This private event for the Cielo community, during a New Moon, will be one to remember!
In this one-day, limited seating event, you will give life to your drum in the spirit of intention and purpose – to assist in your personal and/or professional journey. An ancestral altar will anchor the space and (non-plant) ceremony.
Join Jess and your Cielo family on this day of Connection! Share integration stories, learn new knots, and let your creativity & playfulness shine.
Who: YOU, friends, family, children (under 12 with parental supervision)
Where: South Denver, CO (around Hampden & Federal)
When: Saturday, Aug 23, 2025; 10am to 4pm – potluck dinner afterwards
On August 23, 2025, the moon will be in the New Moon phase. This is the third New Moon of the season, sometimes referred to as a “Black Moon”.
Our guide on this journey is Denver-based Michael Heartsong Cutter. He has been working with shamans from around the world and has dedicated his life to learning the indigenous healing way. He has extensive experience making drums and holding drum-making events – which has included members of the Cielo Community!
