Make your own
Medicine Drum
Saturday February 25th, 2023
10:00 am to 3:00 pm
at
Sacred Dwelling in Monroe WA
Join us for this special opportunity to create your own Medicine Drum at Sacred Dwelling! We will be sitting in circle together in the yurt nestled in the woods.
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.

Cultivating Wisdom
And Directing Unlimited Creative Energy
A Deep Dive into Svadhisthana (Sacral Chakra)
Date TBA (April 2023)
10:00 am to 4:00 pm
At
Sacred Dwelling
The seat of our identity is said to reside in the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana). Our concepts of
who we are, as a unique expression of the divine, mostly arises from our perceptions of the
interactions we have experienced in our primary relationships. (Parents, caregivers, siblings,
lovers etc) This identity (ego) is who we tell ourselves we are, it is our elevator speech, or the
story we tell a new person we are just getting to know. Often there is deep shadow (negative
self-perception) that is part of this identity. This shadow is often at the root of our own self-
destructive patterns.
The other potent aspect of the sacral chakra is the place holder of unlimited creative energy.
The cave of creativity! It is no surprise that our sexual organs arise from the place of the 2 nd
chakra. The greatest creative thing a human is capable of… making another human! Mastering
and directing this infinite potential is a life transforming skill.
The more we digest our life experiences and glean understanding from those experiences, the
less energy we will need to expend on bolstering limited belief systems. Complete integration
of what we digest transforms into Amrita (Wisdom Nectar). With less wasted energy on
spinning the tales of how we were “wronged”, the greater capacity we will have to harness and
direct the unlimited creative energy residing in the sacral chakra.
During this workshop you will:
Expand your awareness of Svadhisthana Chakra
Explore contemplation exercises to begin digesting your life experiences
Create a piece of artwork representing your Sacral Chakra
Be guided in various yogic practices to assist in the cultivation of your Wisdom Nectar
Yoga Asana
Mantra
Mudra
Meditation
