On Tuesday, January 12th, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, Star of the Sea Centre for Spiritual Living and Practice is hosting this Free Online Zoom event — an eclectic set of songs and chants led by Marilyn Walker, visual artist, musician, anthropologist, ethnobotanist and shamanic practitioner.

Music is one of the best stress relievers there is; it opens the heart and brings joy to the darkness within and without. Drumming gives a steady beat to synchronize our heartbeats and calm our thought-filled minds.

The music on this evening is a combination of covers and originals, songs, and chants with a new Covid song. We start with the riotous and energizing, then deepen gradually into the calming and contemplative. We finish with a shamanic calling in each of the 4 directions — you may join in with your drum and call in any spirit helps you’d like to.

Join in with a drum, rattle, rhythm sticks or clap along with your hands. And since we won’t be able to hear or see you, feel free to jump or waltz around. If you can drum, vocalize and move at the same time, you get the deepest experience ever!

While keeping social distance (so you won’t see everyone together), Marilyn will be joined by Edgar Hann on his Newfoundland button accordion and Adam Huber on guitar.
