Samford Red Tent invites you
Join us for a women’s circle and drumming workshop! This event falls after a New Moon in Aries which brings a vibration of curiosity, playfulness and fun!
We welcome guest drumming teacher Katya Skorik. Katya has a keen interest in the arts, personal growth, spirituality and healing. Katya and Red Tent facilitator Cyena have put together a beautiful program for you, using the healing power of drumming as a focus for our women’s circle. Guided by Katya, we will use the drums to participate in a drumming meditation and undertake a spiritual drumming journey. Katya will share with us the history of women in shamanism and in drumming. We will learn drumming techniques (aimed at beginners) in a fun and memorable way (Katya has some creative tips and tricks up her sleeve!). True to our women’s circle format, we will all have a chance to express ourselves in sharing circle at the end.
This event promises to be a fun, empowering and powerful event! Tickets are limited, so please book your place to avoid disappointment. This event is open to women and maidens aged 11+.

Meet your facilitator
Hi, I’m Cyena! I started participating in women’s sharing circles at 18yo when a university friend and I would gather to share poetry, meditate and share honestly with each other, always around a candle and with cups of tea. The circle slowly grew as we invited other women. Over the years, I have attended many other circles and gatherings. I love the sacred ritual of a women’s circle and the safe space to honestly, openly and deeply share with other women, even if you don’t know them. I’ve found that when women gather in sacred space, in the spirit of sisterhood, acknowledging the spiritual soul and strength within each other, it's a powerful and inspiring thing. Whether it’s a gathering of two or a gathering of 60, the intent always fulfils its purpose within a circle and I always leave feeling that my cup has been filled. I hope that you will join me in sacred space so that we can uplift each other.
