Prayer Carriers is a call to re-ignite this sacred ritual, bringing together women from all walks of life to share, to pray, to dream, and to find the healing prayers and actions that guide us all towards a more natural existence.

Long-time Golden Drum members Matt and Hillary Canale will facilitate kirtan monthly in the space. Matt has been studying kirtan for the past decade in Hare Krishna temples in the city and upstate New York. Kirtan is a beautiful way to learn how to sing as a practice to offer our hearts and love to something much greater than ourselves.

In this workshop we will guide participants on how to use the medicine of their voice through singing, chanting, mantra, icaros, toning, overtone vocalizations, and other vocal techniques, with and without instrumental accompaniment.

This event will be rescheduled.

The cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering in which participants gather to connect to their hearts and experience new life through the healing qualities of cacao.

A plant revered by the indigenous people of the Americas, cacao has received widespread recognition through its usage as the key ingredient in chocolate. For the Mayan people, cacao is utilized as a rebirthing medicine, helping people get rid of negativity, release emotional suffering, and experience universal love.

Align your energy with the powerful influence of the Capricorn season and the Cancer full moon. This is a beautiful time to ground in the structured and focused energy of the Capricorn season under the nurturing and intuitive Cancer full moon. Cancer is ruled by the moon, and so this is a particularly strong Full Moon and the perfect time to come together in prayer to deeply listen to what our soul has to say and set the intentions to integrate that into our lives.
