About this trip

MYTHIC DRUMMING

The  drum, and the frame drum in particular, is one of the most widespread  and pervasive archetypes and spiritual technologies found the world  over. It is seen in some form in almost every culture and predates  written history. The drum crosses over all cultures, time frames and  lands. Sacred Drumming is a worldwide ancient/modern cross cultural  phenomenon. Every culture creates a drum!


It  was only quite recently discovered that the drum was played  predominately by women, in ancient times. Hundreds of images depicting a  women holding or playing a frame drum have been found in the form of  statuary, relief, vase painting, hieroglyph and votive offerings. The  artifacts showing women drummers have been unearthed from archeological  digs and have been discovered hiding in plain sight in countless museums  and private collections throughout the world.


Now imagine your self in a supportive circle of women learning to play the frame drum. Tune into your natural rhythm, the rhythm of the group and  of the rhythms of the vibrant southwest desert landscape. Join us at the fabled Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch in the Land of Enchantment ~ New Mexico.
