Earth Ecstasy Spring Retreat
May 21-23
(Friday Eve - Sunday Noon)

Drumming & laughing, forest & lake, respite, hoo-ha & wahoo, soul-talk, fabulous comfortable cabins with actual beds, sauna, delight, down-time & quiet, tribal whoop-de-doo, bonfire & drumming, thrilling, cleansing, healing ceremony of grounding & renewal with earth, water, air, fire and the Presence of the Great Unnameable, Untameable Mystery, all under the sensuous new springtime sun and loving new moon.

We need time away from the hustle and tussle of our life. We need time to work deeply with the powers of the Spirit. We need time to be with our tribe. We need time to sink into the embrace of the earth. We need this time to rebalance and restore. We need this time to come back into our soul, to come back into our body, to come back into our authentic self.

Crow Wing Crest Lodge near Akley, Minnesota (about a 3-hour drive north of the Twin Cities). We will have the whole resort to ourselves!

Cost: $275. (Early bird special! Pay before April 1: $250. Wahoo.) Price includes all lodging, retreat fun and dinner. Spaces are limited. Some scholarship places are available

If you are interested in using this time to do one-on-one shamanic or ceremonial work with me, I’ve reserved three slots: Thursday evening, Friday morning and Friday afternoon. Please contact me if this interests you. Click here to Email me.

The Spiritual Power of the Receding Hairline

For father’s day I will be shaving off the nub. As a trained theologian, it is time for me to put down the books and take spiritual action. For those who need to know, the nub is that humiliating last patch of hair just above the forehead, the last scrap of youth clinging to an otherwise balding head. I'm shaving it off. Here is why. Many men have experienced the crushing realization that their hairline is receding. It makes no difference if they are young or old, if it has happened glacially or with the suddenness of a wildfire laying bare the forest. The moment when the man faces the truth is what the 18th century German theologians aptly termed Aufschrei den Verlust von Haarleukoplakie Steifigkeit, loosely translated as “the mournful gasp over the loss of hairy stiffness.” The Germans dealt with the moment of realization by drinking dark beer and moving several pews closer to the rumbling organ in church, but in our time we are peppered with hair replacement products promising...

Dear seekers after the Spirit, Now four people have sent me this video of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, telling me how amazing it is. Finally I watched it and they were all right, it’s astonishing. Now I get to become part of the viral spread of this video by recommending it to you. It’s 18 minutes long, and it is well worth it. I’ve made some comments below as a response to the video. Taylor is a brain scientist who describes her own experience of having a stroke, and how this event opened her perception about the workings of the brain. She points out that each side of the brain essentially creates its own reality and those two different realities are only barely connected by a thin (but exceedingly wondrous) membrane. The left brain’s world relies on the sense of “I” and therefore a sense of being separate from everything else. It observes everything as objects outside itself. The right brain relies on a sense of oneness with everything, a sense of expansiveness and inclusion. Each brain li...

Dear Solstice Drummers, If you attended my Winter Solstice Drumming/Ceremony at Wisdom Ways, thank you! I promised you a few musings on the Reindeer Runes, and here they are below. By the way, if you purchased a script of the show, the runes in the script are in an inncorrect order. My aplologies about that. The runes in your program, and below, are in correct alignment. If you would like to purchase a script that contains the text from this year's show as well as last year's "Blessing," please send me an email at jaime@drummingthesoulawake.com . There's alot more in the script than actually made it into the show, thankfully - or you would have been there for four hours. When I began working on this solstice event, I considered using the classic Scandinavian/Celtic runes. Hundreds of books have been written interpreting these runes in wildly different ways. While the runes are a powerful meditation tool, they come from a time and culture far removed from our own....
