"Developing and deepening our relationship with our Ancestors is such important work and among other things it is our opportunity to reconcile all parts of ourselves, to heal our familial patterns, to embrace our own gifts and to celebrate who we are."

An In-Person Community Drum Circle Event
Amplifying Our Prayers/Intentions
January 19th, 2023 7pm-9pm
Port Robinson Community Centre
Hello Everyone;
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum Circle will be on Thursday, January 19th, at 7:00 pm, at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson (Thorold)). With the Intention of "Amplifying Our Intentions"
As we tune into and flow with the rhythms of Nature, we remember that we are not separate from each other or the land, that we are in fact, in sacred partnership with all that exists. That we are an intrinsic part of creation and together we are weaving the web of life. And therefore, what we do, think and say matters.
What a wonderful opportunity to gather together in sacred community, during this time just before the New Moon and drum up the energies to amplify our prayers/intentions.
Please bring;
- a donation of 10$ (Generosity Policy applies ~ pay what you can)
- your drums and/or noise makers (please let me know if you would like to borrow a drum).
-water to drink.
No Previous experience is necessary.

Nelson Mandala’s Prayer for Reconciliation
Let us take care of the children
For they have a long way to go.
Let us take care of the elders
For they have come a long way.
Let us take care of those in between
For they are doing the work.
"You come to us from another world;
From beyond the stars and void of space
Transcendent, pure – of unimaginable beauty.
Bringing with You the essence of Love.
You transform all who are touched by You –
Mundane concerns, troubles and sorrows dissolve in Your presence
Bringing joy to ruler & ruled, to peasants and kings.
You bewilder us with Your grace;
All evil is transformed into goodness.
You are the Master Alchemist!
You light the fire of Love in Earth & Sky,
In Heart & Soul of Every Being.
Through Your loving, existence & non-existence merge –
All opposites unite –
All that is profane becomes sacred again."
Rumi ~ The Alchemy of Love

Celebrating Winter Solstice/Yule
December 22nd, 2022 7pm-9pm
Port Robinson Community Centre
Hello Everyone;
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum Circle will be on Thursday, Dec 22nd, at 7:00 pm, at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson (Thorold)). With the very special intention of celebrating Winter Solstice.
I believe that the flow of Life is continuously guiding us into right balance with the powerful forces of nature. That as we move into alignment with the rhythms of Mother Earth and embrace the changing seasons of life, we also tap into the divine wisdom and power of creation. Among other things, Winter Solstice/Yule is a time of Renewal, Rejuvenation and Rebirth. It is a powerful time of harmonizing our energy and assessing our life's path and purpose, a time to acknowledge and release old patterns to make room for new growth.
What a wonderful opportunity to drum up this good and healing energy in celebration of the growing light, with all of you.
Please bring;
- a donation of 10$ (Generosity Policy applies ~ pay what you can)
- your drums and/or noise makers (please let me know if you would like to borrow a drum).
-water to drink.
No Previous experience is necessary.

"Opening to the Unknown"
November 24th, 2022 7pm-9pm

Hello Everyone;
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum circle will be Thurs, Nov 24th, 2022 at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson (Thorold)). With the very special intention of "Opening to the Unknown".
For some time now I have been receiving the message about the importance of being open to (and holding a vision/prayer/sacred intention for) what is possible versus what is probable or likely to happen based on past events and/or the current trajectories, and/or logical outcomes etc. And as we move into the dark half of the Wheel of the Year, we are once again, are given the opportunity to release and free ourselves of all that we've known and to lean into the unbounded possibility of the unknown.
And in the spirit of welcome and belonging you are invited to join us as we drum up the energy in celebration of all that we are!
Please bring;
- a donation of 10$ (Generosity Policy applies ~ pay what you can)
- your drums and/or noise makers (please let me know if you would like to borrow a drum).
-water to drink.

Exploring the Intention of;
"Setting Sacred Intention"
Oct 27th, 2022 7pm-9pm
Port Robinson Community Centre
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum Circle will be on Oct 27th at 7:00pm at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson (Thorold)) with the intention of Setting Sacred Intention.
I recently read that the cross cultural definition for the word “prayer” is to Set Sacred Intention. In todays world of instant information, it is certainly tempting to focus our thoughts and energy on what we feel is not working in the world. To me, Setting Sacred Intention is about choosing to focus on what it is we want to create and amplify in life. It’s about opening to the creative and abundant energies of unbounded and unthought of possibility. It's about giving one hundred precent of ourselves to the great gift of life. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in the energies of the New Moon, in sacred community and drum up the energy of all that we are.
Please bring;
- a donation of 10$ (Generosity Policy applies ~ pay what you can)
- your drums and/or noise makers (please let me know if you would like to borrow a drum).

"Thank you to everyone who came out in person and in spirit to lasts nights very meaning-full and healing ceremony..
I am still feeling the Ancestors and cannot stop singing the song that came through which turns out to be a Sufi version of a Catholic Hymn called "All I want from you is forever to remember me loving you". Which is such a power-full message and feels quite appropriate as we were calling on the Sufi poet Rumi for guidance. "All I ask of you is forever to remember me loving you" such a power-full sacred intention.
And here is a clip of me singing the song.
Blessings and Love and happy Samhain to all.
Note: I think the song was written by someone named Gregory Norbet"

