"A CALL TO CIRCLE", Women's Drumming Retreat with Sherry Gingras in Boerne,Texas at the Namaste Retreat Center , May 30-31st-June 1st! RELAX! REJUVINATE! REJOICE! in this beautiful , quiet, serene setting among towering live oaks on Ciebelo Creek! Stroll down to the creek, enjoy the hot tub, go for a swim, relax on the huge back deck and play your drum under the stars, commune with kindred spirits, share stories, tears and laughter as we wake up our spirits and immerse ourselves in the magic of the drum and rhythm for a whole weekend together! Come gather in circle and experience the gifts of community drumming, singing, and dancing. Creative expression through music, art and movement has been utilized by indigenous cultures for eons as a means to connect to the heart of our most brilliant, shining SELVES and to share the gifts found therein with the community. This weekend we will explore this awakening of our spirits through our music together...creating harmonious conversations from heart to heart with each other through our drums and our rhythms, our voices, and our movement. We will learn several West African Rhythms and songs, do some Nia and Dancekinetics movement, relax and reconnect to nature and remember our place in this vast continuum of life. Saturday night we will have a Community Drum and Dessert Circle on our back deck and invite the women from Boerne, San Antonio, Austin, Fredericksburg and Kerrville and surrounding areas to join us in honoring our selves, our Earth Mother, and all of our sisters around the globe ...particularly those who are living with oppression, violence, and conditions that are limiting them from reaching their full potential as vibrant, creative,loving, beautiful human beings. Our circle and our weekend will be dedicated to creating a supportive space for each of us to grow and stretch more fully and with more ease, contentment, gratitude and intention into being the amazing,heart-connected, passionate, and powerful women we are intended to be!
