One Drum welcomes readers to unite in ceremony to heal themselves and bring harmony to their lives and communities. In One Drum, Wagamese wrote, 'I am not a shaman. Nor am I an elder, a pipe carrier, or a celebrated traditionalist. I am merely one who has trudged the same path many of this human family has--the path of the seeker, called forward by a yearning I have not always understood.' One Drum draws from the foundational teachings of Ojibway tradition, the Grandfather Teachings. Focusing specifically on the lessons of humility, respect and courage, the volume contains simple ceremonies that anyone anywhere can do, alone or in a group, to foster harmony and connection. Wagamese believed that there is a shaman in each of us, and we are all teachers and in the world of the spirit there is no right way or wrong way. Writing of neglect, abuse and loss of identity, Wagamese recalled living on the street, going to jail, drinking too much, feeling rootless and afraid, and then the feeling of hope he gained from connecting with the spiritual ways of his people. He expressed the belief that ceremony has the power to unify and to heal for people of all backgrounds. 'When that happens,' he wrote, 'we truly become one song and one drum beating together in a common purpose--and we are on the path to being healed.'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Rites and ceremonies $z Canada. 650 0 $a Ojibwa philosophy. 650 0 $a Healing. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wagamese, Richard. $t One drum. $d Madeira Park, British Columbia : Douglas & McIntyre, 2019 $z 9781771622301 $z 9781771622301 $w (OCoLC)1110621133 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023241.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8771B62471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
