Kriket’s Drumming Circle meets every first and third Friday of the month.  We meet at 10155 – 89 street in Edmonton.  Doors open at 18:30 and circle begins at 19:00. The cost is $5. We based our teachings on the principles of shamanism.  Kriket is hanging up her drumming stick as of June 4 2010.  So if you have always wanted to come and never have this will be your last season to join us.  Kriket at 780-934-8222.

I am still seeking ideas for the 2010 Edmonton drumming season. I ask that your ideas be a bit more specific than to just say shamanism.  Something like ‘spirit of water’ or ‘alchemy and shamanism’ or ‘nature spirits in the middle world’.  So far we have suggestions for hungarian shamanism; divination; psychopomp work to name a few. Keep them coming

I look forward to your ideas.  If you also have comments regarding the way circle is currently operating I would be happy to hear those to.

So far we have the following circles planned…

WHAT A CELEBERATION ON SEPT 18 - We met and holy moly WHAT A DRUMMING CIRCLE!! What an amazing turn out!! Thank you to everyone who came and brought their ideas and discussions. Further to our discussions here is a listing of some what we have planned so far this year.

Oct 2  – POWER RETRIEVAL - Often times I have treated patients for what appears to be power loss.  We will discuss power, power loss and how to get it back.  We will be working with partners as well as our own journey work.  – CHANGED

As some of you may be aware a powerful earthquake (7.9) has struck near the city of Padang on Indonesia’s Sumatra island on Wednesday, September 29.  There are conflicting #’s with respect to death.  The death toll is likely to rise as many buildings in the city of 900,000 people had collapsed.

 We are dedicating our circle to psyhcopomp and energetic clearing.

 For those with experience in dowsing, please bring your tools.

For those with experience in Reiki and other healing modalities, please come prepared.

For those who have been with me for other psychopomp work, come prepared to work.

 For those who feel this circle would be too deep or painful for you, I honor your decision not to come.

 We will do a return of Power another time.  We still have some circles that are not yet planned.

Wow was this ever Fun!! Thank you Jane for an interesting thought provoking evening.  We discussed

 20 Nov –We have a special Movie Night – we will not be holding a regular circle.  Instead we are going to be viewing the movie Shadow Side.  It addressed what the shadow is, how to work with it and how to befriend your shadow. Doors open at 18:30, circle starts at 19:00.  It is located at 10155 – 89 street.  Cost is $5.

This was great.  Debbie Ford was the force behind this movie.  The feedback has been very positive and enlightening.  After we relaxed to the soothing sounds of Monty’s Crystal Bowls.  Thanks Monty!!

 4 Dec – Scandinavian Shamanism – specifically the practice of Seidhr and Joiking.  Through story, techniques and demonstration we will introduce you to a very ancient shamanic practice.  Doors open at 18:30, circle starts at 19:00.  It is located at 10155 – 89 street.  Cost is $5.

Okay this is one of the those circles that was more organic than planned.  We discussed the Goddess Nyx – Goddess of the Night.  She is one the archetype/foundation goddesses.  She is so old that there are very few references to her in written stories.  I drew my inspiration from Greek Mythology.  We joiked and did journey work to meet some of the children of Nyx – like death, moros, the three fates, Eros, Erobos, Thantos.  It was a deep night dedicated to the crowning of our darkest night – Winter Solstice.

18 Dec – Kriket’s Drumming Circle is cancelled for Christmas.
