~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~CELEBRATION of SUMMER~
We gather in an intimate circle around the Mother Drum 3 days before the Capricorn Full Moon on the Lunar Lammas- First Fruits.
We celebrate the fullness of summer and all she gives to us.
We plant bee balm and milkweed to attract the bees and butterflies and all the abundance that our winged ones bring to us.
We are the Earth Drummers and Mother Earth has taught us well. We ride the waves of rapid change and know that all we need is within our reach. We hug, we hope and we dream of a peace filled world. 
And so it is.  ~ Excerpts from We’Moon
Come and drum and chant with the Mother Drum and all of your sisters and brothers as we find solace and support during these times.
We will drum and chant in the sacred four directions of the Medicine Wheel.
Native American traditions teach us that each of the four directions carry certain elements, qualities and totems …
EAST- AIR-MENTAL- WINGED ONES  
SOUTH- FIRE-PASSION,- SNAKE & LIZARD
WEST- WATER-EMOTION – FRESH & SALT WATER BEINGS
NORTH -EARTH-PHYSICAL  BODY- FOUR LEGGEDS
We will also, send prayers to the four corners of the Earth for Global Healing and healing For All Our Relations.
Please bring all kinds of drums and rhythm instruments and join your tribe as we celebrate the sacred circle of life.

 

And the MOTHER DRUM will help keep the One or the Heartbeat throughout our journey.  
Some of you will have the chance to play the Mother Drum if you so choose.
The Mother drum is like a large pow- wow drum and is used as a healing drum for the community.
This sacred ceremony teaches us the power of deep listening and helps take us deeper into community to find our commonUNITY… as we heal ourselves and our Mother Earth … For All Our Relations-A-Ho!
This is a rare opportunity to be in a small, intimate sacred circle with the Mother Drum at the Art of Healing Center.  Hope you can join us.
Any questions or if you need a drum or rhythm instrument… please email Laney at:  womenonair@aol.com

Daughters of the Earth~ Women’s & Maidens Gathering~June 24-26

http://science-all.com/phoenix.html
 ~DAUGHTERS OF THE EARTH~
*WOMEN & MAIDENS TRIBAL GATHERING
JUNE 24-26, 2016
EARTHLANDS RETREAT, 39 GLASHEEN ROAD, PETERSHAM, MA 01366
*THANKS TO MY BROTHERS THAT PASS THIS INVITATION ON TO THE WOMEN IN THEIR LIVES.
I am so thankful to be invited back to be a guardian for this year’s Daughter’s of the Earth with ALisa Starkweather and our sisters. 
  I am blessed to be one of the original guardians and vision keepers from the beginning of DOE.
  Looking forward to seeing my sisters there. 
Love and Rhythms, Laney
REGISTER NOW!
It is time for the women to gather on the land for council, celebration and pure fortitude for the times we live in. There are many beloved teachers, artists, drummers and ceremonialists joining us. Primarily the gathering takes place on the earth, and oh how her beauty awaits to lovingly enfold us! This is not billed as a festival but rather a gathering of women in their leadership holding a vision that we are part of the answer in our world. We use this time to dive deep, to replenish, to connect, to council, to be with the elders and young women, to create a diverse container of women leaders who are greater from the support we give to each other. Join us if you are called.
_____________________
At DOE we have workshops and open times for us to meet in our temples for council and interaction. We are drumming, laughing, sharing wisdom, dancing, being in ceremony and uplifted. Over thirty teachers and guides attend who inspire, assist and share their wisdom and bright spirits. Your wisdom is welcome here too because we find many powerful women and teachers and healers are attracted to this gathering. We find amazing company here among us all.

We come to take our place on the earth, co-creating, co-conspiring, releasing our pre-conceived expectations to find ourselves alive and awake to what the sacred moment brings us.

Here are some of our 2016 Guardians: http://new.alisastarkweather.com/events/daughters-of-the-earth/teacher-bios/

And don’t forget to join the conversation  and RSVP on our FB event’s page for June 24th.

