Autumn Colors

Greetings Everyone,

Aaahh, the fall colors are sublime. This weekend I‘ve been out walking in the rain and driving past trees on fire with orange, yellows and reds. We had some cool weather and more is on the way. I’ve been stacking wood and getting ready for the cold weather. I love the smell of the wood, feeling it in my hands, hearing the thud of logs landing atop one another, splitting kindling and feeling my muscles tighten as I grip the axe and feel it sink into the end of the wood. I love the focus required to use the tools and knowing that these tall standing ones have given their lives and will also heat our home. The roses and honeysuckle have lingering blooms and the little porch lizard has moved from the flower pot to the wood pile but still greets me as I come and go. The spiders continue to catch the last of the summer’s bug harvest in their shimmering webs.

I’m heading south for a Vision Quest Ceremony so we will miss the Day of the Dead Fire Ceremony here this year, but we’ll meet at the winter solstice around the fire circle (Dec. 20th). Prior to that we will have circles here at Drumsong, a Clan Mother’s circle with Robin Lynne, a sweat lodge (Dec 5th) with Sharon Mitchell, and then in January Will Rockingbear and Zoe Allison Rockingbear return to our area for teachings, healings and drummaking. Please read the newsletter for more information.

May the vibrancy of the autumn colors illuminate your heart and bring a smile to your face in this season of great gratitude.

Peace, Love and Gratitude,
Miriam

Arapaho Little Boys and Girls Sweat Lodge Ceremony
at Drumsong Sanctuary for the Soul led by Sharon Mitchell
Saturday December 5, 2009 10:00 am till……after the feast.
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.

Workdays: Saturday November 21 and Friday December 4

or by letting 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 melieber@mebtel.net ) to 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 http://www.drumsongsanctuary.com/.

DRUMSONG SANCTUARY FOR THE SOUL
Miriam Lieberman, MA, LPC
1920 Western Trail
Chapel Hill, NC 27516

www.drumsongsanctuary.com

A warm wintry greeting to you,

This season of going within has called me into the lodge to dream, rest and heal the deep within places with quiet time by the woodstove listening to the ancestors and guides. It is a time to work on medicine pieces and to hone our intentions for this New Year. Here at the lodge part of that is fresh paint and fresh perspective. The rains have blessed us pretty steadily replenishing our water tables and providing many gray soggy days to deepen the turn inward, to be rather than to do. I’m grateful for all the teachers in my life who remind me that joy is my birthright and that fear and anger can be transformed into trust and right action. I am learning from my teacher that generosity heals anger. I listen much these days to the chanting of the Dalai Lama and feel his commitment to non-violence in the face of great challenge as an inspiration to my life and practice.

In this time of political transition and wars that engender suffering it is a time to be the peace we pray for, to call it forth in our thoughts, actions and dreams. In a week’s time we will have a new president here and hopefully many positive changes in our nation and world. Let us each take responsibility for our own thoughts and actions, to speak our truth in loving and kind ways and hold ourselves accountable first and foremost for the healing we bring into our own lives and the lives of others. May we abundantly embody our medicine gifts and be blessed ten-fold in return for each act of kindness and generosity (to self and others) that we freely give. May this year bring us together in ceremony and healing.

With great gratitude for life,
Miriam 1/12/09

GODDESS AND GODS: TEACHINGS FOR THE MODERN NOBILITY
In our modern times we often look to others to see how to act; or at the very least reflect on how dysfunctional our personal families are. Do we see immature, weak or absent mothers and fathers? Are our kings and queens sufficiently present? Are the god and goddesses of our lives in disorder and chaos or are we showing up engaged and wholly (holy) present with our spiritual helpers. Join me in this exploration of the Goddess and Gods and how they might become more vivid, and more fully present. Knowing the shadow work in our psyches can always use some new light.
In our pre-patriarchal times, the earth as Mother was seen as the primary source of fertility but as our cultures have risen this modern time, the emphasis has shifted from the feminine as the source of fertility to the masculine. The ancient myths have used Biology, at least on the physical plane to be recognized as the union of the males and females, however on the cultural plane and the creation of civilization and technology, the mastery of the natural world, needs to employ both the Goddess and the Gods in recreating the mastery of our natural world. The primary expression for many peoples of the life-force, the libido, of the cosmos must be addressed with a new compassion of the life giving nurturing of ourselves as well as the mastery of our psyche. Allowing us to become the noble beings and create the new Earth.
This will be an empowering, delicious reference guide for modern day people working with gods and goddesses from many traditions in our daily lives. We will spend a year investigating the known strengths and weaknesses of the Gods and living our lives with assistance from the Gods. Perhaps you remember some of these from your past…Diana, Isis, Hathor, Ra, Osiris, Quetzacoaztl, Tzcatlipoca, Ceridiwen as well as others. Traditional ceremonies, messages, altars and teachings of the Gods will be employed to create an ongoing connection with our creators.

Fall Newsletter

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
