With Rosalyn Grady:

Journeying with the drum has been an ancient practice used to enter into a co-creative process with your highest intentions and with the world of spirit and the ancestors. Rosalyn will use the sacred drum to assist participants with entering the trance state to “plant our prayers” and receive the wisdom and guidance of spirit and the “ancient ones”. Rosalyn will open each group with teachings and guidance regarding the practice of “traveling with the drum”. We will then enter the trance journey, a solo journey into the land of spirit and intention. Following the journey we will use writing or drawing of the symbols we receive and close with the sharing of Messages and insights.