What Participants are Saying:
"This year long experience has enhanced my life in astounding ways this past year. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and soul, to our leaders, Brenda & Lori, for creating such an amazing program. The entire program was professional, intriguing and personal." ~ Jude Steeves re A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I think that this has taught me to believe that every tree and animal and water and earth have a story that is worthy to be heard and shared. That every encounter with nature is meant to stir up and nourish my soul and meant to be honoured." Anita "Sparklinglight Weaver Woman" re. A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program
"Thank you so much, Lori and Brenda, for the magnificent leadership, the dedication and the hours of work and for the open hearted sincerity. The beauty of your souls, which has shined through it all and that I have experienced from you both on this Journey Around the Celtic Wheel, has been so meaningful. I hope that the many blessings that you’ve given me and each of us in this circle will continue to grow and flow in the years to come." ~ Eliza S re. A Year Long Journey around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Our time together and the teachings remind me of the deep connection we have to all of these things, that we are all of one breath and spark across time and space. I was brought here to JAtCW to be reminded, to remember, to understand that some of us who walk the Earth at this time are here as messengers and guides, teachers and healers; we embody Service - if we allow it." Tracy Kennedy "Fibi of the Dancing Light" re A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I light candles, send much love and Healing, drum and connect with nature. I am finally living My Path in Life. That of a Healer and a Guide for All that have loved and Lost.I I have never felt so Much Peace and Love Ever in My Life. This is All Thanks to All of You Who I Love Very much! Especially Lori and Brenda who have connected us in a way that I'm sure none of us could ever imagine. How Grateful I am! I have found my way home to a Loving Clan and I am so Proud,Grateful to belong to Our Clan! Life may be uncertain and scary right now but it is so Beautiful!!!" Michelle "She Who Cries Into the Wind" re. A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"As the Celtic Wheel journey reminds me of the cycle of seasons, I thoroughly enjoy the chance to share it with others. At this time of upcoming Lughnassadh I take time to enjoy the beauty of my garden, seeing the bounty of the Goddess and my contributing hard work. Now I rest in preparation for the work of the harvest. And I recognize that I will also harvest the bounty of the seeds I have sown in myself through meditation, intention, and our circles." Denise Foglein re. A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Deep gratitude for the Tree-mend-ous effort you (Brenda and Lori) put into this program. I believe this was a service to humanity, in a time of confinement as a pandemic strategy. Service to Mother Earth, service to the Cosmos and to the Great Spirit. Any and all that we could and can do to keep the live juices flowing, to be creative, to sing and laugh, or cry and commiserate. And you facilitated so much for us, for it. With love flowing on into the next yearly cycle,
Your Soul Brother, David ~ re A Year Long Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.

Hello Everyone;
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum circle will be Thurs, July 21st, 2022 at 7:00 pm at the Ridgeway Battlefield Park (on the North side of Hwy 3 just East Ridge Rd N, Ridgeway (Fort Erie)). With the very special intention of "Awakening the Sacred".
A while back I heard the word “Spirituality” defined as “A Search for the Sacred.” So to me “Awakening the Sacred” could also be “Awakening our Spirituality” or “Awakening our most Divine expression.” Who are we when we are at our best? Who are we when we are truly expressing and being our Divine selves? What is Sacred to us? More than ever before the world needs our gifts and medicine and to me every moment is sacred and precious and an opportunity to uplift and bless everything we encounter and everyone we meet, with our medicine.
Please bring something to sit on, your drums and/or noise makers if you have them (we always have extra to share if needed), something to drink and a suggested donation of $10.

With:
Lorriiii Dragon Dream & Breny Mason
"I have gotten to experience the workings of Loriii! I have attended a Celtic retreat and my first Moving Mandala just this fall in New Brunswick. May I stress the word first as in my heart I believe there will be more I attend. On that note Lori has a soft and gentle nature while teaching. She also carries the structure and discipline to keep on course. The gifts with in Myself that I came home with after attending both events I personally can not find the words to quite explain. The changes are subtle but far reaching. Every time I release a piece of baggage it makes me very proud to know I release it for my ancestors also. I came home and looked into my sons eyes and thought and felt how I am releasing these things so my son doesn’t have to play this part out. The work done at these shops will last longer than your physical body. I highly recommend attending any workshop being facilitated by Lori or her brothers and sisters. They are well trained in what they are doing on their paths." ~ Blessings Brittany Frost, Westport N,S
"I have participated in Moving Mandalas as well as attending a pilgrimage (to Ireland) with Lori. I found I was provided a space where I was able to dive deep and see myself in new ways. Both experiences allowed me to explore my truth and step into a new part of who I am. They were a very important part of my Journey." K B
"yes indeed!! words do not give justice to all that we have experienced together this weekend!! BIG thank you all for being you.. yeay to mandala sisterhood!!! and yes are you ready??! hey yayayayayaya wowowowowo..." ~ Mirain A
"Every time I can drum, participated in a Moving Mandala and/or fire walk, I do. I become a stronger, more spiritual and positive person. At peace with the world and more importantly at peace with myself.
Thank you Lori for showing me the way.
Love Forever,"
Marcy Shining Light, Dragon Woman

For anyone interested, out next Spirit Drum Circle will be Thursday June 9th from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm at the Ridgeway Battlefield Park (on the North side of Hwy 3 just East Ridge Rd N, Ridgeway (Fort Erie)). With the very special intention of "Exploring Trust".
Having Trust does not necessarily mean we have to agree with everyone, or that we are free to give away or to deny our responsibilities; to discern, to make choices, to know ourselves and/or to know our biases, to heal our Personal/Ancestral/Cultural wounds and/or to do our work.
Yet in the extreme absence of Trust, we often build the energy of fragmentation, disconnection, conflict and even war. We can become defensive, fearful, controlling and reclusive.
And when we are in balanced Trust, we open our hearts and minds to all that supports us. We open our hearts to the mystery of the unknown, we become better listeners and build the energy of connection. We build the energy of empathy and compassion. In trust, we open our hearts to the dynamic flow of giving and receiving, in service to ourselves, to each other, to Mother Earth and to All of life.
What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred community to explore and share and to drum in celebration of all that we are.
Please bring something to sit on, your drums and/or noise makers if you have them (we always have extra to share if needed), something to drink and a suggested donation of $10.
As always, generosity policy applies ~ pay what you can.
No Previous experience is necessary.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
In Sisterhood and Love,
Lorriiii

"Bridging the Seen & Unseen Worlds"
A Four Day In-Person Shamanic Training Offering
With Nancy "Dancing Light"
Lorriiii Dragon Dream and Brenda Marita "Spirit Whispers"
"I have gotten to experience the workings of Loriii! I have attended a Celtic retreat and my first Moving Mandala just this fall in New Brunswick. May I stress the word first as in my heart I believe there will be more I attend. On that note Lori has a soft and gentle nature while teaching. She also carries the structure and discipline to keep on course. The gifts with in Myself that I came home with after attending both events I personally can not find the words to quite explain. The changes are subtle but far reaching. Every time I release a piece of baggage it makes me very proud to know I release it for my ancestors also. I came home and looked into my sons eyes and thought and felt how I am releasing these things so my son doesn’t have to play this part out. The work done at these shops will last longer than your physical body. I highly recommend attending any workshop being facilitated by Lori or her brothers and sisters. They are well trained in what they are doing on their paths." ~ Blessings Brittany Frost, Westport N,S
"I have participated in Moving Mandalas as well as attending a pilgrimage (to Ireland) with Lori. I found I was provided a space where I was able to dive deep and see myself in new ways. Both experiences allowed me to explore my truth and step into a new part of who I am. They were a very important part of my Journey." K B
"yes indeed!! words do not give justice to all that we have experienced together this weekend!! BIG thank you all for being you.. yeay to mandala sisterhood!!! and yes are you ready??! hey yayayayayaya wowowowowo..." ~ Mirain A
"Every time I can drum, participated in a Moving Mandala and/or fire walk, I do. I become a stronger, more spiritual and positive person. At peace with the world and more importantly at peace with myself.
Thank you Lori for showing me the way.
Love Forever,"
Marcy Shining Light, Dragon Woman

