WORKSHOPS AND CEREMONIES
In his workshops and concerts, Blue Spruce Standing Deer helps others experience the beauty and healing power of the drum. Each person has the opportunity to drum with him, within the circle of the drum. Participants not only enjoy drumming with Standing Deer, they feel the joy of drumming in unison with several other people, while providing the heartbeat rhythym for the dancers. Drummings usually end with a friendship or Round Dance.
Standing Deer's deep immersion in his traditional culture, where music, art and spirituality are not separate from life, but the every day expression of joy, reverence and gratitude to the source of everything, lends a profound but joyous presence to his workshops, and ceremonies.
PRIVATE SESSIONS with Standing Deer (Pba-Quen-Nee-e)
Pba-Quen-Nee-e does intuitive counseling guided by the Spirits that carry his medicine. He has the ability to hear beneath the words that people speak to him, to get to the real heart of an issue. When deemed appropriate and necessary, he also uses hands-on massage techniques given to him by his father, a Tiwa medicine man, to help unblock physical and emotional issues. He uses the drum and his songs to guide the healing process. Pba-Quen-Nee-e's gentle but direct approach, helps the person to see what has been hidden from them, and to let go and move past old blockages.
