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 ours!
If you are drawn to be here please call or email Miriam at (919) 304-5754 or
mailto:melieber@mebtel.netso I’ll know how many people to expect and give you directions if needed. Come prepared for outdoor conditions (December may be indoors). If it rains really hard we will come indoors and use the woodstove….Please dress for ceremony (knees and shoulders covered), and women please wear skirts or sarongs over your pants. Bring drums, rattles, water to drink and food to share (optional).
Gifting is appropriate and appreciated.

VISITING ELDERS
Arapaho Little Boys and Girls Sweat Lodge Ceremony at Drumsong Sanctuary for the Soul led by Sharon Mitchell
Saturday, March 27 We will build a New Lodge
Sunday, March 28 Sweat Lodge
Saturday, October 23 Sweat Lodge
Bring yourselves and your prayers to this lodge. As the water is poured over the sacred stones the steam will carry our blessings to creator and assist us to purify. The name of this lodge refers to an Arapaho tradition that is gentler and more flexible than some sweat lodge traditions but does not mean that is intended only for children as I have been asked this question often. This is a lodge for people of all ages to come and bask in the womb of the earth mother and the gentle teachings of our grandmother Sharon.
Rev. Sharon Mitchell has been honored with the passing down of the tradition of this Arapaho Nation sweat lodge. She has been on the Red Road, living Native American Spirituality for over twenty years.
Her experience will inspire you to discover the power that you carry within you to manifest Grandmother‘s Spirit in your personal life. Rev. Sharon is a Science of Mind Ordained Minister bringing together New Thought and Ancient Wisdom in a weekly circle. Rev. Sharon is part of the Pastoral Team at the Mt. Area Hospice. She creates sacred and traditional ceremonies in her business, Ceremonies From the Heart.
Workday options: Saturday March 20, Friday March 26 and Saturday, March 27 or let me know when you are available to help with cutting, splitting and gathering wood and stones, raking, moving blankets, etc. The preparations are part of the ceremony and are a labor of love and communion with the land, the tall standing ones, the stone people, the water and enrich one’s experience of the ceremony greatly as we joyfully do this sacred work together.
Please contact Miriam (919) 304-5754 or mailto:mailto:%20melieber@mebtel.netto RSVP, find out protocols, directions and ask questions. I will send more information to those planning on attending as to how to prepare and what to bring. Directions are also available on my website www.drumsongsanctuary.com.

PAINTING FROM OUR MEMORIES:
The Heart Beat of the Central Drum has been courting us with the words of our native mind and tongues through the whispering of the leafless trees this winter. This communication has been using the colors of the winter’s twilights and has been nudging the flanks of the deer, elk, buffalo, cows, and goats to come forth out of the hidden caves and recesses of our own cold tangled manes and tails.
From the place of your inner visionary and artist, now is the time to call in the memory Medicine of your drums and the strength your hearts desire. Whether it’s the airy feathers and flight of the small people, or the cold wash of the surf all are being invited to the ceremony of the “Brushing of The Quetzal’s Feathers” and to fly.
Visionary art for our Drums.
Your challenge is to embrace your visionary artist and tap into our collective rich traditions. Infuse your artisty with the drum and experience your “Dreaming your Life into Creation.” Your gift for Spirit is your creative self. Dream with the Gods and Goddess. Find a clearer connection with your own helpers, guides, and protectors.
Investigate new skills with the use of your drum to find answers to your personal questions.
Divination and protocol will be employed to find the meanings and share the teaching of our designs. Shamanism practices of health and healing with the drum will be addressed.Transform your life with the power and wisdom of ceremony.
