In this 3 hours workshop we will explore the use and power of shamanic drumming, and of channeling sounds, for healing purposes. Drums have been used for 1000s of years by shamans all around the globe to bring protection, to cure and to journey through the power of creating altered states of consciousness. We will explore how we can use journeying, drumming, and singing to bring very valuable information to heal ourselves and others and to channel healing energies into a client’s energy field. We will also explore how we can call upon the 4 directions, the 4 elements, and the Spirits associated with them to bring multiple energetic and spiritual layers into this work.
Angell Deer: FIRE CEREMONY
Grandfather Fire is one of our oldest ancestors. He was here at the creation of the universe, and created this Earth. In most indigenous traditions, Fire is used in ceremony for praying, cleansing, protection and wisdom. In this ceremony we will gather around the fire, learn how to pray with the fire, discover ancient ways to work with the fire and learn from it. Because of its universal origin, we can all experience deep ancestral healing as we connect mindfully and heart fully with the fire. We have come together around the fire since the beginning of humanity, let’s gather again!

“I spent the week in a yoga and meditation retreat. What a beautiful place! High in the Catskills mountains, where you can see the stars at night, and the trees are as high as the sky. The accommodations aren’t luxury, but they were perfect. Everybody is so kind and nice. We got to practice different kinds of yoga, and went to a couple of hikes. I felt happy and relaxed. They also have an amazing spa. How have I never heard of this place before? Now I can not wait to go again!”

“Menla is a truly inspiring place to live and work. I can’t imagine a better environment in the US for me to be of service, help a very meaningful cause, and learn about Tibet, Buddhism, yoga, and the world of health & wellness. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for Robert & Nena Thurman’s vision, not to mention for everyone else who helps make Menla a place I can feel genuinely proud to work for.”
