Here’s What They Are Saying About Toby

On his recent US tour HealingDrummer Toby Christensen taught courses on Shamanism and Sound Healing. He continues his practice as a practitioner as well. Because of his dynamic private sessions Toby’s gift as a teacher is not always acknowledged. Here is what Dr. Johnson had to say

Endorsement: Toby Christensen is so much more then a practitioner, and he is more than a brilliant “teacher”, in sharing his gifts – he introduces you to your own! I took my first workshop with Toby not knowing what to expect. After all, while I have known and appreciated him as a very talented drummer, I had no idea of his depth and clarity within Spiritual realms. What a joy to experience his insights, patience and practical application to the world of Spirit! I learned so much during this first class – techniques I use to this day -, that I look forward to and take his workshops every time he comes to town.

and others said… First of all “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you” from every fibre of my soul ~ for yesterday and everything else! I seriously can’t express how blessed I feel… to have the opportunity to meet both of you and be involved in your lives (albeit a small part, with all the people you know and the things that you do) it’s amazing to be a part of it and I’m excited to learn from you! You make it all so comfortable, safe and genuine… “THANK YOU!”

Master Tobias
I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I just read your Newsletter – so pure and honest and inspiring, I just wanted to let you know what a great job I think you’re doing living the teachings, being a role model, not up on a pedestal, but truly being with people in the struggle and in the ascent. I find it rare the people that can do both without littering the place with their crap. Ok, that sounded bad, but you know what I mean… and you have struck the balance, My Friend. I bow to your mastery.
Hope I get to see more of you in 2009.
Love & Light

And in Canada, this is what one person wrote after their session with Toby

okay, that was very, very WOW!

thanks!

It is great to hear from so many people being touched deeply by the HealingDrum. As Toby brings his gift to the world in a bigger way we know that he is held in the blessings of those who have been touched by his work. I know he is grateful for these kind words and we at HealingDrummer and TobyChristensen.comare too!

It was a great pleasure to meet a new group of people from Calgary Canada. On my trip to Calgary I hosted an event for the Calgary Food Bank. Everywhere I travel, I like to give back to the community. So I donated this evening to the food bank. Here is a brief video of the opening guided meditation.

Watching the Seasons Change

As summer fades and the coolness of fall encroached on our warm sunny days I review the blog entries from Hawaii and it seems like a long time ago and yesterday simultaneously. I have been back on the road and am so pleased at the way things are developing around the country.

The release of World Unity has really created a stir and has opened doors for us to be involved in an international program to promote peaceful and powerful leaders from the youth of our planet. UNITY is the key. I was facilitating with Dr. Shelly Stelzer. As we were merging healing techniques from various cultures someone in the class asked about mixing modalities from different races of people and cultures.

I thought her response was profound. “There is only one race and that is the human race. There is only one true color an that is red, it is the color of the blood that runs through the veins of each and every person on the planet.” In my work with cross-cultural organizations I remember this as we begin to discuss the events in the world. We must think and act globally. The issues we face are not confined to only one race or nation. I love the words of a Michael Franti song:

Please tell me the reason for the colors that you fly. Love just one nation and the whole world we divide. We can chase sown all our enemies, bring them to their knees. We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can’t bomb it into peace.

My intention for the remainder of the year and 2009 is to bring the healing drum to as many countries as possible and drum in unity with as many tribal and cultural people as I can.

At the World Unity CD release party in Cincinnati I was blessed to have a great jam session with a cool cat from Nigeria. Another awesome synchronicity that has happened is a connection to a great ritual master and shaman of plant spirit medicine. His name is Fabaku and he is guiding me into some powerful indigenous teaching and the use of powerful medicine from Africa, South America and Mexico. As the world unifies to bring healing to the planet our own personal lives become richer as well.

I am very excited as well to be working with Flaco, a powerful brother from DC who is mentoring youth and guiding them through powerful initiations and rites of passage. We were fortunate to have him at an event I facilitated in Alexandria Virginia. As you can imagine, the drumming was fierce!!! Thank you my brother for blessing us all with your magic!!!

Here Flaco and I get ready to rock a group in Alexandria VA.

I am off to Canada next and am looking forward to connecting with our neighbors to the north, spreading the power and unity of the drum with all I meet. Stay tuned for a report from Calgary.

Peace and Blessings to you all!
