Janee from the January 2025 Deer drum making workshop at Healing With Spirit

The drum is the primal heartbeat of our Mother Earth.

It is your primal heartbeat.

It is the first instrument used by humankind.

A steady drum beat synchronizes the pulse, the blood, lymph, and all life flow, not only in human biology but in all life throughout the cosmos.

About Your Facilitator:

Janee from the January 2025 workshop at Healing With Spirit

I am JaneE King, founder of Medicine Drum LLC. I have facilitated Medicine Drum drum-building workshops throughout the country since 1997.

A retired corporate accountant by profession, I was guided to the International Herb Symposium in 1993 in search of natural remedies for my health concerns at that time. Drumming, dancing, under the stars, herbalists decked out in their regalia, this was a dramatic life-changing culture shock to a conservative accountant like me. In fact an intense ( a long story for another time) dimension shift, a reality wake-up call occurred driving me to seek out my first frame drum.

Using that first drum as a model, my former partner, Richard King, gathered the drum parts and materials to create our first Medicine Drum. At that time all our drums were made with cow skins and imitation sinew lacing. Our first drum-building workshop was in our garage with friends and family participating.

Janee from the January 2025 Deer drum making workshop at Healing With Spirit

That was a magical winter Saturday where Mama Gaia confirmed our new venture by beginning the day with cold, snow that turned to rain, then the clouds churned with thunder and lightning only to have the day end with warm breeze and brilliant bright sunshine as the clouds parted in the sunset. A day emblazoned on my memory banks, February 27, 1997.

Richard and I have gone our separate ways. My passion for drums, drumming, and teaching drum building ramped up. While Richard had lost interest I expanded my passions to add deer skins to our previous monotone mix of only cow.

Today it is the animals, deer, elk, buffalo, horse, and bear that drive me to offer these deep-dive immersions into building your own sacred Medicine Drum. Offering two-legged souls, humans, the opportunity to foster and create a mutually respectful relationship with these animals by ceremonially rebirthing them, giving them a new voice in the voice of their Medicine Drum, feeds my soul. It is my small way of bringing oneness and peace to our planet.

My Healing Medicine Drum Circles also are now in demand inviting, allowing our Medicine Drums to play us with their living animal medicine vibes.

Janee from the January 2025 deer drum making workshop at Healing with Spirit

I am also a Certified Brennan Healer, a certified Hypnotist, an Ordained Minister, an earth ceremonialist, and an educator with over 25 years of experience teaching and practicing laying-on-of-hands healing. Melding all these parts into the sanctity of a healing session, when the client is ready, miraculous life-affirming positive changes occur.

My transformative “Way of being with” you can shift your vibe and assist in the awakening of your “inner Healer”, the only true healer. I offer private individualized healing sessions tailored to your uniqueness. Potentially metamorphic. My tools include drum, rattle, crystals, trance, singing bowl, human voice, and many other esoteric tools as called upon by your Being.

From career Accountant to Energy Medicine Professional to Animal Medicine Drum advocate, I humbly, modestly follow where my Soul leads as I continue to mine for my Soul’s gold within and in so doing catalyze others to do the same.

Life Alive Drum Circle with Jason Karol

‘Life Alive – Drum Circle’ will celebrate expressing Spirit through the human body with the Universal language that is music and movement. 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.


The first ‘Life Alive’ was held on 1/26/24.

’Life Alive’ will continue to be held every fourth Friday of each month.  Please arrive a little before 7:00 if possible to get settled in for our opening meditation.

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.

with Registration: $15
Walkins: $25 if NOT sold out.

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.

 

Jikiden Reiki® Seminar in Shoden (Level I)

Are you looking for ways to improve your quality of life, reduce stress and anxiety, remove toxicity from the body, and guide it toward wholeness?

The traditional standard treatment in our American healthcare system rarely looks at the “root cause” of our symptoms and treats only the symptoms. Therefore, we rarely address and heal the underlying cause. Left untreated, it can manifest into illness.

Our bodies are designed and fully equipped to heal themselves. Reiki taps into those innate abilities.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a simple form of energy healing from Japan known as “Shinshin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho”, which translates as “Usui treatment for the improvement of body and mind”.

Reiki supports the whole person physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually while drilling down on specific issues. Jikiden Reiki® sessions focus on removing toxins from the body and guiding it toward wholeness.

Jikiden Reiki® is the “direct teaching” of Reiki presented with credibility and clarity from authentic Japanese lineage.

This lineage goes from Dr. Hayashi to Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi, Tadao’s (current President of Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai) mother, who learned Reiki in 1938. Because this lineage has not gone through Mrs. Takata, it lacks the Westernization of Reiki.

Learning reiki is easy and can be used in a home or clinical setting to enhance the health and emotional wellness of both self and others. It is also complementary to all other alternative or traditional medical treatments and is non-invasive.

In these classes (called seminars), you will experience Reiki in its original beauty and simplicity as it was taught in Japan before it was brought to the West in the 1930’s. Because Jikiden Reiki is free from Western influence, it differs from the “Western” style of Reiki in approach, attitude, and ideas. Its roots go back almost to the discovery of Reiki itself.

Who should take a Jikiden Reiki® Class?

Jikiden Reiki® is for anyone interested in learning Reiki and for current practitioners who wish to deepen their practice & understanding.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Anyone interested in learning Reiki
  • Mothers looking for ways to reduce medication usage and visits to the pediatrician’s office every time their child gets sick
  • Caregivers constantly fighting the fight looking for a better way to care for their loved ones
  • Anyone looking for ways to minimize the need for medications or medical procedures
  • Anyone looking for ways to improve your quality of life, reduce stress and anxiety, remove toxicity from the body, and reduce the over-reliance on medication and overuse of medical procedures.
  • Clergy
  • Hospice workers & volunteers
  • Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, massage therapists, mental health workers, addiction counselors, etc., are looking to incorporate a more integrative and holistic approach into their scope of practice.
  • School teachers, administrators, and aides
  • Those in addiction recovery.
  • Advocates – domestic violence, social justice, health, hospice, anti-racism, etc.
  • Trauma survivors such as medical trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault
Jikiden Reiki teachers, Rae, Ann, and Laura at Mt Kurama in Japan October 2024

What you will discover:

  • It is unique – A Japanese Reiki with NO Western ties.
  • It is much more than a relaxing therapy
  • A deep Jikiden Reiki® practice with a history of success with chronic illness as well as to address deep-rooted beliefs, habits, traumas, and addictions.
  • A proven approach that is safe and effective
  • An effective treatment option for alleviating pain, pre-op and post-op surgery recovery, anxiety, skin conditions, and post-traumatic stress.
  • A simple, non-religious therapeutic treatment that works
  • Includes ideas and methods not previously taught in the West
  • Learn first-aid therapies for minor cuts, bruises, and burns.

Certification is through the Jikiden Reiki® Kenkyukai (Institute) in Kyoto, Japan.  Certificates in Japanese are sent directly from the Institute in Kyoto, Japan.
