Join us for this special opportunity to create your own Medicine Drum. 

The creation and birth of a medicine drum is a sacred journey of self-awareness and intention. The medicine drum carries the spirit of the tree the hoop is made from, and the spirit of the animal from which the drumhead and lacing are made from. The tree and animal spirits combine with your spirit journey thus far, your prayers, intentions, the collective ceremonial energy of all gathered for the workshop, and the great creative forces that move through you to birth your drum.

These alchemical elements fuse together to create your medicine drum. During this workshop you will be asked to step into the hoop of sacred ceremony with all who gather, and the elements of nature to be fully present and alive in creative flow as these medicine drums come to life.

It is an honor to be a keeper of the heartbeat of a medicine drum. Over the years of joyful playing in prayer and ceremony, the potency your drum’s unique voice and medicine will grow richer and stronger.

"RISE Sister RISE!"

“Rise Sister Rise!”

A Women’s Day Retreat of Empowerment through Rites of Passage 

with Kylee and Suzanne

Sunday July 13th

10 am to 5 pm ish

 At

Sacred Dwelling

We are calling in our tribe of ‘Womyn’ to gather for a special day of heart medicine! Join us outdoors to tend to our divine feminine heritage and to explore ‘the spiral of becoming’ through ceremony, embodiment, connection, and ritual therapeutics. Magic happens when Womyn get together!


“When the divine feminine is restored to her rightful place, we will have peace on earth.” – Marianne Williamson


We are calling in our tribe of ‘Womyn’ to gather for a special day of heart medicine! We gather to honor, celebrate, and reclaim the divine feminine within through exploring the cycles and rites of passage in a woman’s life.


You are invited to join us outdoors to explore ‘the spiral of becoming’ and to tend to our feminine heritage. This will be an all-day retreat held in nature’s loving embrace at Sacred Dwelling. We will gather in the shaded womb of the marquees stretch tent throughout the day.


Our intention is to create an environment where each Womyn deeply feels supported, honored and empowered, in response to meeting our culture that has not traditionally revered “The Mother”. The power of family systems, global culture, personal identity and relativity, along with individualized life experiences play a BIG role here.


RISE Sister RISE will support us in awakening the Divine Feminine within as we nurture our sacred connection with ‘HER’ in all her diverse manifest forms.  The practices of the day will remind us about consistently tending to the inner relationship with ‘HER’, relationships with our lineages, our progeny, immediate and global communities, as well as all the beings on Mama Gaia.  

Through this work… Vital Life Force increases, and consciousness expands for ALL.  We are here to uplift one another.  RISE Sister RISE!


For our day retreat, we will be co-creating a beautiful honoring and transformational ceremony together. The central altar will be a co-created spiral of flowers accompanied by representation of the five rites of passage in the lifecycle of being a womyn. Our mandala will honor the Divine Feminine and the elements that sustain our life force. The altar will be a portal, a guide, and a meaningful map as we explore The Divine Feminine within ourselves and the group. We, in a collective esoteric sense, will be an expression of ‘The Mother’ coming into being as our journey unfolds!


In our time together, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore and make meaning of the divine feminine
  • Travel the ‘spiral of becoming’ while traversing stages of womyn’s rites and sacred passage
  • Reflect on your personal narratives, historical conditioning, and forward rising development
  • Sing, Laugh, dance, release, expand, contemplate, write, and express
  • Connect deeply with a community of sisters
  • Unify mind, body, soul through meditation, prayer, yoga, ritual therapeutics, and love. ❤️

What’s Included: snacks, refreshments, lunch, sacred sisterhood, A loving Offering infused with skill & wisdom, transformational opportunity, and a big dose of nature.


It’s so amazing when women get together! We are inspired to take this sacred pause and co-create a transformative day together. Please reach out with any questions or curiosities.


In Sisterhood,  

Kylee and Suzanne

Shamanic rattle making workshop

Date and Location: TBA



The rattle is the most potent tool for shamanic journey and healing work.  Its vibration symbolizes life itself, and in traditional cultures is often one of the 1st gifts given to a new baby.  It is said that the rattle mimics the sound of rain which connects the heavens to the earth.  We know and understand the power of water with its nurturing, cohesive, healing and cleansing properties.  Therefore the shamanic rattle channels the energy of water to open the channel between the ethereal and material planes to support positive transformation, healing and new birth.  

The crafting of your own shamanic rattle adds your unique vibration into this healing tool, making this one of your most treasured instruments of transformation.


In this workshop you will be provided with the following:

  • Rawhide for crafting the head of your rattle
  • Artificial Sinew for sewing and wrapping your rattle head.
  • Rawhide hole punch
  • Needles for sewing
  • small stones for the "brains" shakers inside the rattle.
  • Detailed instructions and guidance to craft your rattle
  • Light snacks and tea


What to bring with you:

  • Non breakable water bottle (stay hydrated)
  • A handle of your rattle (approximately 1/2" to 3/4" diameter at one end which will fit into the head of your rattle)  Handles can be made of many types of materials so be creative and choose something that has resonance and feels comfortable in your hand.  If it is a branch from a tree, consider smoothing any rough places with sand paper.
  • Any special "brains" shakers you would like to place inside your rattle.  (Seeds, beads, bells, teeth, stones etc)
  • A Sacred Altar Item (returned to you at the end of the workshop)
  • Any drinks or food you wish to have with you.
  • An open heart and mind.
