Sacred Instruments in Goddess Tradition of Ancient Egypt
2024-12-30 15:00 - 16:00 | Online Zoom
Monday, DEC 30 :: 3-4 pm EST**
You are invited to join me at this important time to play the drum, shimmer your systrum and ring your cymbals!
Awaken the Goddess and invoke Her blessings of love and light🕯️
PEACE ☮️, liberation and justice for all. ✨sššt sššt sššt✨
One-hour ONLINE program in which you will
💜 DISCOVER the relevance of these hand-held percussion instruments in Ancient Egypt
💜 LEARN how they can be used as sacred instruments today
💜 PLAY a simple rhythm pattern
💜 PARTICIPATE in a co-creative experience
Learn about the Systrum, an ancient Egyptian hand-held percussion instrument with cymbals that slide on transverse bars creating a shimmering jingle when shaken, a predecessor to the tambourine often played along with the frame drum.
The systrum was played in combination with the frame drum in temple ceremony and community processions. It was also used as a sacred implement in ceremonial ritual, especially associated with the Goddess Hathor*
*whose many epithets included Nourisher of the Fields, Sovereign of the Stars, Mistress of Music & Dance

Make acquaintance with persons all around our spinning galactic dance floor as Hathor is making Her presence known; we are a connected network across the planet being beckoned by the Goddess to be “Light in the world” which reminds me of a few words from a Hymn to Hathor in Normandi Ellis’ book “Awakening Osiris: The Spiritual Keys to the Egyptian Book of the Dead” ~
Go then and make of the world something beautiful, set up a light in the darkness.

Monday, DEC 30 :: 3-4 pm EST**

In stressful times, it is important to take care of our well-being to remain calm, clear and strong through the madness. Awaken the centuries-old traditions of women’s rituals encoded in your DNA. Tahya invites you to participate in a powerful holistic mind-body practice that uplifts your mood, increases your energy, improves balance, posture and flexibility & fortifies the very core of your being. All levels welcome; however, no previous experience necessary.
This class utilizes the Tahya Technique vocabulary of movement, putting together combinations to great music & exploring playing finger cymbals (aka Zills) ~ learn the thrill of the zill*
