Our voices and the drum are portals for our intentions, devotions, prayers, creativity, expression and offerings. Together a beautiful gift to experience and practice.
Sixes reminds me of the sacred geometric shape of the honeycomb, the hive which reminds me of the bees and of Layne Redmond who inspired a love and curiosity for the bees.
Many of the ancient women frame drummer images she found were of priestesses referred to as Melissa which means bee in Greek.
The bees are a beautiful super organism that has lot's of wisdom to share.
Our drumming and singing is our honoring and gratitude for them.
