The modern way of life has isolated us
from Mother Earth, and from our intrinsic selves. This has left us
groping through life with a profound emptiness—we are strangers to our
plant and animal relations, and we are confused and frustrated by our
deep unmet yearnings for self-knowing and relevant relationship.
Our
mission at the Teaching Drum is to facilitate the connection to self,
and to the Earth our first Mother. Learning earth ways and skills is
important in this process, yet not enough. Along with skills, we help
you peel back the layers of habit and convention so that you can
reawaken your innate sensory and intuitive abilities. To the extent
that you shed the layers that disrupt your communion with the natural
world, you will be a fully functioning human—able to hear the voice of
your ancestors, communicate with animals, and revel in your personal
power. This is what a native calls Walking in
Balance. Come and find Balance; we would
be honored to walk with you. |
