 Welcome
to the therapy
office
and medicine lodge for Miriam Lieberman, MA, LPC!
The name Drumsong Sanctuary for the Soul came to
me in a dream years ago before building a home and office here. I
knew it was a significant dream and took note immediately. This is
precisely what the land here fosters, the ability to take note of
what is significant and essential in life and build on that. I work
with people to heal what no longer serves them so they can devote
their attention to what they wish to do with their lives. Like the
forest, our lives are often cluttered with dead wood and debris that
needs to be cleared out. |
| We can do
this ceremoniously by choice or we can be taken by storm
with a lightening strike that blazes before us. The land
here serves as a place to learn how to work with nature,
including our own, rather than against it.
Drumsong Sanctuary is located on a wooded ten-acre lot within a 250
acre corridor of minimally developed land. It is a 15 minute stroll
from the Haw River, in the southwest corner of Orange County, North
Carolina. |

It
is a 20 minute drive through the countryside from Chapel
Hill, Hillsborough and Mebane respectively. From Durham
or Pittsboro (depending upon which end and route taken)
it is a thirty or forty minute drive; and just under an
hour from Raleigh.
 I have always felt that reconnecting to nature is an important part
of the healing process for people with our fast paced, over extended
and fragmented lifestyles. For this reason I have maintained a
private office with close proximity to the natural world where we
can tangibly feel our roots, look out the window at the
hummingbirds, gardens in bloom, or fall leaves fluttering by. For
some, the inner work may even take place outside. Children often
benefit from strolls in the woods while working on their issues for
example. Many a bereaved person has found solace, grounding and
support sitting at the base of one of the grand beech trees found on
the land. In this private setting freedom of expression is
encouraged and aided by the non-judgmental spaciousness and comfort
of the natural world. Time seems to be altered when we allow the
beauty of nature to hold us in her healing embrace.
On the land here we have a sweat lodge, women’s moon lodge, medicine
wheel and fire circle for ceremony and drumming.
See Pictures There is a creek
that meanders through the ten acres and walking trails. The
perennial gardens are in their glory through spring and summer
attracting songbirds and butterflies. Deer may cross your path while
approaching, please drive slowly.
Sometimes we hold healing retreats here for people to come together
on the land in ceremony, workshops, and gatherings all pitching in
to create and experience a healing community. This rejuvenation,
fresh perspective, and deep connection is then carried out into our
lives and larger communities.
Feel free to call Miriam Lieberman, MA, LPC for an appointment for
counseling, to request a ceremony, or to attend one of the group
healings or ceremonies here at Drumsong Sanctuary for the Soul.
