Fire, Drum, & Chant, March 20, Chicago IL
Ringing Anvil presents:
Fire, Drum, & Chant:
A gathering of movement, energy, ritual, rhythm & song
Saturday, March 20, 2010 6pm-9pm
Occult Bookstore 1164 N. Milwaukee Ave.Chicago IL, 60622
Join us for dancing, chanting, and an ecstatic jam and transformational ritual to celebrate the season.
This event combines the elements of a drum jam, a chant share, and intensive ecstatic ritual. Through experiential work we will explore tools and techniques for ecstatic rituals. Together we will co-create a ritual to focus on healing work, building energy, or using the seasonal tides to effect personal transformation.
How do we raise energy in ritual? How do we facilitate potent, transformative rituals?
March 20 we celebrate the winds of change, the equinox, the spring thaw that melts the ice away and prepares us for the growth to come. What do you yearn for, hope for? What waters need to melt, what fires need to rise?
The fun begins at 6pm. Come on out and bring your drums, flutes, violins, your bodies, your voices, your shakers and rattles and jingly scarves. If you’ve wanted to learn more chants, or share the ones you know, if you’ve been wanting to drum or dance together, or just wanting to bask in an ecstatic group ritual, this is a time to play, to jam, to raise some fire together and connect.
Join us to harness the fire of our life force and raise up the sacred fire in our hearts!
Admission:
Sliding scale $5-$25, no one turned away. Half the proceeds will go to support Occult Bookstore. Please RSVP by emailing ShaunaAura@ringinganvil.org
Facilitated by: Shauna Aura.