A JOURNEY AROUND THE CELTIC WHEEL
An Initiation into the deep rhythms of Mother Earth
with Lorriiii Dragon Dream & Brenda Marita Spirit Whispers
2020 - 2021
"This year long experience has enhanced my life in astounding ways this past year. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and soul, to our leaders, Brenda & Lori, for creating such an amazing program. The entire program was professional, intriguing and personal." ~ Jude Steeves re 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I think that this has taught me to believe that every tree and animal and water and earth have a story that is worthy to be heard and shared. That every encounter with nature is meant to stir up and nourish my soul and meant to be honoured." Anita "Sparklinglight Weaver Woman" re. 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program
"Thank you so much, Lori and Brenda, for the magnificent leadership, the dedication and the hours of work and for the open hearted sincerity. The beauty of your souls, which has shined through it all and that I have experienced from you both on this Journey Around the Celtic Wheel, has been so meaningful. I hope that the many blessings that you’ve given me and each of us in this circle will continue to grow and flow in the years to come." ~ Eliza S re. 2021 Journey around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Our time together and the teachings remind me of the deep connection we have to all of these things, that we are all of one breath and spark across time and space. I was brought here to JAtCW to be reminded, to remember, to understand that some of us who walk the Earth at this time are here as messengers and guides, teachers and healers; we embody Service - if we allow it." Tracy Kennedy "Fibi of the Dancing Light" re 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I light candles, send much love and Healing, drum and connect with nature. I am finally living My Path in Life. That of a Healer and a Guide for All that have loved and Lost.I I have never felt so Much Peace and Love Ever in My Life. This is All Thanks to All of You Who I Love Very much! Especially Lori and Brenda who have connected us in a way that I'm sure none of us could ever imagine. How Grateful I am! I have found my way home to a Loving Clan and I am so Proud,Grateful to belong to Our Clan! Life may be uncertain and scary right now but it is so Beautiful!!!" Michelle "She Who Cries Into the Wind" re. 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"As the Celtic Wheel journey reminds me of the cycle of seasons, I thoroughly enjoy the chance to share it with others. At this time of upcoming Lughnassadh I take time to enjoy the beauty of my garden, seeing the bounty of the Goddess and my contributing hard work. Now I rest in preparation for the work of the harvest. And I recognize that I will also harvest the bounty of the seeds I have sown in myself through meditation, intention, and our circles." Denise Foglein re. 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Deep gratitude for the Tree-mend-ous effort you (Brenda and Lori) put into this program. I believe this was a service to humanity, in a time of confinement as a pandemic strategy. Service to Mother Earth, service to the Cosmos and to the Great Spirit. Any and all that we could and can do to keep the live juices flowing, to be creative, to sing and laugh, or cry and commiserate. And you facilitated so much for us, for it. With love flowing on into the next yearly cycle,

A JOURNEY AROUND THE CELTIC WHEEL
An Initiation into the deep rhythms of Mother Earth
with Lorriiii Dragon Dream & Brenda Marita Spirit Whispers
Join Lorriiii Dragon Dream and Brenda Marita Spirit Whispers they tap into the ancient wisdom and knowing of the Ancestors and step further into alignment with the deep rhythms of Mother Earth.
During this Year long experiential Celtic Shamanism Training, we will explore the 8 Festivals of the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Through sacred ceremony and working closely with the Spirits of Place, Elementals and Faeries our intention is to harmonize our energies with the powerful energies of the seasons and the elements, to explore where we are in relation to the cycles of Nature and the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars. To discover the ancient knowledge of the Ancestors and in turn establish a deeper connection with ourselves, each other and all of life.
Whether you have Celtic Ancestors or past lives in Celtic Lands, this training may be for you.
Beginning our opening ceremony on Dec 20th/2020 (on line) at the Sacred time of Yule (Winter Solstice), then gathering online Eight more times to explore and celebrate each of the 8 Celtic Festivals throughout the year with activities and suggestions shared in the time in between the festivals and we will be creating a private FB Group for participants all to deepen our experience and move even further into rhythm with the energies of Mother Earth.
By dancing, drumming, storytelling, creative expression, sacred ceremony and singing we seek to activate our Dragon Eyes so as to see through the illusion of separation. To see clearly in both, the Physical World ~ with all that can be touched and felt with our hands and feet and the Mysterious Worlds of intuition and instinct ~ with all that can be sensed and felt within our heart & soul. To remember that we are Nature and as we heal, we also heal Nature and All our Clans.

Goddess Circle
with Ali Rabjohns & Lorriiii Dragon Dream
Honouring the Goddess Lilith
Join Lorriiii Dragon Dream and Ali for a deeper process of journeying and sharing. The Goddess Lilith is courageous, liberated and playful.
Lorriiii Dragon Dream (Lori Anne from Canada ) and Ali Rabjohns are honoured to be able to offer this special Goddess circle. Here we will be working with the mythic. This is a sacred place of wonder and reflection, where we can trust our higher selves and look at our personal stories with the help of the Goddess Lilith.

She can be the rainbow serpent, the dragon woman who speaks her truth, whether we want to hear it or not. She is the messenger of Pachamama, Mother Earth and her body are the dragon or ley lines that energise her. As she moves, the earth shakes to literally wake up those who are still asleep!.
Lilith has returned after being banished from the Garden of eden to awaken our collective consciousness - in both men and women as the rising serpentine kundalini ( life force ) of the earth. Lilith can herald the rise of the feminine .
From 'Sacred union - Awakening to the Consciousness of Eden' by Tanishka

Travellers Joy Presents an online Shamanic healing event

"Honouring the Ancestors”
Held within the nourishing energies of Grandmother Moon in all of her fullness and at this power-full time of Samhain, when the veils are at their thinnest, you are invited to join us as we gather for this shamanic healing event.
With our current world situation of uncertainty, isolation and social distancing and with our growing inability to freely move and gather in person with our spiritual communities, to freely touch and/or hug our friends and family, and/or to freely travel internationally or between provinces, many of our Ancestral wounds around, exile, displacement and separation have been stirred up.
And as we heal our Ancestral Wounds we not only heal ourselves and release Ancestral burdens from the generations to come, we also remove blocks that keeps us from fully feeling our connections and all that supports us.
And at this time in history it is more important than ever that we deepen our relationship with the Ancestors, feel our connections with the land and each other and feel all that supports us.
Pre Registration is required for this event.
For more information and/or to register for this event please contact;
Brenda Marita Spirit Whispers at brendamarita@live.com

