The Journey Continues...
Thank you for your interest in The Cardinal Experience!
The Cardinal Experience brings together two ways to continue the journey of Song of the Cardinal—The Cardinal Connection, a guided digital experience, and The Cardinal Collection, a curated physical collection created for comfort, connection and gifting.
The physical Collection and bundled Experience are offered seasonally.
The Cardinal Connection is available now.
Please continue to learn all about it!
Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here, because I have something exciting to share...
Writing and publishing Song of the Cardinal has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve often found myself at my desk, in tears, reading a heartfelt message from someone who was touched by the story.
As those messages came in, a common thread emerged:
“I didn’t want the story to end.”
Honestly? I felt the same way while I was writing it. So much so that even before the final sentence found its way onto the page, I knew there would be a “Second Verse.”
But I also felt that something was asking to be created now… before that next chapter is written.
So I created a place where the story could continue—not only my story, but yours as well.
The Cardinal Connection
Let's keep the story going...by starting a conversation
A guided experience designed to help you explore the deeper themes of Song of the Cardinal—at your own pace, in your own space.
Not with lessons to master or problems to solve, but through thoughtful conversations, quiet reflection, and gentle exploration.
My hope is that you'll discover new ways to move forward—with courage, curiosity, and hope.
The Details...
- Seven sessions in all—an introduction, five core sessions, and a wrap-up
- Core sessions are 60 - 90 minutes
- Thought-provoking conversations, guided reflections, beautiful music, and even a little laughter along the way
- 24/7 on-demand access
- Experience each session at your own pace, in the comfort and privacy of your own home
- A simple, no-risk guarantee—if after the first core session it doesn’t feel right for you, just send an email for a full refund
✨ How you’ll experience this
Each session has been thoughtfully recorded with you in mind—
so that it feels personal, intimate, and present.
It's not a course to complete.
Or a lecture to sit through.
It's more like having a chat over coffee.
✨ Community Connection
Throughout The Cardinal Connection, you'll have the opportunity to participate in the community by sharing reflections, asking questions, and connecting with others traveling this journey. I'll be there too—joining the conversation along the way.
✨ Email Access to Cynthia
As you move through The Cardinal Connection, you’ll have email access to me for questions, observations, or anything you’d like to share about your experience.
✨ One-Hour Conversation with Cynthia
If you choose the Platinum Experience, you’ll also receive an invitation to join me for a private one-hour Zoom conversation. You can ask questions, share your experience, reflect on what surfaced, or explore what may be next. The agenda is entirely up to you.

The Cardinal Connection
A guided experience of connection, reflection, and possibility
Together we'll move gently from acknowledging what's been lost...to discovering what still remains...and what may yet be possible.
At your own pace.
In your own space.
Session 1 - Loss & Grief
We begin by gently acknowledging what has been lost—without minimizing it, fixing it, or rushing past it.
It can be the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, or a dream.
We'll gently discover that acknowledging what's true doesn't amplify grief...it loosens its grip on you.
✨ Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is tell the truth.
Session 2 - Signs & Synchronicities
What if life is speaking to us more often than we realize?
In this session, we'll gently explore the possibility that meaning, beauty, and connection may already be present in ways we've never realized.
Without asking you to believe anything specific, we'll simply open the door to curiosity...and wonder.
✨ The more we notice, the more we discover the miracles and magic of everyday life.
Session 3 - Permission
Grief changes us—but with that change, something often quietly emerges.
In this session, we begin to explore the shift from simply surviving to truly living—not by searching for meaning, but by noticing what has already begun to take shape.
Together, we'll create space to notice what your experience may have revealed...and to give yourself permission to explore new possibilities.
✨ Not in spite of your loss… but because of it.
Session 4 - Creative Curiosity
There are things we carry that words alone can’t always describe.
In this session, we'll gently open the door to expression—not as performance, but as release.
You don't have to be "creative" to participate—just willing to let your heart speak in whatever way feels natural. With each expression, you may discover...
✨ A little more clarity✨ A little more light
✨ A little more you
Session 5 - The Rest of Your Life
At some point, the question becomes:
✨ What now?
In this final session, we gently step into what’s next.
Not with pressure.
Not with expectation.
✨But with intention.
"Each session truly is just like sitting in the room having a nice conversation with you.
A great “continuation” of Song of the Cardinal with a focus on growth and slowly moving forward…. at our own pace."
Linda Rhodes
From Darkness to Light
These five sessions are rooted in the quiet threads that run through Song of the Cardinal.
My hope is that they offer you:
comfort
clarity
and a renewed sense of possibility
…no matter where you are in your journey.
You don’t need to have answers.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
Just come as you are.
We'll take it slowly.
One step at a time.
