Shamanic Drumming Circle at the Onion
Description
Meeting dates
Description
"Over tens of thousands of years, our ancient ancestors all over the
world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit for
healing and problem-solving.
The remarkable system of methods they developed is today known as "shamanism
,"....distinguished by the use of journeys to hidden worlds otherwise
mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death experiences. Most commonly,
they do this by entering an altered state of consciousness using monotonous
percussion sound."
Michael Harner Ph.D.
Shamanic drumming is a form of meditation. The circle will generally
follow the principles taught by anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner in his
book The Way of the Shaman (see also www.shamanicstudies.org for information).
As this group will be doing actual journey work each meeting, it may not
be appropriate for absolute beginners.
Hosted by Richard and Jennifer Dier as part of the Sepulveda Unitarian-Unitarian
Society's adult program. Please contact host (Richard or Jennifer Dier)
prior to attending your first meeting so that you know what to expect and what to bring. This is primarily a shared
meditation experience, rather than a drop-in drumming session. Richard
