6-Week Drum Making & Healing Journey with Carlos and Wendy

We are offering two class time options for this 6-week journey:

🥁 Monday Class — Beginning on April 6th at 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

🥁 Friday Class — Beginning on April 10th at 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Since we split the offering into two, we now have room for a couple more people. Please message Wendy to register 🙏

If neither works, I can add you to the list for a possible Thursday evening class beginning in June.

Location:
281 Restigouche Rd, Suite 300, Oromocto NB

We will also stay after each class for an extra half hour or so for questions, visiting, and community connection for anyone who would like to stay.

About the Journey

This 6-weekish healing journey is based on Carlos’ Grandmother’s traditional teachings and stories — teachings of respect for all of life:

The Standing People (the trees),
The Four-Leggeds (deer, bear, and others),
Those Who Live in the Sea,
The Creepy Crawlies,
The Earth, Air, Water, and Fire,
and the living Energy and Essence of all things —
and their connection to the Drum.

During this journey, you will learn how the drum came into being, what it represents, what it means, how it is used, how it heals, and how the drum can become a reflection of your own soul.

This journey includes 6 consecutive weekly classes, followed by a Full Moon Ceremony and Drum/Drummer Initiation.

We will take a short break in the middle of each class for washroom and snacks.
If anyone would like to bring a small snack to share with the group, you are welcome to, but it is not required.

For those who have previously taken the class and would like to return to finish a drum or sit in again without making a new drum, there will be a donation box available instead of the drum fee.

Energy Exchange

The energy exchange depends on the size of the drum hoop that chooses you:
• 10” — $150
• 12” — $250
• 14” — $300
• 16” — $350
• 18” — $400

Payment may be made in full or spread out over the length of the class.
A $50 deposit is required when you pick up your hoop (during the first class), and the remaining balance is due by the last class.

Cash or e-transfer to Carlos are accepted provided.

If you feel called to the drum, you are welcome here. 💗🙏

The Cosmic Weather Is Changing

The Myth of the King and the Deep Well

There is an old archetypal story that lives inside this week’s energy.

It is the story of the Young King and the Bottomless Well.

The young king inherits a kingdom too early. He is given responsibility before he feels ready. Everyone looks to him for answers, decisions, leadership.

But inside, he carries a secret:

He does not believe he is capable.

He believes everyone else knows more.
He believes he must not make mistakes.
He believes if he loses control, everything will fall apart.

So he becomes controlling.

Not because he is power-hungry.
But because he is afraid.

Afraid of failing.
Afraid of not knowing.
Afraid of being exposed as inadequate.

This is the shadow of Gate 21 — control as protection from fear.
And the shadow of Gate 48 — the fear of not being enough.

One day, an old woman (the archetype of Wisdom) takes him to a well and tells him to draw water.

He lowers the bucket and realizes the well is incredibly deep. He cannot see the bottom.

He tells the woman, “The well is too deep. I will never reach the bottom. I will never have all the knowledge I need to be a good king.”

And the old woman laughs and says:

“Wisdom is not at the bottom of the well.
Wisdom is in the drawing of the water.”

This is the teaching of Gate 48.

You do not become confident before you do the work.
You become confident by doing the work.

And then she tells him something even more important:

“You are not meant to control the kingdom.
You are meant to tend it.”

That is the teaching of Gate 21.

Control says:
“If I hold everything tightly, nothing will go wrong.”

Stewardship says:
“I will take care of what is mine, and trust others to take care of what is theirs.”

Control is fear.
Stewardship is leadership.

Insecurity says:
“I need to know everything before I begin.”

Wisdom says:
“I will learn as I go.”

The Deeper Lesson of This Week

This week may bring up:
• Fear of not being ready
• Fear of not knowing enough
• Control issues (yours or others)
• Responsibility, money, work, leadership themes
• Being asked to step up
• Being asked to let go

Because this week is asking a very deep question:

Do you trust your depth — or do you try to control because you don’t?

Gate 48 says: You are deeper than you think.
Gate 21 says: You are not responsible for everything.

Together they say:

You do not need to control everything.
You need to grow into your authority.

Reflection for This Week

Sit with these questions slowly:

1. Where am I trying to control because I’m afraid?
2. Where do I feel like I’m not ready yet?
3. What responsibility is actually mine — and what is not?
4. Where am I being asked to grow into leadership?

Closing

You are not meant to control the whole kingdom.

You are meant to learn, slowly, how to tend your part of the garden well.

The cosmic weather is shifting —
and it’s teaching us that depth grows over time, and real leadership is quieter than control.

Still feeling so much gratitude after the beautiful evening we shared this weekend. 💗 These kinds of gatherings remind me how powerful it is when people come together — to listen, to reflect, to share, and simply to be in the same space with intention. There is something deeply healing about community and about being witnessed just as you are.💜

A heartfelt thank you to Paige for inviting me to collaborate, and to Emily of Dog Eared Books for hosting us. If you haven’t been there yet, it is so much more than a bookstore and well worth the visit!

We are hoping to bring another gathering to the Hampton area in the future, so if you’re from that area and feel called to join us next time, let me know — we would love to see you there. 💖😊🙏
