Rattle Making Ceremony with Zoe Allison
At Drumsong Sanctuary for the Soul
Saturday August 9, 2008
$75.oo (materials included)
9:00 am –1:00 pm


The ancient rattle gives us access to the unseen realms and has been used to dispel illness, dis-ease and also during life’s many celebrations. The sound of the rattle is magic and the ritual use of it’s energy can move us to create a deeper place of connection to ceremony within us. You will create a rattle and charge it with your own energy to assist you in calling in and working with your own helpers, guides, teachers and protectors. We will use simple techniques of sewing, painting and dreaming to create from our own inner wisdom a place where the magic of the rattle can assist us. Whether your rattle is made of hide or gourds, it will include the beings of the tree people, the four leggeds, the sacred plant people and all our relations. We will give thanks to all the beings and Mother Earth who in her abundance has given us refuge with our spirit relations who come to assist us.

Please BRING some or all of these sweet gifts from nature:
Sea shells, sea salt, seeds, beads, small round stones (corn seed size),
Any personal scissors, awls, needles, cutting boards you may prefer using.

Firewalking is an ancient ritual that teaches people to reach beyond their limiting beliefs. In so doing we bring greater balance and beauty into our lives and spark our ability to co-create our personal dream. Marada brings this primitive practice of Firewalking into our contemporary setting, giving us tools to improve our lives, while keeping alive the sacred nature of the ceremony. Many people say this evening program is the most transformational experience of their life. Whether you walk on the coals or not, you will feel empowered and inspired.

The intent is to align with the elemental energies of the fire and ignite the fire within each of us. Being with the fire allows us to step through our fears and become the people we are meant to be. The evening with the fire allows us to merge with our own spirit ...fueling our passion and enthusiasm for what we desire to create for our lives.

This intent is made possible by spending the evening working with the fire and if we choose to, walking over the coals. However it is not required to walk in order to align with this element. This will truly be your individual choice and an amazing experience whether or not you walk the coals.

We will be spending the evening outdoors (rain or shine) so bring what you will need to stay dry and comfortable bring your favorite snack or dish to share afterward.

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 during the ceremony. 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.

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!
