Turtle Spirit Jam: Ridiculous Fools

HOSTED BY: Tasara (Jen ofthe Earth) ALTAR: by Siri Sanguine We are Fools! Ridiculously foolish. Tinkering, on the brink, stepping forward, taking dives, letting go. Bumbling, falling down, laughing out loud, reaching, doing our best. Revelry in the ride!! Woo! Come Fools! Come one and all! Come to play in the play of our Sacred Ridiculousness! Be free! Be wild with the ignorance of that which has not yet come. Get down! Get up! In the leap of faith that we take as we enter the Dreamtime or the wilderness within, working with shadow and archetypes to learn our life lessons as individuals AND as a community... that the treasures we find. Trusting that our faith, path, spirit -or what ever you choose to name it- will guide our steps as we learn and grow into the beings of light, we are evolving into along the way. But not serious! :D WHEN: April 4th, 7-9pm WHERE: Embrace the Moon in Ballard COST: $10-15 HOW TO COME PREPARED: BRING an object representing The Sacred Unknown to place on the altar. BRING: Your Sacred Foolishness - Dress for dancing if you dance - Extra instruments to share would be so generous XOXXOXXOOOXOXXXOXOXO ---------------- Normal TSJ Stuff---------------------------- Turtle Spirt Jam is a project of Littlelight Ceremonies, founded by Tasara. Spirit Jam are community ceremonies where we take a deep journey using our drums, voices, other instruments and bodies to explore the Other Worlds for insight and healing, for ourselves, each other and Mother Earth Father Sky. Some participants also come to journey or to meditate. Turtle Spirit Jam is a place to practice listening to the spirit of the drum and the spirits the drums evoke. Turtle Spirit Jam is musically hosted rather than facilitated and drummers at all levels of experience are welcome. You are invited to dance, rattle, drum, hum, drone, chant and/or vocalize your intention and your joy in our safe & open circle. Drums, didgeridoos, flutes and other instruments are all welcome. ** Please bring personal items to add to the altar. (you can take them back of course) ** Small percussion instruments, extra drums to share would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! Please plan to arrive a few minutes early so as to avoid "breaking the mood." as we do start on time. Thank you! If you do arrive late, please be conscious of subtlety when entering the space. Well-behaved children are welcome! **People of all religions and spiritual paths are welcome.** TURTLE SPIRIT JAM EVENTS ARE DRUG/ALCOHOL FREE. Please do not mix ceremony with altering substances in our space.
