May 8, 2009

6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Center for Earth Light Healing is very pleased to announce that we will be teaching two drum making workshops this Winter and Spring

Laurel Grady will be leading us in ceremony to bless the materials we work with as well as in guiding us with her years of experience in drum& rattle making.

Laurel has numerous years of shamanic experience as well as a strong background in other spiritual practices and is a very capable, gentle, and loving teacher.We will be making 14" hoop drums from elk hide that has been harvested in a sacred manner and stringing them with elk hide on a maple hoop. The resonance and beauty of these elk-hide drums is unparalleled for this price. We will endtime together with blessing and honoring ceremony with our new drums!

All materials are provided. You only need to bring yourself and your desire to have the experience of making your own drum for whatever sacred work you do, whether it's shamanic journeying, meditation, plant medicine or other forms of healing work.

We will meet in Dory's sacred space in Brunswick, ME and Dory will assist in the workshop. Space is limited to 6 students so please register early.

Total fee including all materials: $150.00

Two-Year Program Testimonial

Dory is a great teacher! She is also a gifted shamanic healer, with plenty of experience to draw upon in her class work. She is that rare combination of gifted and humble that makes her a wise and valuable spiritual guide. She created a safe space in which to do deep spikritual work that is relevant and meaningful. At the same time there was plenty of fun and laughter in her classes. I feel blessed that I was called to study with Dory.

Testimonial: Male Student

This shamanic program with Dory opened my life and my soul. I am no longer able to look at life, to interact with life, without having awareness of the surrounding spirits. I live with a totally new level of peace. There are no words to describe how Dory and this program have changed my life. I will forever be indebted.

Testimonial: Current Student

My experience in my first year of training in Shamanic Healing with Dory has been transformational. In the beginning I thought of shamanism as an activity or pursuit. As the year progressed, shamanism became totally integrated in my every day life. It has helped me to understand, and appreciate, myself and thrive in a challenging world.

Testimonial: Children's Workshop

Thank you so much! Everyone loved the workshop and we are so excited to make a plan to have you back. I truly loved your respectful, confident and kind way of being with the girls. What a gem you are, dear Dory!
