Monthly Spirit Drumming ~ Awakening the Sacred ~ Nov 22nd/2018
Our next Spirit Drum circle will be Thurs, Nov. 22 (11/22/2018 2+0+1+8= 11 so 11/22/11) at 7:00 pm at the Port Robinson Community Centre (40 Cross St, Port Robinson (Thorold)). With the very special intention of "Awakening the Sacred".
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.
Please bring your drums and/or noise makers (we always have extra to share if needed), a bottle of water and a suggested donation of $5. Generosity policy applies pay what you can :) Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Travellers Joy "Star Jaguar" Yucatan Pilgrimage Feb 04-Feb 14, 2019
We all have heard so much about the Mayan calendar, so why not step into it, with a 10 Day pilgrimage to the Yucatan in Mexico?
Join Nancy Sherwood, Lori Folkins, Jeff Smyth, Brenda Marita Mason and David Cameron as we time-travel between the realms of yesterday, today and the future, in our home-away-from-home, the uniquely inspiring Genesis Eco-Retreat 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.
This trip is relevant to our time: we know there are great changes occurring on the planet, environmentally, socially, culturally, economically and politically; these 10 magical days can let us learn together to help us individually respond to change, within a safe community of travellers. We can learn from a land where water is precious and a similar paradigm-shift occurred hundreds of years ago shattering people's preconceptions and empire, creating "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 living exemplars through intuition, observation and heart.
We will also focus on how how the 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, excellent 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 intention includes an optional sacred sweat-lodge ceremony @ Genesis, offered by our experienced leaders. Enjoying the exotic ambience of Genesis (www.genesisretreat.com) within a traditional village, there will be time for swimming, contemplation, and instruction in the Mayan language and household crafts and skills. There will also be a farm-visit component and free bicycle use for Genesis guests!
Walk with the past, be in the present, for your own sense of our collective destiny. Help co-create a future that inspires us through this opportunity to rise to the challenges of our time, cutting through isolation, joining us with everlasting Truth for soul growth, as well as practical ways to approach living in this century. Come restore, explore and create with Travellers Joy.
Fee schedule: $550 Canadian, (non-refundable) to TJ by bank transfer or paypal by Dec 04. $550 Canadian to TJ by Jan 04. Final payment of $550 Canadian to TJ in pesos on arrival @ Genesis.
Note: Meals @ Genesis will be delicious local vegetarian-but we'll have an amazing carnivore lunch (optional for vegetarians) @ a nearby town famous for smoked meats and a family-prepared traditional Mayan "Pib", or pig-bake, in Ek Balam Village! Please contact us: info@earthsea.ca for approximate expected total costs, itinerary detail