Celtic Shamanism Training Retreat
A Journey Around the Celtic Wheel ~ An Initiation into the Deeper Rhythms of Mother Earth ~ Belyeas Cove New Brunswick, Oct 9th - 11th, 2020
Join Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood, Lorriiii Dragon Dream and Brenda Marita Spirit Whispers they tap into the ancient wisdom and knowing of the Ancestors and step further into alignment with the deep rhythms of Mother Earth.
During this 3 day experiential Celtic Shamanism Training, we will explore the 8 Festivals of the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Through sacred ceremony and working closely with the Spirits of Place, Elementals and Faeries our intention is to harmonize our energies with the powerful energies of the seasons and the elements, to explore where we are in relation to the cycles of Nature and the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars. To discover the ancient knowledge of the Ancestors and in turn establish a deeper connection with ourselves, each other and all of life.
Whether you have Celtic Ancestors or past lives in Celtic Lands, this training may be for you.
By walking, dancing, storytelling and singing we seek to activate our Dragon Eyes so as to see through the illusion of separation. To see clearly in both, the Physical World ~ with all that can be touched and felt with our hands and feet
and the Mysterious Worlds of intuition and instinct ~ with all that can be sensed and felt within our
heart & soul. To remember that we are Nature and as we heal, we also heal Nature and All our Clans.

Eagles Return ~ An initiation into Embodying Our Creative Life Purpose
Lammas Shamanic Circle
TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2020 AT 8 PM – 10 PM UTC+01,
3pm - 5pm (Ontario, Canada)
4pm - 6pm (Atlantic Canada)
Join our friendly circle to call on the help of Corn Goddess, who helps us to release anything holding us back from an abundant harvest.
Lori Folkins and Ali Rabjohns are honoured to be able to offer a powerful Lammas shamanic circle at this time, all are welcome.
Using the power of the Full Moon in Aquarius, this gathering has the intention of preparing the ground for a deeper inner enquiry and bringing a potent Harvest to fruition this Autumn.
We hope that there will be enough interest to develop a longer online workshop in September, so that we can make the necessary adjustments to face our inner selves. We will journey with the Corn Goddess to ask for guidance with this.
For this circle we are offering the opportunity to work in a sacred way with fire and to feel held in a safe and protective space, whilst we journey together.
To receive the Zoom link, you will need to get a ticket through Eventbrite first.
Ali and Lori have worked together extensively during the Moving Mandala programme, which is a shamanic training that consists of seven powerful shamanic initiations, developed by Nancy Dancing Light for energy practitioners and creatives.
Both practitioners come from different backgrounds. Lori lives in Canada and practices Celtic Shamanism, part of her medicine are the songs she brings. Ali lives in East Sussex and practices creatively, as well as with the Andean Mystical Tradition.
We look forward to meeting you.
Suggested donation between £5 and £10. If you can't donate and would like to attend, or have any further questions, please contact ali: enquiries@alirabjohns.com

Spirit Drumming Celebrating Bealtaine
Join myself and Brenda Marita Mason for a Virtual Spirit Drum Circle via Zoom, 6pm DST (7pm in the Maritimes) April 30th (Bealtaine Eve/May Eve).
Bealtaine, (Bel Taine) meaning ‘bright fire’, is one of the four major Celtic Festivals of the year and is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature.
In the Ancient Celtic Calendar, Bealtaine is a Cross Quarter day, half way between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice and is a sacred time which marks the beginning of Summer.
Traditionally, and in Irish Mythology, great bonfires were lit at sunset on May Eve (Bealtaine Eve, April 30th) and were key to marking this time of purification, revitalization, transition and growth.
In these unprecedented times of social distancing, big change and uncertainty it feels even more vital that we tend to our own inner flame, that we remember our oneness and open to the wisdom of the Ancestors.
And so, the invitation here, is to join us as we drum and sing in celebration of this sacred time, in celebration of life and all that we are.
Whether you light a candle and/or a bonfire (check with your local to municipality to be sure before lighting a bonfire) or simply imagine a flame in your heart you will receive the blessing of our collective and loving intentions.
If you would like to join this zoom event, please do send us a message via FB messenger and/or email Lorriii at afolklor@gmail.com and/or email Brenda Marita at brendamarita@live.com
In Sisterhood and Love,
Lorriiii

