Moonrise: Daughters of an Ancient Pulse

Also, "Women, Ritual and the Frame Drum"



Maine's All-Women Frame Drum Procession and Circle,

and now in Florida, too!

Instructor: Barbara Gail

For all women and inspired teen girls. No musical experience needed, unless it's noted on the calendar for a specific group.

Group ritual, trancey rhythms, singing and drumming! Newcomers are always welcome to join our circle of rhythm, beauty, and meditative, healing drum magic. A diverse community of women, transforming ourselves into a simple, powerful circle and procession of ceremonial and celebratory drummers, for our own growth and pleasure. Enjoy occasional full moon beach drum rituals, the supportive company of each other, food and drumming together indoors and out.

Some of us may play for special events:

weddings, worship services, solstice performances,

and festivals, but this is optional.

Come once to see if our group is right for you. Commitment is not required; join us when you can. Please call or email ahead to let us know you're coming, and to find out if there's something you need to bring.

If you've been gone a while, we miss you and welcome you back anytime! Don't worry about falling behind the group, there's always a place in the circle,

and in the rhythms, for you!

Drums provided and available for purchase, or bring your own riq or appropriate tambourine, and/or tar.


 


 

"Moonrise has been your greatest gift to me and I appreciate this blessing wholeheartedly! Looking forward to becoming a drummer with your guidance."
—Participant / Social Worker

"Our sleepover retreat was a huge success and I'm still high from it. It was the most totally awesome, safe, happy time I've had in my life so far. Thank you so much for all of the thought and preparation you did to pull it together. Three of us got together for a sauna the next day and we couldn't stop talking about what all the experiences meant to us."
—Participant / Security Officer


"I enjoyed our Solstice Performance, playing alone, and playing and singing and accompanying Leah Wolfsong. WOW! And how impressed I was with your performance as Leah's percussionist! You are the best. I appreciate your abilities as a performance artist. I enjoy your skills as a teacher and leader of Moonrise. Thanks for sharing your special talents with me."

"I had a wonderful time last weekend. It was just beautiful and I am so wholeheartedly moved by how great a treasure we all are as a group to you. You certainly are held that way in our hearts as well. Thank you for all the gifts."
— Participant / Mother


"What a wonderful retreat… thank you so very much for leading us in such a beautiful, meaningful series of rituals. I feel very privileged to have been a part of it all. The experience was truly transformational for me and one that I will never forget. I received so many profound blessings from it. I want to continue to feel the power of everyone there and of your gifts for the rest of my life. I had a vision while you were playing the drum for the drum blessing ceremony that was so powerful, so profoundly beautiful and moving. I will always be immensely grateful. I feel so lucky to walk the earth at the same time as you and even more fortunate that our paths have crossed."
