Hello Fellow Travelers, 10/4/07
I can’t believe it is already October! The summer went by in a flash, a heat flash! What a remarkable show of stamina the plant beings have demonstrated week after week in this hot dry weather. I am given strength by their insistence on living, on digging their roots a little deeper, by casting their seeds out for distant rains to sprout our future landscape with. We have been feeding the deer our melon rinds and giving them water and asking them to spare the plants that are still standing with green heads against all odds. The creek is dry with no sound of the bull frogs. I hope they have buried themselves into the mud or hopped all the way to the river. A beautiful box turtle has been enjoying the shady shelter of the cavern within the grandmother beech tree here where the earth is dark and cool.
Thunder beings, we call you forth to quench the thirst of these lands and to replenish the water tables of the region, we are grateful for you and long to hear your strong voice echoing above us and to feel the rain on our skin and in our hair. The cooling of the air tells us that Fall is arriving with her colorful cloak to brighten our dusty vision with amber, red, gold, orange, yellow, crimson, umber and the magenta skyline as the October sun sets to make way for that large autumn orb in the sky. The night eagles here at Drumsong sing loudly and raucously in this season reminding us to pay attention to that which we don’t see and to give thanks for it all!
Be sure to scroll through to see all the great teachers and ceremonies coming this fall and winter. We have sweat lodge, drummmaking, teaching circles and fire ceremonies. Or you can just go to the website and check there, http://www.drumsongsanctuary.com/ or the blog http://www.drumsongsanctuary.blogspot.com/ which I’m still learning to use (patience please). I hope to see you again soon and to share sacred space and time with you or just give me a call at 919 304-5754 to connect.
In gratitude for my life and yours,
Miriam

Mondays: Oct 8, Oct 29, Dec 3 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm
Our Monday night healing circle invites you to join us for a Fire Ceremony to release what no longer serves you. You will have the opportunity to shed beliefs, feelings, thoughts, relationships or anything else that is hampering your ability to be fully and completely who you are by offering them to the fire. We will witness each other as we make new agreements with ourselves and dream our lives into being. We will feed the holies and ask their assistance in recreating ourselves, our thoughts and our lives as we wish them to be. The choice is always yours!
The gifting basket will be available for your generous contribution, remembering that what we give to the spiritual sources in our lives comes back ten fold to us.

This circle provides a supportive environment for those who have had a soul retrieval to communicate with the returned pieces of soul and to support each other in keeping the agreements made to them. This teaches us to be impeccable with our word, to honor the relationships and agreements we make in our lives, as demonstrated by our actions. You will be in the company of others who are welcoming back pieces of themselves and making room inside for this reunion to take hold. You will have the opportunity to journey in the dreamtime to renegotiate soul contracts made long ago that impact your life today and co-create the life you wish for yourself now.
The gifting basket will be available for your generous contribution, remembering that what we give to the spiritual sources in our lives comes back ten fold to us.
