It's Coming Soon!

The next Open To The Public Frame Drum Sale is happening Wednesday, June 3rd at the Southern Crystal Company in Old Hickory (just outside of Nashville).

I will be available from 5-6:30pm at the store for people to come by and find a sonic match (ie. vocal match) with a frame drum meant for them.

Then stay for the Sacred Sound Circle class from 6:30-8:30pm to lean into and learn about the many ways you can interact with the drum, connect with your voice, innate rhythm and the vibrational power that you already have. Its time to reclaim and unleash it.

You do not need to register to come to the Frame Drum Sale, just let me know you plan to stop by. If you are interested in registering for the class you can learn more about it through the link in the comments below.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 6th is the next Sacred Sound Circle at Southern Crystal Company in Old Hickory.

The experience starts at 6:30, but I will be at the shop from 5:00 to 6:30 to help anyone who wants to purchase a frame drum and mallet for themselves to come by and have a semi-private session to do so.

I will have plenty of frame drums to choose from. The selection of your frame drum will include vocalizing into various drums to find the one that resonates your voice the easiest & best.

It creates a much deeper connection with your frame drum. It’s not about singing, but making sounds into the drum to find where the sweet spot rings for you.

Every drum has a different frequency and it’s important to make sure that the one you buy is a relational and resonant match for you. It will truly become a very important sacred tool for your journey ahead.

And then consider staying for the class where you will learn how to utilize this incredible tool in your daily life to raise your own vibration, using vocals, rhythm and sound vibration massage.

I look forward to being with all who are called to come!

You can register for the class through the link in the comments below. You do not need to make a reservation to come and select a drum (from 5:00-6:30), just let me know that you plan to come.

THE POWER OF SOUND

Sound originated in the cosmos and brought forth creation. This concept is evident not only in Anishinaabemowin, the Ojibwwe language, but also in aadizookewin (our storytelling).

Since ancient times, aadizookewin has been regarded as a ritual invocation where the storyteller's voice acts as a channel, breathing life into stories (bimaadizi). Consequently, sound is vital in bringing tales to life.

Although I am not an oral storyteller and instead convey stories through writing, sound is a recurring motif in my narratives. Through my written stories and artworks, I delve into Anishinaabe perspectives, incorporating the spiritual significance of sound, sky-beings, and the natural world. My storytelling often links the sound-making of the Thunderbird (sky power) and the loon (water power) to the Midewiwin (Grand Medicine Lodge) traditions, emphasizing the healing powers inherent in these connections.

Ceremonial objects and natural phenomena, such as rattles (zhiishiigwanan), the thunder (animikiii), the popping of miinikaanan or seeds, and the presence of "singing rocks" (asiniig negamowaad), are frequently included, viewing them as living, sounding entities that hold ancient wisdom and healing medicine.

It’s a BIG week. A very important week for a major inner shift to happen.

Friday’s New Moon in Aries (April 17th) may in fact bring about the doorway and portal to a whole new level of being… if you are ready to take full responsibility and respondability for what your life will hold in the next chapter.

We are all being called, but not everyone will choose the opportunity for this time of passage.

Nate Callahan, Jeremy Ryan and I are holding a very special New Moon Reiki-Infused Sound Journey in East Nashville in support of this unique celestial time.

It truly can be the opportunity to return to your celestial home for a time of remembrance and bring new awareness back to Earth. A time of reunion and integration of your Higher Self into your body. And set new intentions for the days ahead.

This journey has been that powerful for many. Are you open to the possibility that it will transform your life? We hope you are.

Join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening of Bask Retreat Center — a space designed to help you unplug, restore, & reconnect.

We’re opening our gates and our hearts for a joyful gathering that welcomes friends, neighbors, supporters, and the curious to experience the land and vision behind Bask. During this special event, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the property, meet our team, and learn about the wellness experiences, creative programs, and nature-based offerings that will shape our community moving forward.

Wander the trails, visit our emerging gardens, and step into the spaces where workshops, gatherings, and healing practices will unfold. Throughout the afternoon, we’ll share the story of Bask — how the land is being restored, how our upcoming programs center mind-body wellness, and how you can be part of this new chapter.

Whether you’re here to celebrate with us, discover something new, or simply enjoy the beauty of Middle Tennessee, we welcome you with gratitude. Come connect, explore, and help us mark the beginning of Bask Retreat Center.

We can’t wait to share this moment with you.
