Life Alive – Drum Circle with Jason Karol

We will open and close the drum circle with a guided meditation which will include sage, unison drumming, and toning to center and align our energies. In between will be a freestyle drum circle. Anyone can start a rhythm, the group will improvise around that rhythm until it naturally concludes, and then a new rhythm can arise.

All skill levels are welcome, this drum circle is open to total beginners and experienced drummers alike. It is also not just open to drummers!

Dancers! During the freestyle portion, being conscious of the space you are in and those around you, feel free to get up and move! Shake, dance, stretch, flow… feel free to move to the rhythm and express through your movement.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before 7:00 if possible, to get settled in for our opening meditation. ’Life Alive’ will continue on the fourth Friday of each month.

There will be a limited number of drums and percussion items available for borrowing at the circle, but if you have an instrument, please bring yours. There will not be enough for everyone who attends to borrow something.

About Your Facilitator:

Jason A. Karol needs music just as much as food and water. Okay, maybe not just as much but, music has been a prominent part of Jason’s path since day one. Jason’s father is a musician, guitar is his main instrument, and he instilled a love of music in Jason right out of the gate. Through private lessons and school growing up, plus a healthy dose of trial and error self-teaching (then and now), Jason has become proficient in a wide range of musical instruments, disciplines, and styles. Jason loves sharing his passion for music and wants to encourage and inspire people to expand their love of music through his creation and facilitation.

Jason has taught drum lessons for over 15 years. He taught for 8 years at the Holliston School for the Performing Arts in Holliston, MA. He worked as a Senior Store Associate and Lesson Program Coordinator at the Music & Arts store in Newton Centre, MA for 4 years. He currently teaches private lessons in students’ homes. Part of different projects over the years, he currently performs as part of Drum Nomads, Electric Nomads, 52:db, and he created/facilitates the ‘Divine Design – Ecstatic Dance & Sound Bath’ event series at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick, MA. He assists the wonderful DJ Tara Ma with putting on her recurring ecstatic dance event in Lincoln, RI. He also has a passion for and experience with audio/video recording, engineering, editing, and production as well as musical instrument construction, maintenance, and modification.

In addition to music, some of Jason’s interests are: connecting with people and listening to their stories, philosophical conversations, learning about existence/the cosmos/The Universe, film, writing (fiction/non-fiction/poetry), hiking/biking/kayaking, yoga/Tai Chi, various and ever-evolving spiritual practices/disciplines (ask if you want to know more), acting in theater productions… oh yes, and most importantly, endeavouring to give cats the best ear massages ever! Jason would like to thank his cat companion Morgan for all the practice over the years.

About Laura’s Book

Laura’s latest book, The Secrets to Healing, explores the root issues to chronic illness, trauma, and address the elephant in the room on why we in the west are NOT taught these aspects to healing.

About the Author:

Laura testifying before legislation in Massachusetts Summer 2023

Since 2005, Laura has been passionate about using her voice for that change after experiencing a broken system that failed to protect her from domestic abuse.

Over the years, she has spoken on various platforms, radio, and tv on the topic of unhealed trauma and abuse and how to address the broken system and heal root issues through spiritual based therapies.

She has a podcast called Triggers and Spiritual Medicine which debuts a new episode on the 1st Monday monthly. Click here for latest episodes.

In 2022, Laura joined the T.R.A.C. coalition in Massachusetts comprised of organizations, advocates, lawyers, and survivors to help address the growing coercive control and litigation abuse tactics through policy and legislation. This is a volunteer position that requires enormous amount of financial resources, time, energy, and commitment.

In 2023 alone, Laura has testified on 11 of the 70 pending domestic abuse or sexual assault related bills using her story and others she has helped throughout the years to create a safer healthier world for future generations to come.

She also has helped survivors of abuse navigate the family court system and teach them tools and skills to help them reclaim parts of themselves stolen by their abuser.

As a career, Laura is also the founder of Healing With Spirit based in Hingham that offers a variety of meditation classes, spiritual based therapies and wellness events since 2006. She is currently planning a Sacred Pilgrimage to Ireland in 2024 with a small intimate group of seekers.

Why Make A Donation

Laura Testifying on the Coercive Control & Litigation Abuse Bill in Ma Sept 2023

Please consider making a donation to support this work. To date, I have funded this project alone in the last 5 years. Many well-intentioned groups are limited in HOW they can advocate due the grants they receive.

I have utilized publishing a book as an education tool that cost approximately $10k from start to finish including book launch, editors, publishers, etc.

I have started a podcast called Triggers and Spiritual Medicine that I earn NO money from to address the intersectionality of root issues and trauma that costs approximately $100 mo to produce.

The 11 bills I testified on cost me an estimated $5k in lost income due to taking time off from working to prepare, meet with legislators, and take time off NOT including cost of driving in to Boston or other expenses.

I have waited 15 years to see the movement we have going on now with legislators who get it and want to make a difference to organizations who get it and are moving towards these same changes, and with 70 pending domestic violence bills, my story is textbook.

I cannot fix what happened to me, but anyone who knows me and vets me out and tell you how dedicated and consistent I have been since the beginning.

