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.

Learn & explore this ancient way of accessing your intuition & innate resources for insight and personal growth. Together we'll practice the steps for setting our intention and entering the shamanic state of consciousness (theta brain waves). By following the heartbeat of the drum - as people have for millennia - we journey to connect with our gifts.
Journeying is an excellent way to strengthen the power of your intuition. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Our families, community, and the Earth Mother need our elevated consciousness.

- Autumn "Bear Medicine" Healing RetreatLancaster, Pennsylvania, Lancaster, PA$350.00
Nurturing ourselves, learning & honoring our boundaries and those of others - these are part of the teachings of Mother Bear, a Great Healer. Together we will journey deep inside of ourselves for insight – to remember what we already know (but may have forgotten along the way of life), and we'll take what we learn out into the world to manifest healing and empowerment.
This retreat for personal growth & healing will include sound healing, guided meditation, ancient sacred chants, shamanic journey, meditative drumming, and sacred Earth dance. No previous experience or knowledge are needed.
All are welcome. This can be an entryway into your experience of the beautiful Medicine Wheel tradition, a gateway to further study into the four-quadrant apprenticeship program, or this can be a stand-alone healing weekend completely for your rejuvenation.
Location, Schedule, and Energy Exchange:
We will circle from 10 am - 5 pm EDT on Saturday, September 20, and
