Drumming For Drumcircles

Pat Cain

Drumcircles come in a wide range of types, purposes, and settings.  In this workshop, we will explore the different kinds, and what sort of drumming fits well with each kind.  For example, in drumming for a ritual, the constraints are tight, and need to match the intentions of those running the ritual.  In contrast, the drumming at a free-form circle with no facilitator has only a few “rules”, but there are still taboos to be avoided.  We will also explore what tends to make for a good drumcircle experience, and what detracts from that.  A few basic drum techniques will be covered (but not in-depth) to ensure we have a common foundation for the workshop.  Bring a drum or percussion instrument if you have one that you’d like to work with, or use one of a handful of extras that we have on hand.  Special Note: this workshop is useful for anyone, regardless of skill level, and you need not even be a drummer to attend!

Pat’s mission is to bring the spirit of Drumming to the people, on the path since the 90’s.  Pat has taught workshops about Drumcircles, basic drumming, Drumming for Ritual, Drumming in Community at Dragonfest, Untamed, Pagan Unity Fest, and Mystic Mabon Southwest.  He also hosts a monthly circle in Fort Collins, and another near the Devil’s Backbone west of Loveland.

 Black Moon Lilith Astrology Lesson

The veil is thin, and Samhain approaches. Under the theme of Sacred Decay, now is the perfect time to explore and embrace your Black Moon Lilith placement. In Astrology, Lilith shines a light on the parts of your chart where you’ve already been burned at the stake, and shows what lurks in your shadow self. Come learn what YOUR Lilith placement says that you need to shed, where to stop self-abandoning, and how to embrace autonomy through a dark feminine awakening. This workshop is for all levels of Astrology knowledge, all genders, and anyone ready to peer into their depths. Please attend with your birth Date/Time/Location or knowledge of your Black Moon Lilith placement (Sign & House). Attendees will leave with printouts and notes for further study.
