.

All men and women over the age of 12 welcome.

Ceremony

Sacred Pipe Ceremony

with Speaking Hawk

In this Ceremony with the Sacred Pipe, praying with and for All Our Relations, we offer prayers from our heart to Creator. Native peoples have prayed in this way since the pipe was brought to the people. The story of how the Pipe came to the people depends on the tribe and lineage. We honour White Buffalo Calf Woman, Arrow Woman and Buffalo in our Ceremony. We use Knickknick in the Pipe, an herbal blend including tobacco. Our prayers are carried to Creator with the smoke. But it is not necessary to take in the smoke, you may pray by simply holding the Pipe.

This Sacred Ceremony is open to men and women. Please bring a pillow to sit on, a lap cloth and an open heart. Instructions given to beginners.

As a pipe carrier, it is my honour to live my life non-judgmentally, impeccably, and as a peace-maker. I am available upon request to bring the Sacred Pipe for Ceremony for you, for anyone who needs Medicine in this way, bringing Peace to any situation in your life.

All men and women over the age of 12 welcome.

Fire Ceremony

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

In this ancient Ceremony, we release old patterns, beliefs, relationships or other things that we no longer need, things that no longer serve us, things keeping us from being our true, authentic selves. We will give these things to the Sacred Fire that it may burn these old thoughts, patterns, beliefs, or behaviours from us.

Giving these things to the fire allows us to make our own choices taking responsibility for the path we have chosen. We must be the change that we want to see in the world!

Drum or Rattle Creation Ceremony 

with Speaking Hawk and Dawn Rising

In these beautiful Ceremonies, you will create a Sacred Medicine piece in the form of a drum or a rattle.

Shamans follow the beat of the drum, the heartbeat of our Earth Mother, to journey to other realms of the Spirit World which is why some traditions call the drum ‘Spirit Horse’. This Sacred Medicine piece will be your friend, your guide, your healer and your teacher.

All materials are ethically sourced and we will honour the spirit of the Totem Animal and the Standing People that go into our drum.

Dreaming Ceremony

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

Dreaming – a spirit journey – has been used for thousands of years to connect to our higher self, our Totems and Spirit Guides, and the Great Mystery. In this ceremony, we will dream with and for one another to obtain guidance, help and healing or to magnetise and manifest our intentions and dreams. We will dream with the Dreamtime Totems – Swan, Dolphin, Lizard and Dragonfly – as well as the Elementals – Earth, Air, Fire and Water – to bring our dreams to life!

Learning to be good co-creators is part of our Earth Walk! This ceremony is open to all – all you need is an open heart.

Individual Healings

Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising are available for individual sessions or healing sessions upon request.

To include but not limited to the following:

Soul Retrieval

with Dawn Rising and Speaking Hawk

Do you feel that something is missing inside? Have you been searching for something your whole life but don’t really know what you are looking for? Sometimes pieces of our soul break off and leave us through trauma or accidents, illness or abuse. These pieces leave in order to survive the experience. Many times they will not come back without help and that is where the shaman comes in. Soul Retrieval is an ancient and powerful ceremony to find and bring these pieces of the soul back to the individual. It is a ceremony to heal the person and make them whole again by reuniting the person with these lost pieces. Then work of integrating these piece(s) begins for the individual. This integration allows people to reclaim the joy of living and their connection with the Earth Mother.

Both Speaking Hawk and Dawn Rising are available to perform this ceremony. Please contact either of us.

Cutting Ceremony

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

The Cutting Ceremony identifies and severs any attachments or energy cords between you and another being, whether in a physical body or in the spirit world, that are in place for the purpose of draining energy from you.

Soul Healing

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

As part of our work, shamans also help the dead and dying – that is, we help those who are preparing to or have dropped their robes from this life. Death is, after all, a passage or crossing to the next world. Soul Healing is an opportunity to help those souls that may get stuck between worlds. As shamans, we help heal and release these souls so that they may complete the death process and cross safely to the next life.

Clearing and Blessings

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

This ceremony is appropriate for spaces, home or business, individuals or families during Rites of Passage, changes and transformations, healing, new endeavors, and/or trips. We first purify the existing energies and then call in peaceful, harmonious energies. Blessing the spaces we where we live allows them to reflect the light of our soul and shine!

Shamanic Dreaming or Journey

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

Shamans have used the drumbeat to enter into a vision state for thousands of years. The drum, or rattle in some cultures, is used to take the dreamer into the dreamtime or on a Shamanic Journey. In the dreamtime, we meet and can talk with guides, animal totems or others carrying Medicine. These beings guide us and protect us. When we have questions in our lives, we can journey to the upper, lower or middle worlds to seek out these beings in the dreamtime where we can get answers. This is a very powerful way to bring us clarity.

You can learn to journey into the dreamtime and meet beings who can help guide, assist and protect you.

Power Animal Totem Retrieval

with Speaking Hawk or Dawn Rising

Power Animal Retrieval returns vitality, power, strength, and healing. Loss of this vital, protective energy can happen for a number of reasons and leave you vulnerable to illness, dis-ease, anxiety, depression, struggling to cope, seeing stuck or suicidal. how they assist you and the medicine or teachings they carry. The return of your Power Animal and building a strong relationship with this love, compassionate spirit returns power and joy to us.