The ONLY thing stopping me from taking this to a larger scale or seeing these bills through to the next phase of getting a bill passed in legislation is strictly financial due to the toll I was hit with this year.

Laura with 2 books she published in 2022 addressing the domestic violence “industry” and her healing journey over 50+ years

I am grateful on one end as I have worked hard for a LONG time, but it also is coming in all at once. This summer put me in a difficult financial position that without donations and financial support, I may not be able to see these bills through or may be forced to turn away folks who need help. I just want my bills paid is all and my ability to go to the Battered Mothers Custody Conference in April 2024. I am not looking for anything more at this time.

I am looking to raise $10k to cover me for the next 6-9mo so I can do this work as it is meant to be done. Please help me make it a reality.

You can donate via Eventbrite or you can donate here via PayPal.

You can also become a Patreon Member for a low as $5 a month to help support this work I am deeply passionate about and the impact I want to make.

I CAN do it with YOUR support.

Open House Celebration + Meet and Greet

Also, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a cause Laura Bonetzky-Joseph is passionate about and has worked towards solutions for over 15years to support survivors, make an impact, and create change.

She is a frequent speaker on the topic, is the host of Triggers and Spiritual Medicine, and author of 2 books on top of her client work with survivors in healing and/or advocacy which to date she has self-funded.

In 2023, Laura testified before legislators on 11 different bills as a survivor, expert, and advocate in 2.5 months that impact survivors of abuse that required her to take enormous amount of time off of work and took on a significant amount of debt and expenses.

Recently, our work also helped a protective mom from being incarcerated by a family court judge in a case involving post separation abuse and litigation abuse. Her story can be followed in instagram or tiktok.

We will also be accepting donations to support our ongoing domestic violence initiatives, programs, legislation and policy work in Massachusetts and Nationally that will continue moving forward in 2024 that will require additional travel and expenses to attend necessary conferences, training on top of what is already mentioned above.

WHY WOMEN NEED CIRCLES

Women’s Retreat with Laura Joseph, Healing With Spirit (c) 2019

Many women can lose sight of themselves in every day demands, pressures, routine and multi-tasking, supporting their partner or children, caring for their homes, juggling a career, paying the bills, etc.

It can be very healing to experience validation and to feel honored by other women, especially in a world where women are often taught to compete with each other, compare bodies and status, be jealous, gossip, judge, etc. Women were conditioned over 500 years to be this way.

We are changing this story, and reclaiming what was taken from us, AND need a safe space to land more than ever before.

Women’s gatherings have been around for thousands of years. Once persecuted for during the burning times of witches, the resurgence of women’s circles is gaining traction.

Monthly Healing & Ceremonial Women’s Circle

Community, Sisterhood, Enrichment, Healing, And A Deep Remembering


Women hold the medicine our world needs. The world needs your creativity, vision, voice like never before.

You are invited to join us for our monthly women’s wisdom & healing circles to gather in community and sisterhood. Celebrate each other. Be seen. Be heard. Be witnessed. Be supported.


WHY WOMEN NEED CIRCLES

Women’s Retreat with Laura Joseph, Healing With Spirit (c) 2019

In today’s society it is easy to lose sight of ourselves in every day demands, pressures, routine and multi-tasking, supporting our partner or children, caring for our homes, juggling a career, paying the bills, etc.

It can be very healing to experience validation and to feel honored by other women, especially in a world where women are often taught to compete with each other, compare bodies and status, be jealous, gossip, judge, etc. Women were conditioned over 500 years to be this way.

We are changing this story, and reclaiming what was taken from us, AND need a safe space to land more than ever before.

Women’s gatherings have been around for thousands of years. Once persecuted for during the burning times of witches, the resurgence of women’s circles is gaining traction.

These circles are designed to allow for sharing, support, and feelings of safety within a non-judgmental nurturing environment supported by two highly skilled facilitators with many decades of experience.


MONTHLY STRUCTURE:

Retreats & Events hosted by Healing With Spirit

These circles fall in alignment of the NEW MOON cycles. Each month, we will meet on the Sunday before or after the NEW MOON which is around the 3rd Sunday of the month. Specific dates are posted.

Each month, we will have a theme surrounding the new moon, but the themes are not set in stone. Like water, the idea is to go with the flow as each woman’s story is heard and honored.

Even though the flow each month may be different depending upon the theme, we will incorporate:

  • circle share time & deep council

  • journey
  • song
  • movement
  • meditation
  • Tibetan singing bowl medicine
  • Ritual & ceremony
  • Experientials geared toward healing, community, self-love, releasing old patterns, clarifying vision.
  • Celebrating and integrating the gifts that are uniquely yours and tapping into your resources.

We will offer light snacks and herbal teas. The community is encouraged to bring something to share as well.


What you will gain:

These circles are designed to provide a safe sacred space to be witnessed, celebrate each other, build connection rooted in community and help you create a deeper awareness and connection to the inner wisdom in a very nurturing environment.

Rediscover & a sacred remembering of the secrets embedded in our DNA codes given to us by our ancestors.
