For millenia, the sky and the heavens have been a source of inspiration and wonder for humanity. When gazing at a star-filled sky, we realize how small we are, while at the same time experiencing ourselves as connected to the vastness of the Universe (Uni-verse=one song or tone.) Many gods and goddesses have been assigned to the sky, and the ancients aligned their sacred monuments with the movements of the stars, sun, and moon. This is because we intuitively know that we have a reciprocal relationship with the Universe. On a practical level, stars have long been navigational guides, the moon affects the tides, the Earth's position in relation to the sun determines our seasons, and the systems of astronomy and astrology continue to evolve.
The Skye Institute draws its inspiration from this ancient Universal connection, to enhance and bless our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the Earth.

The Skye Institute celebrates diversity, and does not discriminate on the basis of anything. We work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all participants in our programs, and expect participants to co-create this atmospere with us by being respectful of others. Nature has shown us that diversity supports a healthy eco-system.

For many years, Eric Lindemer, CMT has been an integral member of the allied health community in New England. In his former profession, he was a dancer with American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. It was during his tenure as a professional dancer that he benefited from receiving massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and Reiki, which sparked his interest in the healing arts. From a very early age, Eric has been drawn to spirituality and healing. As a child he was inspired by the life of Jesus, the pyramids of Egypt, the cathedrals of Europe, and indigenous cultures. His journey has been both an inner and outer one, including trips to meditate in the pyramids and temples of Egypt, sacred sites in Hawaii, and the American Southwest, as well as studying with many healers and teachers.
