Community 

Heather values and participates extensively within a number of communities. Her primary interest is in sharing shamanic teachings from the earth. She takes Shamanic Wisdom Walks along local beaches and under the Moon, connecting people with nature and natural cycles, and the path of The Sacred. 

Heather has also travelled to several remote community gatherings in southwestern NSW and central Queensland to share her earth teachings to hundreds of people. She has enjoyed delivering a powerful message  - "It is time for us all to live consciously and confidently, stepping up to meet your dreams, keeping an open and resilient heart, in love and gratitude always".
                         
Heather has offered her services to community in one way or another for twenty years, and her passion for community involvement has no doubt been influenced by her parents while growing up in a bush community. Heather grew up understanding how important it is to assist and be a part of local community.

Early Days - History 

History of Community Service
Always involved in her children's school and local community, Heather's first major community project was for Youthweek facilitating art lessons and the making of banners with an indigenous artist and over 700 local children from district school in Goondiwindi, in south west Queensland, Australia. This was followed soon after by a joint project with 6 other surrounding artists and fellow students of Flying Arts School to educate local community in installation art. She also ran a number of minor art projects with a local indigenous artist, and using her own artistic skills. 

Soon after moving to the city in 1996, Heather began to find ways to share her combined gifts of art and creative communication and was artist in resident for a program designed to assist children at risk. Heather travelled to a number of schools over the next three years, sharing her artistic gifts as a means of communicating with challenged children.  Heather, and the teams she worked with, won a number of educational awards for the ground-breaking work project they facilitated. 



While undertaking studies in social science, Heather sought out field work at the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Healing centre in Woolloongaba, in Brisbane. There, she began to make connections with local indigenous folk, and began to feel at home in the city as she connected with people who understand her passion for the earth and her creatures, and the shamanic way. She has lead healing circles and mediation groups in her local communities since 2004. 

 

Corporate and Community in Partnership 

 

Since 2008, Heather has held hundreds of small and large shamanic circles for the communities she lives and works in, throughout Australia and in New Zealand.  Her mission is to 'wake-up' as many people as she can into Community Consciousness and the ease and grace of life when living confidently, with clear vision and direction. She has been able to fund this through her corporate work.
