What we’re about
Cyndy Paige, owner of Rhythm of the Earth, is a long-time student of Sun Bear's Chippewa Medicine Wheel, and she uses the teachings of the wheel to inspire the circles to create a connection between heart, soul and the natural world. The Earth Mother and the plants and animals we share her with have much to teach us!
"The entire experience of the Sacred Circle is of course...healing. The drum rhythms I teach are ancient, mostly slow, meditative and deeply transformative (the heartbeat for instance). They feel of course, quite shamanic because we connect with the energies of the earth...the animals...the elements...the trees...the stones...the heart of the Earth Mother. We also connect with whatever each circle member’s experience of the divine is...whatever name, feeling, system or belief. Even though I teach from a Native American foundation, it matters not what or who (divine energy) you bring to the circle...all are honored. At the core...the experience of the Rhythms, Dances, Sounds, and Energy of the circle, are deeply Spiritual, and of course a feeling of Unity, Peace and Balance is possible. The space in the center of a lovingly created sound cannot help but heal and expand our hearts. Absolutely no experience is needed, and if you don’t have a frame drum, one will be provided."
Cyndy Snake Dancer Paige received the name “Snake Dancer” from Spirit in a profound Vision Quest experience. She is a Council member of the Buffalo Trace Society. She is a traditionally trained Shamanic Sound Healer and Sacred Drum and Rattle Maker who has extensively studied Earth honoring traditions, in initiatory type apprenticeships, with indigenous elders.

Be Well,
Cyndy - Learning from the Trickster - Medicine Wheel Summer StudyLink visible for attendees$300.00
Coyote is thought to be the Trickster in Native American tradition. She teaches us to lighten up and laugh at ourselves, to lean into our emotions and passions, to honor the transformation of fire, and to journey deep inside of ourselves – to remember what we already know.
Through teachers in the natural world, we gain insights into our ourselves and our lives. In this 6-session committed series, we'll learn from and practice with the animal, plant, and mineral teachers of the summer quadrant of the Medicine Wheel. In the summer, we bring attention to Growth and our capacities for Trust & Love.
In this practice, we create a safe space together where we may share our life experiences, celebrations, and journeys - and we support each other in understanding and taking action in our lives. We will have ceremonies, sound healing, sacred chants, group drumming, and story-telling.
Prior to experiencing your first quadrant of the wheel, you are invited to complete Self-Healing through Shamanic Journey. This course will prepare you to use the shamanic journey process for self-empowerment throughout your life.
