Ceremonies & Celebrations

was one of the primary skills of Priestesses, who used the beats of their frame drums to rouse community consciousness & attain spiritual awareness for healing & divination.

Inspired by these women & adding a contemporary twist, Barbara Gail facilitates a unique meditative experience of individual activation in a shared ritual of rhythm, sound, & movement, raising our collective vibration & altering consciousness for healing. Rooted in the belly of the beat, her Drum, Voice, Heart, & Spirit are your guides in connecting you with your Ancient Future.

Inspired by the rhythmic cycles of the Sun, Moon, & Stars, each month’s Temple Experience holds a new theme for deep inner growth & healing.

 

Bring small drums & percussion instruments (some provided).
Looking forward to seeing you, let’s release The Power of the Feminine Heart & Spirit!

Please check my Calendar Page to find out when the next monthly Women’s Temple is.

“It was a wonderful event, Barbara Gail! Thank you! The water, surf & moonlight were perfect too. The breeze, lovely women, drums, containers of flowers, fire wands, crystal bowls, & essential oil added to the beautiful ceremony. We sang & danced as the sun set. The nearly full moon brightened the darkened beach & lit up the pounding surf. We gave blossoms to the gulf & laughed as the warm rolling waves engulfed us. Joyful nature spirits we were, feeling the unity!”

“It was wonderful in so many ways. The processionals, meditation, songs, dancers, candle lighting, instrumentation, lights, sand, water, sunset, & the interaction between the performers & participants. You did a fantastic job. You were inspirational, ethereal, & dramatic, with a sense of rhythm, pace, texture, timing, inflection, enunciation, word coloring & interpretation. You were meditative,thoughtful, & thought- provoking, competent, considerate, compassionate. You conveyed a sense of tranquility to your listeners & observers. Your personal pulse was on everything.
