About us
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.

Medicine Wheel Drum Birthing
Lancaster, Lancaster, PA, USA, PA, USYour drum is a powerful tool for honoring Spirit, as well as healing, clearing, and generating energy. During this non-residential retreat weekend, we will journey together to assist you in developing a deep relationship with the drum you are birthing. You will journey to the heart of your new drum and ask how it wishes to manifest its walk on Earth Mother.
We will honor the Animal Beings and Cedar that become the sacred energy of your drum. The power of the symbol created by the lacing pattern (an 8-pointed star), and its connection with the Medicine Wheel of Life, will be revealed during our time. It is possible to experience a deep transformation and an initiatory-type integration of your personal power. Cyndy and Spirit will guide you through all of the simple techniques of creating your drum.
ENERGY EXCHANGE: $488.00, which includes all materials to make a round 16" Sacred Medicine Wheel Drum with a Horse or Cow skin for the drum head, stretched over a Canadian Cedar frame, and a beautiful custom beater that is used to sound the drum.

A $200.00 deposit holds your space and is due immediately. To provide a deposit, click on the link below, and then immediately email me so that we can discuss drum specifics including size and skin.

A Day of Sacred Crafting
Newark, Newark, DE, USA, DE, USJoin us to create Sacred Medicine Tools as a community. We will do ceremony, vision our projects, create our strategies for success, laugh, eat, and celebrate the beauty that unfolds from our hands and hearts.
Bring your unfinished drum or rattle, or whatever else is lying around, and we will finish them together. Some folks want to make rattles but be aware that this process requires 2 separate days. If you want to start a rattle, call me and let me know what shape of rawhide to soak for you (Bear, Buffalo, Wolf Howling at the Moon, Butterfly, Heart, Arrow, Eternal Flame, Full Moon, Crescent Moon). Also, bring your calendar and we will pick the second day to finish your rattle.
I will guide you as much or as little as you need. I have plenty of tools, lacing, beads, and feathers to create with or to add those finishing touches to your current Medicine Tool.
Join us as we honor our sacred tools, and our visions.
Some project ideas:
- Start your rattle (this takes 2 crafting days)
- Cover the handhold of your drum with soft leather or fur
- Decorate your drum beater with leather and/or fur, or create a new one
- Create a feather drop for your drum or rattle
- Create a feather smudge plume
- Create a leather medicine bagRegistration: Click the link below to provide your energy exchange of $99 to cover time & materials (Note that some materials/upgrades are available for an additional exchange) AND
