Christine’s interest in the old ways of Medicine People led her to study ancient healing practices from around the world, taking her from North America to India to South America. Her passion is to be of service to all people and to facilitate spiritual growth and stewardship of the earth.

Christine draws on over 10 years of teaching as a certified yoga instructor, wilderness guide and artist. She has been a practitioner of energy based medicine and shamanic healing for 5 years. In addition to leading the Medicine Wheel each spring, Christine has a private practice offering transformational therapy based in the expressive arts, ceremonial medicine and wilderness journeying. She also works as a Children’s Counsellor at the Women’s Centre Society in Squamish, BC where she facilitates healing and learning through art and play.  She is currently working on her Masters Degree in Expressive Arts Therapy, graduating in Spring 2009.  She has studios in West Vancouver and Squamish.

Cindy MacDonald- senior assistant for Medicine Wheel 2009

Cindy MacDonald has been working with people for over 10 years. She graduated from SFU with a degree in psychology and forensic archaeology, although happy that she had learned about the psyche of people, their cultures and how people deal with death, she felt there was more for her to learn. In 2005 she trained in Thailand and became a certified Yoga Instructor. Cindy found that working hands on with people and empowering their healing through a moving practice was what she had been looking for. To add to her repertoire in being able to help others, Cindy studied Holistic Nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. During this time, she decided she wanted to work more energetically as she taught yoga so Cindy embarked on the journey of the Medicine Wheel with Christine Selda. Through her profound experiences of self healing in the Wheel and working with the medicine of the Q'ero people, she wanted to deepen her study and assisted on Christine's following Wheel in 2008. Cindy is continuing her apprenticeship in shamanism as the senior assistant in her third medicine wheel with Indigo Bridge. Cindy continues to use what she has learned through her journey to empower people to heal themselves through the modalities of yoga, nutrition and she incorporates the practices of the Medicine Wheel to reconnect people to the universe around them, reminding them that we are all connected and any healing that we do for ourselves is healing for all.
