Red Drum Day Retreat Offerings
Gather in circle to remember the Goddess for a sacred day retreat communing spell bound poetry, stories and songs while you weave your own 13" Red Drum
The pulse of life is what the ancient women and priestesses understood long before
they had words for it. The drum was the means that our ancestral sisters used to
summon the goddess, and the drums was used in rituals that invoked the archetypal
patterns of life, death and, rebirth. - Nikiah Seeds
The Red Drum Lineage.
The red drum lineage was birthed from my teacher, Nikiah Seeds creatrix of Red Moon Mystery School and co-author of Moon Mysteries: Reclaiming Women's Menstrual Wisdom.
The story weaves like this. When Nikiah was in the depths of her Shamanic apprenticeship she was to make her drum and through her quest her guides showed her a world wrapped in the sacred color red. The symbolism for the Goddess. For blood. For life, death and rebirth.
From here she deepened her studies in women's mysteries and birthed the Red Drum Carriers in her Red Moon Mystery School and a book on menstrual wisdom, and found a long established connection between women, the Goddess, drumming and the colour red.
Nikiah birthed a large community of red drum carriers and has established a team of Red Drum Leaders to bring this medicine way into even more hands.
The drums are a cedar frame and Elk hide ethically sourced in Canada from various indigenous families to whom the supplies are purchased from.
Today I am honoured to hold this lineage reconnecting women to the primordial womb and blood mysteries imprinted instinctually into our bones, blood and flesh.

I am honoured to host this in person event in Squamish.

Your food is catered by a local chef. You receive a highly nutrient dense and delicious vegetarian meal along with tea wild crafted by myself.
rooted in ceremony
The offerings shared in these gatherings are rooted in my Pagan ancestry of Celtic & Slavic influences.
The crafting of the drum is powerful and significant in your personal sovereignty and reclamation work as an embodiment of the Goddess; the keeper of life & death.
The drum is a symbol and may never be played but hung as a beautiful reminder of this initiation. You may however find that after you've activated the heart beat of your drum you are called to play and continue working with it for many years to come.