Spirit Drumming Celebrating Winter Solstice
For anyone interested, our December Spirit Drum Circle will be on Dec 20th at 7:00pm at Studio Eden (8320 Oakwood Dr, Niagara Falls) with the intention of Celebrating Winter Solstice.
Winter Solstice is a special time of Renewal, Rejuvenation and Rebirth. It is a powerful time of growth, of harmonizing our energy and assessing our life path and purpose, a time to acknowledge and release old patterns. A sacred time to tap into the ancient wisdom and knowing of the Ancestors and to move further into alignment with the rhythms of Mother Earth. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred and intentional community and drum up the energies in celebration of all that we are..
Please bring a 5$ donation, your drums and/or noise makers (we always have extras to share if needed). No previous experience is necessary. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Sacred Song Circle ~ Creating Sacred Space
For anyone interested, Spirit Drumming's first Sacred Song Circle will be Dec 3rd at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson(Thorold)) with the intention of “Creating Sacred Space”.
During a recent meditation I asked my guidance to reveal to me, my purpose and I saw myself singing and my heart opened and I felt so much love and joy. And while co-facilitating a Moving Mandala Shamanic training in England, earlier this month, I received the spirit name "Heart With Many Songs". And it feels like the perfect time to initiate our first Sacred Song Circle.
Sacred Song Circles are an experiential place to explore voice and sound from a shamanic perspective, to raise our vibration and to give ourselves permission to express and create and celebrate who we are. A place to journey through song. And our intention for this first circle is "Creating Sacred Space".
Please bring water to drink and a suggested donation of $10. Generosity policy applies, pay what you can :) No previous experience is necessary just a willingness to share your voice. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Spirit Drumming ~ Returning Home ~ Walking the Spiral Path
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum Circle will be Monday, November 25th at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson(Thorold)) with the very special intention of “Returning Home - Walking the Spiral Path".
Like the steam flowing to the ocean we are forever returning home. Returning home to similar situations and familiar environments. Returning home to repeated opportunities to heal, to process, to transform and to release. Opportunities to learn about ourselves and to see things differently. Opportunities to take responsibility for our habitual patterns and automatic responses. To own our triggers and open to the wisdom being offered by our every experience. What a wonderful opportunity to gather and to drum up the energy in celebration of all that we are.
Please bring your drums and/or noise makers (we always have extras to share if needed), a bottle of water and a suggested donation of $5. Generosity policy applies, pay what you can :) No previous experience is necessary. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Traveller’s Joy Presents
Awaken the Heart Flame A Pilgrimage to Ancient England
October 22 - November 3, 2019
For this incredible journey we have been on; Filled with experience and teachings and joy and challenge. Filled with opportunity to know ourselves better.. To connect more deeply with the land, to connect with the Ancestors and the Elements. To observe our thoughts, responses and reactions to both our inner and outer experience. To pay attention to our interactions, to notice our emotions, and to cultivate our ability to move and flow with the energy of the moment. To cultivate our ability to open and to receive all that is being offered in our experience. To observe and to reflect and to honour our truth and truth of others. To dance with the Archetypes and to notice who we are at our edges. To peel off our layers of unconscious behaviour so that we can connect more deeply to our centre, connect more deeply to each other and to all of life. To open our eyes, to see and to celebrate who is there with us, supporting us, witnessing our evolution and growth. Thank you, Thank you, Thank, you.
I woke up this morning remembering a quote which goes; “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.” ~ Buddha
Which to me, speaks to the infinite and creative flame of unconditional love and unbounded consciousness, that dwells, not only in our hearts but also in the hearts of all things. In the heart of all life.And May we continue to feed our heart flames. To walk with courage and faith. To open to our every experience and to be gentle with our judgements.
And may the spirit of generosity, abundance and gratitude fill us so that we know our worth and easily share our Medicine with the world.
And May the magic of life continue to reveal itself to us, to inspire us and transform us. To awaken within us our greatest possibility.
Blessings and Love to you all!!

Spirit Drumming ~ Celebrating Autumn Equinox
For anyone interested, our next Spirit Drum Circle will be Monday September 23rd at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson(Thorold)) with the very special intention of “Celebrating Autumn Equinox".
Among other things, Autumn Equinox is a special time of equal day and equal night. It is a time of gathering the harvest and acknowledging our growth. It’s a time of taking stock and preparing for our release. We are nature, and I believe that when we consciously attune ourselves to the movement of the seasons we also attune to the power and possibility that lives within all of creation What a wonderful opportunity to gather in the energies of Grandmother Moon in all her fullness and drum up the energy in celebration of all that we are.

Our next Spirit Drum circle will be Thursday July 18th at 7:00 pm at the the Ridgeway Battlefield Park (on the North side of Hwy 3 just East Ridge Rd N, Ridgeway (Fort Erie)). With the very special intention of "Practicing Receptivity".
Practicing receptivity is about opening to endless possibility. It's about leaning in to our experience, letting go of our preconceptions and expectations and allowing an unthought of pathway to open before us.. It's about opening our hearts and trusting that the universe is supporting our evolution and growth. What a wonderful opportunity to share and celebrate all that we are.

One Brave Night in support of Mental Health
7pm May 10th until 7am May 11th/2019
I recently read a statistic that Mental Illness affects 1 in 3 Canadians directly in their lifetime and affects ALL Canadians through family, friends and loved ones.. And from my experience this feels true.
Mental illness has touched my life in many personal ways.. One way, is that someone who was very dear to me, someone who shaped my life considerably was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. This person was, at times, very isolated and when I think about it now, I am deeply touched and saddened by his loneliness.
For people suffering from Mental Illness night time can be the loneliest time of the day. This event is an opportunity for us to declare that we are here! That we are not alone!

April 11, 2019 Spirit Drumming ~ Holding Space
"Holding Space" is a simple yet very profound way to support someone. When we hold space for others we are just present, listening deeply, witnessing their joy, their pain, their experience. When we hold space for ourselves we are honouring who we are, listening to our bodies, feeling our emotions, energizing our experience with our attention.. What a wonderful opportunity to move deeper into the moment and drum up this good and healing energy with all of you.

Traveller’s Joy presents the“Star Jaguar”Pilgrimage to Ancient Mexico. A ten day journey into the heart of the Maya Yucatan with; Shamanic Grandmother Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood, Shamanic Grandfather David Cameron, Lori Folkins ~ “Lorriii Dragon Dream”, Brenda Marita Mason ~ “Spirit Whispers” and Jeff Smyth. You are invited to join us as we journey between the realms of yesterday, today and tomorrow, asking the Ancestors and the Spirits of the Lands to awaken the sacred within us and to reveal to us ancient secrets and universal truths.
Our home-away-from-home for the duration of our journey will be the uniquely inspiring Genesis Eco-Oasis http://www.genesisretreat.com/ located in Ek Balam Village near the Ek Balam pyramid complex, one of the most pristine, and lesser known Mayan archaeological sites.
During these times of great division and change in our world; environmentally, socially, culturally, economically and politically, we are putting out the call to humbly come together in remembrance of our interconnection and belonging. To explore within a safe community of Kindred Travellers, how to respond individually and collectively to change.
Through the ancient art of Pilgrimage we wish to connect with the spirits of the creative people, who mapped the movement of stars and left behind remarkable pyramids, spiritual mysteries, mathematical wonders, extraordinary architecture, unique cuisine, language and much more. And who also faced a similar paradigm-shift which is occurring in our world today. They are also said to have left behind messages and instructions for sustainability hidden away for future generations to find. The shamanic and practical goals of this journey are to access this legacy from the ancestors and from living exemplars.
Through intuition, observation and heart we hope to learn from a land where water is precious and to focus on how village life has sustained the Mayan people to the present day, by participating in a little of their daily life, as well as taking day excursions to cenotes, caves, ancient ruins, museums, and nature reserves in the area. We will learn about plants with local expert, Jim Conrad, animal & bird life on the coast, explore off-the-beaten-path sacred sites, and spirit-track the wisdom of the ages contained in the non-ordinary realities local to Mexico and to our common ancestors, the star-beings (one translation of Ek Balam is Star Jaguar).
This trip may include occasional discomfort, sweat, laughter, spiritual warrior-ship, tenderness, feasting, grief, compassion, creativity, and wild joy. In other words, living fully, through the contributions of Ancient culture, lands and point of view, which will bring us more of what we need to know.
Sacred Sites, Swimming, Colourful Magical Town Visits, Ancient Artifacts, Stone Roads, Ancient Cultures & Mysticism, Connecting with Plants, Beautiful Shorelines & Turquoise waters, Connecting with the Elements, Healing Ceremonies, Drumming, Wild Path Walking, Community Celebration, Optional Sweat Lodge, Dancing, Storytelling, and Singing...and much more, remain possibilities within all of the above.
We only have space for 5 more pilgrims to complete our Circle of 22, including the 5 who form Pentacle of Support & Protection, so if this calls to you please contact us soon > Nancy, David C, Brenda, Lori and Jeff.

