Honoring the Mother
North Star Drum Birthing Retreat
May 12th - 14th
with Tara Seren
with Tara Seren
The drum is a sacred gift from our blessed earth mother, it is a path of personal power and of re-connection.
Our bodies, minds, and souls respond to the beat and vibration of the drum. YOUR drum is calling you! Birth your own ethically sourced animal hide drum and sit in the Circle Way with others called to the central fire (Kenaz). We will sing, we will untangle our pasts and learn to reweave our futures in time with the heartbeat of our cosmic and earthly grandmothers. We sit in a Ceremony Way to learn and connect together through song, story and creativity. This is a time to heal, renew and connect to the umbilical cord of the mother and ourselves.

Time may vary depending on the movement of the group, allowing it to organically unfold. Tara will stay as long as needed until all the drums are fully created. On day three we will activate the healing energy of our drum with the sacred fire ceremony.

If for some reason you are unable to make the event your items will be given to you and you are welcome to attend another event down the road.
Listen to which hide is calling you: goat, deer, elk, cow, buffalo, horse, moose, and bear (which is rare but possible with an added price to your cost), reindeer and red stag are also possible. All ethically sourced in the US and Canada.
