Drumming pumps the blood🩸back into our bodies.

Whether we are just waking up in the morning or our aliveness is WAKING UP, restore your pale skin with a new river of rhythm.

Feel your fingers and your heart. Repeat.

I really tried to make this a much shorter message, but it was impossible. I also don’t even feel I conveyed this as authentically as I could. But I gave it my best shot.

If you’ve ever moved through the experience of alchemizing your deepest shame into even higher magic, you’ll understand why 1 billion words could never explain the miracle of this possibility.

We change for the better when we are witnessed in safety and community in our pain.

There is no substitute for this, and yet we are completely starved of this nutrient in our society.

Women, if you are ready for an experience of shadow alchemy through the sacred drum, wild voice, and deep sisterhood, send me a message.

SHADOW & INSANITY
is mine and Hannah Joy intimate 3-day experience welcoming women into the safety and magic of their shadow realms through drum, song, & shadow theater.

WHY IS IT TIME FOR WOMEN TO RETURN TO THE DRUM?

When women drum, we see healthy union of the masculine and feminine in musical form.

When women drum, we are rebirthing a priestess tradition of alchemy & spirit communication from thousands of years ago.

When women drum, we see empowerment in action.

When women drum, we remember times of matriarchal rule.

When women drum, we see the prayer of our ancestors answered.

When women drum, WE REMEMBER WHO WE ARE.

Ready to return to the drum in sisterhood and deep shadow alchemy?

Comment ENLIVEN to get started on your journey home to the drum.

When I am anxious, tormented, excited, in love, joyful, and ALIVE, I play the drum. This is how we show signs of life and commit to our destiny as humans in rhythm with the natural cycles of the Earth.

Let’s start together, friends—it’s time.