Deeper Roots~ Feeding Our Ancestors~ April 9th, 2016

deeper roots b&w

Deeper Roots – Feeding our Ancestors

Saturday April 9, from 10 am till 10 pm

At Earthlands, Petersham MA

Facilitated by Katja Esser and Laney Goodman

~Scent Free Space/Alcohol Drug Free ~

Cost: $75~ Day long ceremony

We are approaching the time of year when the earth begins to awaken and readies for her birth. Not all her children will have made it through the winter and their bodies turn to the gift of compost that feeds the new life. So do we have a connection to our lineage of our beloved dead who’s stories and choices have shaped our lives and have become the fertile soil for our birth.

Are you someone who knows little about your ancestors and would like to find a way to deepen your connection with them? Are you someone who struggles with what you know about your ancestors because it was difficult and full of hardship? Do you feel that you do not really know how to relate to them and feel alienated from that part of your heritage? Are you looking to come into peace with them and begin to appreciate them for who they were and forgive? Do you want to keep their stories alive? Are you missing your beloved ancestors and are looking for a way to honor and celebrate your relationship with them in a meaningful and heartfelt way? Or are you ready to bring them in as allies guiding you through life?

We come together in a daylong ceremony/workshop in remembrance of our ancestors and deepen our relationship with them. With our ancestors we move collectively through a deep process of story, transformational healing work, shrine building, various feeding of the ancestors rituals, and end with a sacred fire. It is a dive into container of the ancestors where we get touched by the beauty that unfolds as we express what lives in our heart through our creativity, prayers, and journeys. How we move forward has a lot to do with how we complete our endings.

This is a very powerful day in which the presence of the ancestors is palpable. Katja Esser and Laney Goodman, each gifted ceremonialists, come together to facilitate you through this process of feeding the ancestors and healing our relationships with them. Expect to come away with a deeper connection as the ancestors are eager to assist us and reach out to us.

Cost for the day $75

Overnight possibilities for $35 a night lodge, $15 a night tenting

We will each bring a potluck dish to cover our meals.

More information follows as to what to bring and prepare for as it is somewhat involved.

You can contact Katja at katjacreates@ritualexpressions.com

Or Laney at womanonair@aol.com

Please use this PayPal link to hold your space as it is limited to 20 participants.  Thank you.

THE MAGIC MONTAGUE CASTLE in Montague, MA
~ Directions will be given to you when you register~

Winter Solstice is on December 21st, 2015 and we celebrate the longest night of the year as the wheel turns and heads toward the Light. During this time of increasing darkness that surrounds our world, it is time to gather in the Light and set intentions and prayers to hold the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We are blind except for the Light that shines from our hearts… searchlights desperately seeking to meet in trust and intimacy.

May we continue to see the Way. May our stories be told. May our songs be heard.

May the tales of war be buried and transformed into stories of wishes come true.
May the seeds grow, may the rains fall, may we rest long enough.

May this struggle turn into the story of the beautiful journey we share with our children.
Once more the balance tips…the scales of the year veer toward the light and we pray in that illumination…for Peace.”
By Patrice Haan

Thank you!

It is taught that we each have our own unique song and all of our voices are needed for this great healing to manifest here on Earth.
The Mother Earth is raising her vibration in every second of every day. We are being asked to raise our own frequency so we can meet the resonance that is needed to usher in and open the doorway to the next 5,000 years of co creating Heaven on Earth.

Each one of us is needed to make this so.

Chanting and singing…all comes from the heart…when you sing together it brings a healing. We feel and listen from the heart…not the mind.
To experience Divinity in a song is to know the Beloved or Creator. We will find the silence in between each note and know that we are in Union with the One.

Join your sisters in the sacred chant circle where we will find our voices as we blend and harmonize as we bring forth our authentic voice in song, chant, sounding and toning.
We will tone, sound and learn new chants and songs as we sing together and learn how to listen to your own voice as we blend in with the circle of voices and experience the One.

All levels of ability will be welcomed and beginners are encouraged.
