Create a Medicine Wheel Drum in a Sacred Way
A two-day drum birthing retreat with Cyndy Paige.
A drum is a powerful tool for honoring Spirit, healing, clearing and generating energy. Do you long to be part of a sacred circle of like-minded souls who bring their hearts together in an ancient way to create, play, eat, dance, laugh, share and support each other?
During this non-residential retreat weekend, we use journeying and dreaming to help you develop 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 walk its path on the Earth. Is it a personal medicine tool, a community tool, or a healing tool? In birthing your drum, you may experience a deep transformation and an initiatory integration of your personal power. Cyndy and Spirit will guide you through every simple step.
The Animal Beings and the Cedar that become the sacred energy of your drum are honored throughout. The power of the eight-pointed star lacing, and its connection with the Medicine Wheel of Life, is revealed during our time together. Read the story of the Medicine Wheel Drum.

Cyndy “Snake Dancer” Paige
Cyndy “Snake Dancer” Paige received her name from Great Spirit in a profound vision quest, and knew it was a call to a healing path. Snake is regarded as a healer and teacher in spiritual traditions throughout the world, and holds a special place in the Native American medicine tradition.
Cyndy is of Muscogee Creek and Choctaw heritage and is a long-time Council member of the Buffalo Trace Society, founded by the late Grandmother Pathweaver. Over three decades she has completed multi-year initiatory apprenticeships with many medicine teachers, a master drummer, a Grammy-nominated sound healer, a pioneer in past life regression, and numerous healers.
She founded Rhythm of the Earth in 2013 to share healing and earth-based spirituality through her private healing practice, one- and two-year shamanic apprenticeships, vision quests, solstice and equinox retreats, and workshops. She is a guest speaker at conferences and independent schools, and she creates – and helps others create – personal medicine tools such as drums, rattles and medicine bags. She humbly honors her teachers, both seen and unseen.
