Women Drummers

"As women recall and re-remember their birthright as drummers the world begins to change."
PSG

Drums create a powerful cadence that underlies the rhythm of all life.  Listening for and being able to discern that beat sustains and propels us forward into our lives.  Drums are one of the most ancient instruments and in the hands of women it spurs us into our quest to uncover our ancient roots.  The drum teaches and allows women the experiential magic to celebrate the Universe in Her Feminine Form, and to participate in an ancient religion that is free from grandiosity, violence, and is in harmony with our natural rhythms of being.   

  
Drumming spirals us inward and we touch our inner mysteries. Perhaps patriarchy is just a blip on the screen of human history.  Women are in charge of our bodies and spirits in a natural state that flows inward to our mysteries and outward into life .  Drums and drumming can restore women to our rightful place of reclaiming our consciousness and living centered in ourselves. 

The drum beat is central to life; through a heartbeat, the pulsing vibration of life around us, and the rhythm and vibration of the Earth herself.  The drum beat intertwines with our daily lives.  Listen to the pulse of life on a busy street, hear it in the rhythm and intrinsic beat of nature, watch a child relax as she/he is held next to your heart, and feel you own heart beat blending into the rhythm of life.  The drum reminds and teaches us this. 

  
Drumming calls us home to ourselves where we can rejoice in our creative beauty.  The drum beat carries us outward allowing us to reclaim the majesty of our feminine mystery in the world.  In doing this we take courage in our birthright as the original drummers of the world.  This birthright leads us forward to claiming the natural rhythm of life in establishing ourselves as agents of change that is needed at this time in history.

Relax, rejoice, and celebrate this birthright we are born to and with.  Reclaiming ourselves as true women in this world leads to the restoration of balance between the many advances we enjoy to learning to live in harmony with our nature.  It is through this we learn to walk in beauty and balance upon our Mother Earth.