January/2019 Spirit Drum Circle ~ Setting Sacred Intention
I recently read that the cross cultural definition for the word “prayer” is to Set Sacred Intention. In todays world of instant information, it is certainly tempting to focus our thoughts and energy on what we feel is not working in the world. To me, Setting Sacred Intention is about choosing to focus on what we want to create and amplify in life. It’s about opening to the creative and abundant energies of unbounded and unthought of possibility. It's about giving one hundred precent of ourselves to the great gift of life. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred community and drum up the energy of all that we are.
|
|
May we all become more aware of where we are in relation to the seasons and the cycles of Nature, to the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars. And in this awareness may we be blessed with a deeper connection to ourselves, to one another and to All of life. Happy Solstice everyone! |
Spirit Drumming Niagara ~ Celebrating Winter Solstice
Thank you to everyone who came out, in person and in spirit, to last nights beautiful circle. Such a powerful circle.. I woke up remembering a quote by Melody Beattie which goes;
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
Feels very true and I am so grateful! Happy Solstice Blessings to you all!!

Spirit Drumming Oakville ~ Winter Solstice ~ With Lorrriii and Meg Moonbeam
The time of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is traditionally a point in ancient astrological calendars of celebration, reflection, going inward and dreamtime. This time is also about embracing the shortest day of the year, which when is done, starts the cycle of the days becoming longer and summer approaching once more. Winter is the season of clearing, shedding and re-birth. You are invited to celebrate with us in community circle! All are welcome and no experience in drumming is necessary. Happy Solstice Everyone
Monthly Spirit Drumming ~ Awakening the Sacred ~ Nov 22nd/2018
I recently heard the word “Spirituality” defined as “A Search for the Sacred.” So to me “Awakening the Sacred” could also be “Awakening our Spirituality” or “Awakening our most Divine expression.” Who are we when we are at our best? Who are we when we are truly expressing and being our Divine selves? What is Sacred to us? The world needs our gifts and medicine and to me every moment is sacred and precious and an opportunity to uplift and bless everything we encounter and everyone we meet, with our medicine. What a wonderful opportunity to gather together in sacred community, on this magical and sacred day 11/22/11, in celebration of all that we are.

Traveller's Joy Community Reunion & Blessing Ceremony, November 9th - 12th 2018
What a wonder-full way to end our magical pilgrimage to New England. To sit in Sacred Circle with kindred travellers, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Teachers & Soul Family. To listen to and share memories, stories, gifts and songs from past pilgrimages, to bless and remember the Ancestors, to bless the waters with our tears and with the waters we carry, to be gifted a beautiful Cloak and Staff and to be honoured and blessed by piers and teachers in such a beautiful way... I am moved beyond words, and filled with gratitude. And a special thanks to my Shamanic Teacher/Mentor and friend Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood. http://www.travellersjoy.ca/
I am profoundly blessed, humbled and honoured to walk this path with you. LOVE Lorriiii

Monthly Spirt Drumming Oct/18 ~ May We All Return
The intention for this circle was about returning home to ourselves, home to our soul, to our hearts, home to wholeness. Home to a place where we are free and inspired to Be and share who we are, to a place of where ever We are We are Home.. About standing in our power and acknowledging that we belong to each other and to the Earth.

A Journey of Connection ~ California 2018
To the nourishing beaches along the beautiful coast, to the wide desert land of Death Valley, to the breath taking Sierra Nevada Mountains, to ancient Oaks, Cedars, Joshua Trees, Pine, Juniper and Giant Redwoods, to winding roads and deep canyons, to the preciousness of water and breath, to the lonely Elk calls, to the sweet moments with cherished love ones, to the clear skies and clear vision ~ Thank you.
Firewalk Niagara 2018 ~ A Return to the Heart
“Each and every Firewalk I have ever attended and/or facilitated has held its’ own unique gifts, wisdom, magic and medicine and this years’ 5th Annual ~ Return to the Heart Firewalk was no exception. It was so much about the power of moving in rhythm with Nature and the Elements. About trusting and letting go of control. About embracing and celebrating change. About becoming aware of our familial patterns and noticing how uncomfortable it can feel when we change our reactions. About acknowledging and working with our fear. About the power of being seen and heard. About the power of being in community, the power of witnessing and celebrating breakthroughs. About igniting and feeding our own creative fires so that we can joyfully express and be who we are. And so much more!” ~ Lorriiii Dragon Dream
Monthly Spirit Drumming “We Are What We Think” August 2018
"Everything we do, every interaction and relationship is affected by our thoughts. Our thoughts create our emotions, which create a physical response in our bodies and in our reality. It’s easy for us to see this when we are watching a movie or reading a book, and find ourselves moved to tears or laughing out loud, or clenching our hands in fear. Being mindful of our thoughts is a powerful way to consciously create our life’s vision/dream. To consciously break harmful family and cultural patterns and to bring our creative life purpose out into the world. What a wonderful opportunity to gather together in sacred community in celebration of all that we are." ~ Lorriiii

What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all that we are and to drum up this good and healing energy with all of you." ~ Lorriiii

Scotland "A Reunion of Souls" ~ 2018
"Just arriving home, a few days ago, from our Reunion of Souls journey to the Ancient Lands of Scotland. Such a meaningful and power-full journey of reconciliation, re-visioning and remembering. Of open hearted sharing and deep listening. Of singing and dancing and drumming in sacred community. Of dismemberment and rebirth, of disconnecting from wifi and reconnecting with ourselves. Of honouring and celebrating the stories of the Ancestors. Of reconnecting to the Spirits the stones and the bones. Of reconnecting with the spirits of the Skies and the Winds. The spirits of the water falls, rivers, lochs and ocean inlets. Of awakening our wild side and befriending our monsters. Of touching the Earth with our hands and our feet and deeply connecting with Mountains and surrendering to the Forest Mystery. Of connecting to the Crystal Spirits, Dragons, Elementals, Faeries, Elves and all the magical creatures of our mythic history. Of sharing our tears and our laughter. Of awakening and honouring the fires of passion within and honouring all those who came before us, all those who sacrificed their lives so that we can joyfully, freely and safely express who we are. And so much more.
Love and gratitude to the 22 brave pilgrims and all who blessed our path along the way. And thank you to all who supported us in spirit. Your support is deeply felt and appreciated. I will never be the same. So excited to share this medicine with all. On behalf of our Traveller’s Joy Team" ~ Lorrriiii http://www.travellersjoy.ca/tours/2018-Scotland.html

Spirit by Lorriii
"It's in the Air, breathing deeply..
It's in the Earth, beneath my feet..
The Rivers rock it gently
as the Birds sing it to sleep..
The Mountain holds it's memory
with a strength that strength implies..
and the Trees whisper it secrets
in words that words disguise.."

