Important Notes To Plan Ahead

~ Final Day to order with is TODAY!~
.
The red drum symbolizes the Divine Feminine, the womb, the moon, menstruation, childbirth and the heartbeat of mother earth.
.
The drum was the means our ancestors used to summon the Goddess ~ Layne Redmond
.
All elements of our day together, the opening cacao ceremony & guided drum journey as well as the consecration and creation of your red Elk hide drum dyed using an ancient dying method to create a rich and vibrant color, will be done in a ceremonial process and will become a sacred reflection of the divine feminine within you and your personal intentions.
.
During the process of making your medicine drums we will call in ceremonial elements for consecration of your cedar wood frame; the bones of your drum, and the hide of elk medicine; the voice of your drum, giving thanks for this gift and letting the spirit of the elk know that it is becoming a sacred and spiritual tool.
.
This experience is more than a day of creating a drum.
The drum is simply the physical manifestation of the day we will share.
.
This day is truly about reconnecting to your personal feminine wisdom and personal power, learning the herstory of drumming, reclaiming your birthright and experiencing the power and joy of being circle which is a practice that dates back thousands of years. We will also experience a healing circle and ways to use your drum in your own sacred rituals and your healing practice to channel the spiritual energy that will support your expression as a human being and harness the Goddess within.
.
When women join in circle and drum together we connect to our own feminine rhythms, form healthier collective relationships with our earth sisters and loosen and heal unconscious cultural beliefs. Drumming reconnects us with the sacredness of a woman and assists us in living in greater harmony with the natural world and our own spiritual essence while seeing each other in our sacred divinity.
.
As a Sacred Red Drum Carrier you will claim your commitment to Feminine Unity and Human Consciousness.
The hand is our magic maker – whether with a drum, paintbrush or ritual tool.
Hands bring the sacredness of our creative vision into the visible realm.
.
Women, Our Birthright & the Red Drum.
.
As we grow our Red Drum Tribe we will also gather throughout the year to celebrate our Feminine Divine and attend other drum circles representing the Red Drum Tribe!

This Red Drum. My hands created her, my Spirit infused her, my journey completed the energy of deep love within her.
Her voice is deep and fully present. We will be together for eternity.
Thank you for this amazing gift, Lauri Cox, and for your guidance through this ceremony. I will treasure it forever ~ Angel Shannon
This gorgeous experience is for women only and includes:
your drum & beater kit (bring your own found stick)
cacao opening ceremony & guided drum journey
a gorgeous ritual to consecrate your drum
a Love Infused meal
We will complete our evening with a healing drum circle and fire
The frame is handcrafted from Canadian cedar wood.
The hide is Elk.
The cacao is high quality ceremonial grade which I personally brought back from Guatemala during a sacred journey there. It was purchased from the respected Cacao Shaman, Keith while attending his cacao ceremony. It will be prepared, served and consumed in a ceremonial way.
.
What is Cacao? Cacao, not to be mistaken for highly processed cocoa, is known as the Food Of The Gods and has been used for centuries in Mayan cultures in ceremonial ways. The cacao used in ceremony is the purest form of chocolate you can consume and thought to be the highest source of antioxidants and the highest source of magnesium of all foods giving it’s place as one of Mother Earth’s Super Foods.
It is referred to as a Heart Opening experience, as there is increased blood flow and nutrition to the brain, heart and skin, The whole body is nourished while awareness and focus is heightened and sensations are intensified.
Cacao is not a mind altering substance. Used in ceremony, it offers a safe and beautiful space that supports reflection and connection to your spiritual essence and creates an opportunity to explore the stories of the heart and to identify areas that are causing you restriction, limitation and pain.
We will open up our circle with a ceremonial guided drum journey where you will have the chance to relax deeply and commune with your Higher-self to receive insights, inspiration and creative ideas that can give you a clarity on the next steps of your journey and where you can support your overall life.
Everyone’s experience varies. Many say it gives them a deep sense of joy and peace, a connection to others, their own creative nature and insights of limiting behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are able to be understood and released within the safe environment of the ceremony. Regardless, the experience itself is lovely.
The Cacao consumption is optional for attendees and should not be consumed if using certain medications, have heart conditions or undergoing chemotherapy. You will still indulge in a beautiful overall experience.

History of the Drum
The pulse of life is what ancient women and priestesses understood long before they had words for it. The drum was the means our ancestral sisters used to summon the goddess and their drums were sacred ritual tools used to invoke the archetypal patterns of life, death and rebirth. All of these ancient archetypal women’s themes have been played out over and over again in “herstory” with thin red lines connecting them all, the line of women, menstruation, rattles and red frame drums.
The Journey of the Red Drum
The sacred process of making the red drum has now been passed over to me as a Red Drum Leader to share with the women in my community.
