Over the course of the last four years, Pearl has been learning about Native American Lifeways and Spirituality from Grandfather Rick McBride. After 25 years of studying meditation, different approaches to healing, angels and spirituality, Pearl says that it feels as if a door to a whole new, but in fact very ancient, world has opened and provided a gateway to an understanding of many familiar metaphysical concepts at a significantly deeper level. Pearl took the "Teachings of the Medicine Wheel" workshop twice and achieved many breakthroughs on personal issues as a result. Pearl has invited Grandfather Rick to lead a number of different events so that many more people can take the opportunity to learn and grow through his teaching.

Grandfather Rick is a mixed blood Tsalagi who has been a life-long student of American Indian Lifeways, actively participating in Native American ceremony for some 25 years. He is a sundancer and traditionally trained and authorized inipi (sweat lodge) leader with deep experience. Rick was passed the Spirit name, Cante Lute, in ceremony at sundance. It is pronounced Chan-tay Lou-tuh, is Lakota and means "Red Heart." In Tsalagi it is Adanvdo Gigagei. 

Rick sees his place as that of "translator" of the Lifeways to help those sincerely interested in becoming a better human being. He was formally taught advanced principles of the Medicine Wheel by Cheyenne Elder Hyemeyohsts Storm in 1994. For more information, visit his website: www.mxdblood.com