Spirit Drumming ~ Walking the Sacred Path ~ February, 2018
"It is true that life is full of challenges and it is also true that life is full of incredible beauty and wonder and magical moments.. To me "Walking the Sacred Path" is about Being here now. It's about Being in touch with my experience. It is about being aware of my own aliveness and the aliveness of everything that I encounter. It is about blessing every moment with my presence. So excited to Drum up this power-full energy with all of you.. " ~ Lorriii

"Happy New Year 💚 to everyone.. In 2018 and beyond... May we become more aware of our bodies.. May we bend with our experience and honour the experience of others.. May the flame of our hearts illuminate our unique gifts and help us to embrace and celebrate our differences. And when we are pushed to our edges may we be touched by our humanity and Fluid with our forgiveness.. Blessing and Love to all.." ~ Lorriiii
"Today I call in the power of patience, knowing that my personal experience is also my human experience and is what connects me to life. Knowing that as I offer patience to myself and others I move more deeply into presence and am better able to create space for connection and growth. Better able to listen, witness and be there for others. Better able to notice what I am feeling and sensing in my body, to notice what wants to flow through me, to notice what wants to be healed within and around me." ~ Lorriiii

Hosted with Meg Moonbeam

"I believe that the flow of Life is continuously guiding us back into right balance with the powerful forces of nature. That as we move further into alignment with the rhythms of Mother Earth and embrace the changing seasons of life, we also tap into the divine wisdom and power of creation. To me Winter Solstice is a magical time of Renewal, Rejuvenation and Rebirth. It is a powerful time of harmonizing our energy and assessing our life's path and purpose, a time to acknowledge and release old patterns to make room for new growth. What a wonderful opportunity to drum up this good and healing energy in celebration of the growing light, with all of you." ~ Lorriiii

"I believe that everything in the universe is reflected within us. That we are Nature. That we are the wind and the trees, we are the oceans and the rivers, we are the stars and the stones. We are the spark within each atom. We are wonder and mystery, stillness and silence. We are the wild landscapes of the earth and we are the power and possibility that lives within all creation. Among other things, to me this is about celebrating and acknowledging all aspects of ourselves in unity and in wholeness. What a wonderful opportunity to drum up this powerful and nourishing energy in celebration of all that we are." ~ Lorriiii

I am Wolf, Fur and Fang, Snout and Paw, Wild and free. I am guardian of the wilderness and Protector of the Pack. I follow my own path of ancient wisdom and instinct into the deep wood.

13 Days in Ireland ~ A Journey Around the Celtic Wheel - May, 2017
A thirteen day journey around the Celtic Wheel with Shamanic Practitioners, Brenda Marita Mason ~ Spirit Whispers and Lori Folkins ~ Dragon Dream Spirit Healer. You are invited to join us as we tap into the ancient wisdom and knowing of the Ancestors and step further into alignment with the rhythms of Mother Earth.

Through sacred ceremony and working closely with the Spirits of Place, Elementals and Faeries, our intention is to harmonize our energies with the powerful energies of the seasons and the elements, to explore where we are in relation to the cycles of Nature and the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars. To discover the ancient knowledge of the Ancestors and in turn establish a deeper connection with ourselves, each other and all of life.

Spirit Drumming ~ 'Empowering Ourselves" - November 2016
"I believe, that there is great power and freedom in responsibility. That when we acknowledge and take responsibility for our feelings and choices, without judgement and blame, we move into greater harmony with the power-full and creative forces of life. When we realize that we are in charge of ourselves, we open to personal evolution, transformational empowerment, healing and growth.. What a wonderful opportunity to drum up this powerful and nourishing energy in celebration of all that we are." ~ Lorriii

"Spirit Drumming “Honouring the Spirits of the West".
Among other things, to me, the Spirits of the West represent the Spirits of the Ancestors, the Spirits of Autumn time and the setting Sun. The spirits of the Waters and the powers of emotion and flow.. They represent the energies of beginnings and endings. The energies of prayer, stillness and deep listening.. It feels so very appropriate that we drew this intention, as I believe, in these times of great transition and transformation so many of us are being called to listen more deeply. To listen more deeply with our hearts, to our own inner voice and the voices of nature. Which I believe, are calling us to live in balance. Calling us to live more fully in balance within ourselves and within the world around us." ~ Lorriiii

"Gratitude and generosity moves beyond cultural and religious boundaries. Everyone can benefit from the many gifts of practicing Gratitude. Through gratitude we acknowledge our gifts and invite in space for unexpected/unnoticed blessings. We open our vision to a broader perspective and are able to see more clearly the immeasurable beauty and abundance that surrounds us always. In Gratitude we become Shape Shifters, shifting the shape of our experience, enabling us to focus more clearly on what is working in our lives.." ~ Lorriii

Spirit Drum/Healing Circle: Gathering & Embracing Our Own Medicine
April, 2015
I believe that we are all born with Unique and Original medicine, which we are meant to embrace and share. That it takes great courage to walk in authenticity, to stand up and be who we truly are. By gathering our medicine we are better able to serve the world, to face the unknowable and befriend the mystery. Better able to do our heart/soul work and to break Ancestral/cultural and personal patterns which block us from giving and receiving love. What a wonderful opportunity be in sacred and intentional community together and to drum up this powerful and healing energy in celebration of all that we are.

