Where the hearth lives now...
Hearth of the Heart has been changing from the inside. When Hearth of the Heart first came into being, I imagined and co-created the spirit of the hearth as a kind of placeholder and container, a gathering space in person or online where people could come to warm themselves, be seen, heard, learn, and grow. It served as a home for the work for a time, and it asked for a great deal of presence, devotion, and attention to keep the hearth fires burning.
Over time, something shifted. My helping spirits (Grandfather Fire & Death especially) encouraged me to flow with this shift. That said, as any fire tender knows, your heart becomes intimately connected to the fires that you tend, so the idea of closing the hearth was something that took me a while to come around to. Day by day, class by class, client by client, it became clearer... Rather than tending my practice primarily as a held place for people to gather, I found myself being called internally and externally toward the fire that already exists within each person and toward naming what is truly at the heart of my work. And then the understanding landed! The listening, the healing, the remembering, and the relationship with spirit and the unseen world were never meant to live only in the hearth. They live within us. 🔥
Spirit Wisdom is the name that now holds my practice. It speaks to the wisdom that lives within you, the trusted spirits who guide my work, and to the wealth of guidance available through relationship with the spirit world and the natural world. It invites you to remember your true nature, to engage with healing and challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation, and the honors the spirit that exists within all of life. My new domain myspiritwisdom.com reflects this intention. It points not outward, but back toward what is already ours.
Hearth of the Heart connected me with many wonderful clients who came seeking healing support during times of transition, confusion, or loss. Over time, those relationships naturally deepened. Alongside healing work, there emerged a desire to strengthen intuition, reconnect with spiritual gifts, and learn how to listen for and trust one’s own inner guidance. Supporting that remembering has become an increasingly important part of my work, and this is where some of the focus is now shifting.
My classes, circles, and mentorship have always been about supporting clients and students in learning how to listen to your own soul, how to be in relationship with your helping spirits and the living world, and how to trust your intuitive gifts and knowing. Healing here is not about fixing or saving anyone, but about restoring relationship within yourself, and with the wider field of life you belong to.
The offerings themselves are not changing in essence. I will continue to offer one-on-one sessions, readings, classes, circles, and mentorship rooted in animistic and shamanic ways of working. What is changing is the clarity of focus. You can now find my practice at www.myspiritwisdom.com, and I can be reached at [email protected]. Please add this email to your contacts to ensure you receive upcoming announcements if you are on the email list.
The contact phone number will remain the same, the Hearth of the Heart website will redirect to the new site and the old email will forward to the new email for another year or so, to ensure there is time for a gentle transition. I will, however, be using the [email protected] email address for communication moving forward.
Ok dear ones! I'm so excited for what is to come! Thank you for your trust, for your presence here, and for the ways you continue to listen and remember. I’m grateful to remain in relationship as this next chapter unfolds.
With warmth & love,
Heather & Spirit Team
