The bear has completed her long journey to the cave.
This is the moment when her consciousness shifts. She leaves the dimension of earth-based awareness and arrives in the realm of spirit. Traveling alongside her, we are greeted by whispers of ancestors, by the crackling fires of our foremothers huddled in caves for millenia, and by the eerie moans of wandering spirits calling out from the harsh depths of winter cold. Upon entering our hibernation cave, we greet the parts of ourselves we have been out of touch with for some time. There is both celebration and trepidation as we enter the unknown.
“Arrival” is the second piece in a four-part series created by Spiral Muse drummer, singer and songwriter Dionne Kohler. Dionne believes that messages from nature and the spirit world can be channeled through the heartbeat of the drum. The full Bear Medicine Series is available on Youtube, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music and other electronic platforms.
