With her wisdom and deep knowledge of mindfulness practices and her nurturing approach, she creates a safe, supportive space where participants can truly reconnect with themselves. Heather’s retreats are transformative, providing a unique opportunity for clients and students to cultivate inner peace, emotional healing, and greater self-awareness. Many have shared that her guidance has led to real, life-changing experiences, helping them to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Silent retreats have a profound impact on people’s mindfulness practice and overall well-being. By offering a rare opportunity to step away from the distractions and demands of daily life, these retreats allow individuals to deepen their meditation practice, cultivate self-compassion, and develop a heightened sense of presence. The silence creates a space for introspection, allowing participants to process emotions, release stress, and gain clarity in their lives. As a result, many report increased emotional resilience, improved mental clarity, and a stronger sense of inner peace.



A silent retreat is a unique and transformative experience where participants immerse themselves in a period of silence, often for several days, to focus fully on their inner experience. The retreat typically includes a combination of guided meditation, mindfulness practices, mindful eating, lectures and Dharma presentations, and periods of solitude.

There are no distractions, such as phones or social media, and minimal conversation, allowing for deep self-reflection and a heightened sense of awareness. The silence encourages participants to listen to their inner thoughts and emotions, fostering a profound connection with themselves and cultivating mindfulness in every moment.