"My wildness roars and thunders and shakes with laughter.
My wildness sings out loud and dances to the beat of a secret and sacred drum. My wildness stretches and grows and moves in celebration of it's freedom. My wildness lives deep in the heart of me. Grounded and Awake in the Mystery of my Being.." ~ Lorriii
Full Moon Spirit Drum Healing Circle Dec., 2014
We invite you to gather with us in the beautiful and nourishing energies of Grandmother Moon in celebration of her fullness and the coming of Winter. Winter Solstice is a special time of Renewal, Rejuvenation and Rebirth. It is a powerful time of growth, of harmonizing our energy and assessing our life path and purpose, a time to acknowledge and release old patterns.
Join us as we move into alignment with the rhythms of Mother Earth and embrace the changing seasons of life, tapping into the ancient wisdom and knowing of the Ancestors. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred and intentional community and drum up the energies in celebration of all that we are.
"Last night was profound and I am feeling like words cannot express the depth of my gratitude.. The Rain.. The Fire.. The Winds.. The Earth.. The Spirit... The Faith.. The Truth.. The Community.. The Heart.. The Power... The Fear.. The Courage.. The emotions And the showing up of it all.. My heart is open and I am filled. Thank you Thank You Thank you.. I am hearing a song that goes.. "If love is why I am hear let me give and then receive." ~ Lorriiii
Spirit Drumming "Honoring the Spirits of the South"
"This intention feels so very appropriate, given we are in the season of Summertime and many of us danced with Fire at last weekend's powerful Firewalk ceremony.. For me the Spirits of the South represent the Element of Fire, Summertime and the midday Sun. They represent a productive time of creativity and movement. A time of witnessing the beautiful effects of the Sun's energy on Mother Earth. A youthful time of innocence, play and expansion. What a wonderful opportunity to gather together in sacred community in celebration of Summertime." ~ Lorriiii
"Spirit Drumming “Offering Patience to Ourselves and Others”.
Our personal experience is also our human experience and is what connects us to each other. And so, as we offer patience to ourselves and others we also honour and bless our human experience. In patience we move more deeply into presence and are better able to create space for connection and growth. Better able to listen, witness and be there for others. Better able to notice what we are feeling and sensing in our bodies, to notice what wants to flow through us, to notice what wants to be healed within and around us. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred community and drum up the energy in celebration of all that we are." ~ Lorriiii
"May we remain ever faithful to our own originality, to our own unique gifts and medicine.. May we recognize, embrace and celebrate the pure wild beauty and power of our own Be-ing." Lorriiii
Mother Earth ~ Lorriiii
Do you feel the coolness of my Rivers
taste my waters as I drink you
Do you feel the warmth of my Spirit
hear the wind as I breathe you
Do you feel the rhythm of my Heartbeat
feel my strength as I hold you
Do you know the power of my Medicine
feel my love as I heal you
Spirit Drumming "Embracing Colour"
“To me, this is a perfect intention for this time of year (a time of the retuning light) and drawing it is further proof that we are supported and guided in such good and meaningful ways. It is no coincidence that the magical experience of seeing a rainbow stirs a deep response within us.. That All the colours of the rainbow are held within a single Suns' ray and therefor part of the Suns' gift of power and medicine to us. I believe that the colours of the rainbow are not just magical images in our natural world but also hold deep spiritual meaning, ancient wisdom and healing. To me they represent the full spectrums of life, the richness of every experience and emotion.. Among other things Colour is a wonderful way for us to express our needs, desires and creativity.. What a wonderful opportunity to drum, dance and sing in celebration of all that we are.” ~ Lorriiii

"Just as the seasons change and the trees let go of their leaves, we also change and experience death and impermanence. Without impermanence there would be no Autumn time, no Sunset or Sunrise, no Birth or Growth, no Flowers or Wind, no Fire or Transformation, no Childhood or Creative expression.. And so as we step further into this mysterious time of twilight/Autumn and move towards the time winter, we invite you to join us in acknowledging and honouring impermanence with this Letting Go Ceremony." ~ Lorriii
"Spirit Drumming Trusting our Inner Voice
The inner voice we are referring to here is also known as our Inner Wisdom, Inner Teacher, Inner Resource, Inner Shaman, Intuition etc. It is the one who is aware of our thoughts and is ever guiding us to our greatest possibility. I believe, that we born with unlimited access to an Inner Resource that is always available to us if we choose to connect with it. That as we quiet our minds and move into our bodies we can tune into a that resource/wisdom. To me, when we are listening to our Inner Voice we are connecting to the infinity and mystery of the soul.. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred community and drum up the energy in celebration of all that we are." ~ Lorriiii

"Spirit Drumming Honouring Our Bodies
The body has a natural intelligence, knowledge and wisdom that is constantly speaking to us through our intuition and our senses. It was born with us and is our loyal and sacred companion though out our lives. Our bodies are our first line of defence and since our bodies are made up of the elements when we honour our bodies we also honour Mother Earth and All that is. Among other things, to me this is about embracing and celebrating all aspects of ourselves in unity and in wholeness. What a wonderful opportunity to drum up this powerful and nourishing energy in celebration of all that we are."

“I believe that our spiritual life is always unfolding. That there is no need for striving.. Or trying.. That Every breath.. Every step is an integral part of our sacred journey.. Happy Solstice everyone and many Blessings on your path." ~ Lorriiii

“Today I will walk and feel the wind on my face.. I will notice and remember how blessed I am.. I will give thanks for my family and friends and community.. I will give thanks for my life.. For the Earth and Sky and all that's in between.. I will give thanks for my ability to feel and experience so much.. For the awesome beauty that surrounds me.. All is well..” Lorriiii
Spirit Drumming "Holding Space"
"From my experience "Holding Space" is a simple yet very profound way of supporting someone. When we hold space for others we are just present, listening, witnessing their joy, their pain, their experience. We are not judging or offering advice.. When we hold space for ourselves we are honouring who we are, listening to our bodies, feeling our emotions.. What a wonderful opportunity to move deeper into the moment and drum up this good and healing energy with all of you." ~ Lorriiii
Spirit Drumming "Walking Through our Fears"
"I believe, that as we look more deeply into our fears, we also reveal the places in our lives where there is great opportunity to expand and grow. That as we walk through our fears, we also stand more fully in our own power and move more deeply into the vibrancy of life. To me fear is an opportunity to explore and awaken our courage, a doorway to open and expanding energy and as always it is up to us how we choose to use that energy. What a wonderful opportunity to gather in sacred and intentional community and drum up this powerful and healing energy in celebration of life and all that we are.." ~ Lorriiii
2011 Shamanic Convergence ~ Nova Scotia, Canada
"Impermanence is the basic condition of life.. Without impermanence there would be no wind, no sunsets or sunrises, no springtime or childhood, no Fire, transformation or growth, No birth or Blossoms..and so Today Wishing you all infinite Impermanence."
