We Are Back On Track! 2023 Will Be An Epic Year

5 Element Drumming – Rhythms and Ritual
Coming In 2023

This is one of the most fun and rewarding weekends you will have in your life! We will be exploring two powerful tools – 5 Element Drumming and Shamanic Journey, personal and community rituals and how to use these tools to better your life and build clarity and power!  (no prior experience necessary)!

Toby Christensen’s 5 Element Drumming has been developed through years of study with tribal leaders and elders from the Dagara tribe of West Africa. Since 1991 Toby has worked with Dagara Elder Malidoma Some` in translating tribal wisdom and tradition into Western language so people in the West can receive the healing wisdom of Africa. This workshop is life-changing.

Drumming is the language of the soul. This non-verbal communication decodes the confusion of our minds and speaks directly to your heart, bringing transformation to your life on many levels. Toby has translated the challenging polyrhythms of traditional African drumming into an easy-to-learn series of rhythms that help you: Enhance Motivation; Increase Clarity; Help you find Purpose; Find Peace; Experience Nurturing, and Transform your life!

Ritual is the expression of gratitude and welcoming assistance from the other world. According to the world-famous anthropologist Michael Harner “The power of the shaman is in direct proportion to the relationships they build in the spirit world”. In our days together you will learn the skill of safely establishing and enhancing these relationships. These tools are very helpful for anyone, especially if you are a healing practitioner.

As you learn to maneuver in the world of the shaman your light gets brighter and the distractions of the ordinary world affect you less and less. Learning these skills can be a game-changer to boost your confidence, amp up the efficacy of your work and the quality of your life.

Mt. Shasta CA – Release Your Sh*t & Claim Your Power 2023

Short Story:

“You have a very important job to do!” These were the words of an African elder to me after a conversation we had about how shitty I felt about myself.

It was surprising because I felt completely detached from any sense of purpose. I felt alone in the world, I had lost my confidence and felt like I was holding on by my fingernails. Like the cat on the “Hang In There, Baby” poster!

After a series of practices that helped me release wounds of the past, eliminate grief, and acknowledge that I had made some bad choices and needed to forgive myself, things started to change. Before I knew it, my life had meaning, I regained a sense of purpose and I was moving in the right direction.

Release Your Shit & Reclaim Your Power consists of a small group, 4 people to be exact that are ready to break through to realize their greatness!

Here’s How It Works:

Step #1

“A problem can’t be solved with the same energy it was created with.” ~ Einstein

We start each morning with Active Imagination Meditation Practice. This will help to shift our energy to a resourceful state.

Don’t worry if you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ll teach you all you need to know.

This practice will focus on your intention and help you start the process of seeing yourself in your transformed form.

Step #2

“Movement is the medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental state.” ~ Carol Welch

Next, we move.

Each morning we will go on a hike to a sacred site.

These places will activate your mind, body & spirit to align with the meditation work we do.

Step #3

“We enter ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.” ~ Malidoma Some`

Each day we will perform a ritual to release the things that are distracting us from our purpose or binding us to a path of misfortune or dis-ease.  Then we will activate the path to realize our greatness and receive our personal power.

The rituals will be determined by the needs of the group.

We will also participate in drumming and other healing activities as the need arises.

This kind of adventure cannot be too heavily structured. Each person will come with needs and become aware of needs as we progress.

Step#4

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did…EXPLORE, DREAM, DISCOVER ~ Mark Twain

Optional: We Follow Up With 8 Weeks Of Coaching

Every 2 weeks for 8 weeks after the retreat each participant will receive a 1 hour one on one support coaching session so you can keep the transformation happening as you re-enter life!

Are you ready for an epic transformation?

Ready to get rid of the shit that is holding you back?

Are you ready to own your power?

 Here are some comments from participants of Toby’s work:

“My session with you was truly phenomenal! Truly an experience that has touched my very soul so profoundly”.

“Words do not do justice as to how the drum connected with every fiber of my being. For the very first time in a long time, I feel like I’m alive again!”

“Hello Toby, thank you!  I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated what a fantastic experience your drumming concert was. It exceeded all expectations on all levels. I think it might’ve been one of the first times I’ve attended something that delivered exactly what was promised and beyond. It became evident immediately that you are a unique, authentic and special master healer with the lifelong experience that qualifies you well to do very powerful transformational work. I’m really glad that I decided to attend. Thank you for sharing.”
