It is time for us in this day for the need of prayer, to awaken the heartbeat of our Mother the Earth’s love. Sheila and Magali would like to humbly invite you to experience the awakening of your own Grandmother Elk Drum.
As human beings raised in the Tradition of the First Nations, Sheila and Magali would like you to experience the traditional making of this spiritual vessel.
We are in a state of much need of this way of prayer. We pray that you can see it in your hearts to awaken your own heartbeats into the experience of making your Grandmother Elk Drum. For Sheila and Magali it is a way of life that has brought them to their Faith Keeper ways of their respected traditional nations.
Sheila is a traditional Mohawk woman of the Wolf Clan, and Magali is a traditional Tsa-la-gi of the Paint Clan Hidden Bear. Sheila during a fasting heard that she was to be a Peace Keeper and in the traditional household ways of the First Nations advised her husband Magali to follow her into the Peace Keeping journey. Going on 7 years now, they have been in the cycle of the Peace Keeper training at the Peace Village. A journey of love and illumination has awakened in them. Community and compassion for all. Sheila and Magali wish for you to share with them in supporting the Peace Village and coming to learn to tie your own Grandmother Elk Drum.
Through meditation you will connect to the spirit of the Elk, in the First Nations the Elk will bring you closest to your stand on the Earth to awaken the voice of compassion for those that you pray for.
Imagine yourself becoming one with the Elk during the tying of your drum. When you make your beater, and it touches the center of the heart beat of your Grandmother Elk Drum, we are told that it will bring you to a place of complete illumination into the stairway of the seven sisters to the Creator’s world. Sheila and Magali encourage you to come to this workshop, bringing the family together around the tying of the drum. It will encourages stability within the circle.
