Ancestral Songlines
A CEREMONIAL DRUMMING AND CHANTING WEEKEND
Friday August 8th to Sunday August 10th 2008
with JANA RUNNALLS
at The Meeting House, Chalice Well Gardens, Glastonbury
Jana will teach magical ritual chants and Shamanic rhythms from different cultural traditions as we tune in to the sounds of our ancestral memory on the powerful ancient Isle of Avalon. As we stimulate our ancient memories with ceremonial sound, it will provide us with the inspiration to re-create both personal and collective ‘Songlines’, the dreaming tracks of those who came before…
Take this opportunity to not only share the weekend having fun with chanting and drumming in a group, but to walk and dream on the land. Feel the interconnectedness of all life - with Shamanic drumming and chanting around the Ancestral Dream Wheel. The weekend will also include drum healing, chi gung, pranayama, meditation, a guided ancestral journey, chakra chanting, medicine walks around the landscape and a Saturday night ceremonial fire.
The workshop is situated in the exquisite surroundings of Chalice Well Gardens which is a World Peace Garden in the heart of the beautiful sacred landscape of Glastonbury. Two powerful leylines - the Michael line and the Mary line - cross in the gardens, the point from which we can create a new dream for the world.
