New Year’s Day Drumming, Rest & Release
Details
The Flow of the Day:
As an opening to our day of contemplation and meditation, at 10:00 AM, Leira will offer 20–30 minutes of drumming on the shamanic hoop drum. A steady drum beat can support a meditative state. You are invited to rest, meditate, or journey inward in whatever way feels right for you, perhaps forming an intention for the day—or for the year ahead. We will allow space to arrive and settle, followed by the drumming, and then quiet time afterward for journaling and integration.
From 11:00 AM onwards, we move into a relaxed hourly rhythm. Each hour begins with 15 minutes of connection and tea, followed by 45 minutes of self-care of your choice. Whether you want to use that time for meditation, reading, or journaling, the space is yours.
Coming and Going:
This is an open-flow event. You are welcome to join us for the full day or just a few hours. To keep the space peaceful, we simply ask that you arrive at the top of the hour.
Logistics & Amenities:
Please RSVP on Meetup.com (free to join) or email Leira at [Leira@MiddleWorldHealing.com](mailto:leira@middleworldhealing.com). If you forget or decide at the last minute, feel free to just show up!
Food:
Bring your own lunch. A refrigerator and microwave are available for your use.
Comfort:
Mats, blankets, water, and hot water for tea or instant coffee are provided. Bring a refillable water bottle!
The Release:
Bring any physical items you wish to release to our 5:00 PM burn pit. We will also provide paper and pens for you to write down things you wish to let go of.
Donations:
This day is offered freely as a gift to the community members. If you are able and feel moved to do so, donations help cover utilities, heat, and supplies, and allow The Shala to continue hosting accessible gatherings. Even a few dollars makes a meaningful difference.
We look forward to sharing this space with you and setting a peaceful tone for the year ahead.
With gratitude,
Leira & Rebecca
