Oakville Spirit Drum Circle ~ March 22nd Celebrating Spring Equinox with Lorriiii Folkins & Meg Moonbeam
The time of Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara) is traditionally a point in astrological calendars of celebration, re-birth and cleansing. This is the time when we emerge from the darkness of winter into the fresh and lighter energies of springtime.

Please bring your drums and/or noise makers (we always have extra to share if needed). You are also invited to dress up as your magical self! (whatever that means to you and if you feel to, not a requirement)
In Sisterhood and Love,
Lorriiii and Meg
When: Friday March 22, 2019 from 7-9pm
Cost: $25 Adult ~ $15 Teen/ Child

Traveller’s Joy Presents
Awaken the Heart Flame A Pilgrimage to Ancient England
October 22 - November 3, 2019
Traveller’s Joy presents “Awakening the Heart Flame” a pilgrimage to Magical England from October 22nd until Nov 3rd/2019. A 13 day journey of awakening, rekindling and remembering the creative fires within. You are invited to join, Shamanic Practitioners;“Lorriiii Dragon Dream” Folkins & Meg Moonbeam as well as, founder and creator of Travellers Joy, Contemporary Grandmother Shaman “Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood” http://www.travellersjoy.ca/nancy-sherwood.html, and fellow Shamanic Practitioners; Brenda Marita Mason ~ “Spirit Whispers” ,and Jeff Smyth on this powerful and healing journey of the Heart.
Our intention is to move into right relationship with the mystical hidden realms of spirit and the web of life. To remember that we belong to the Earth and that as we heal ourselves we also heal the Earth. To call ourselves back into wholeness and to welcome home all that we’ve exiled so we can step more fully into our power and bless the world with our magic/medicine.
During this time of Samhain, when the veils between the worlds are at there thinest, we hope to connect with the Ancestors and Spirits of the Sacred Sites, asking for creative suggestions on how we might release all that keeps us from our greatest possibility. To connect deeply with the land of ancient Folklore, Myth and Legend. Of Merlin and Morgana, the Holy Grail (the Cauldron of Plenty), King Arthur & Guinevere, Faeries and Piskies, Dragons and Giants, Knackers, Knights and Elves, so as to awaken our inner sense of wonder and magic. By walking, dancing, storytelling, drumming and singing we seek to better understand our roles for healing our collective Home, Mother Earth.
You are invited to join us as we activate our Dragon Eyes to see beyond our preconceptions and expectations. 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 strengthen our vision so as to make our dreams real in the world.
This trip may include occasional discomfort, sweat, faery laughter, spiritual warrior-ship, tenderness, feasting, grief, compassion, creativity, and wild joy. In other words, living fully, through the contributions of Celtic culture, lands and point of view, which will bring us more of what we need to know.
Serpent Temples and Stone circles, Historical Town walks and Garden Stoles, a Shakespeare Play, the Mysterious Isle of Avalon, Ancient Cairns & Sacred Wells, A White Horse & Dragon Hill, Giants’ table & Faery Mounds, Magical Caves & Faery Forests, Waterfalls & Ancient Ruins, Birthplace and Burial of Kings, Druid Trees & Ancient Underground Labyrinths, Planned & Spontaneous Ritual and Ceremony (Including Samhain and New Moon Drumming), Merry Maidens and a Castle(s) x Three, Faery Guardians, and Mounds, Streams and Beautiful Ocean Landscapes…and much more, remain possibilities within all of the above.
