The Heron Educational Center for the Human Spirit

The Heron Educational Center for the Human Spirit Fostering sustainability, wellness and creativity among individuals and communities since 2011. The P.O.T.E.G.P. Please talk to us about financial concern.

Spiritual Guidance Center 501 (c) (3) a.k.a The Heron Educational Center for the Human Spirit, helps seekers develop practical tools to connect to oneself and the world. Our mission is to cultivate a balance among nature, community and individuals. We offer an interdisciplinary wellness and retreat space for all ages to explore their innate creativity and reconnect with their authentic Self. Our

space is for you to explore, play and to experience the joy of being. Our programming philosophy is based on the concept that there is no “one size fits all approach to wellness”. The more you connect with your authentic self the more you sense freedom and ease of being. As we ask you to explore and connect with your authentic self we ask the same of ourselves. Each experience within our space is unique to the person offering it. We offer a variety of programs, including wellness services, Yoga Teacher Certifications, Meditation Seminars, creative arts programs, spiritual guidance and nature programs. Our 22 acres in Westport, Massachusetts offers a seasonal serene location for refuge and is devoted to creating habitat for wildlife and community gardens, in addition to quality educational experiences. Our spacious and bright Studio space in Fall River has been home to our services year round. We are a Non-Profit Charitable Organization devoted to spiritual guidance and public service. We offer quality holistic services for all stages of life and levels of experience with certified guides and teachers. It is our goal to keep rates affordable creating sustainable practices for a lifetime. How close are you? Within 15 minutes from New Bedford, MA via 195 west

In Just three weeks we set out from our door step to hike east 82 miles to the Chatham Lighthouse!

We will be filming the trek and posting updates day by day, so you can follow along. Even better yet, join us on the trail and together, step by step we will hike for a harmonious world!

Intended plan (there is always room for changes, detours etc)

Day 1: September 22nd - Westport to New Bedford ~ 12 miles
*if you plan to join us on this day, just a fair warning, this may be the day with the most tricky parts, within the first couple miles we have to cross route 88 and route 6. We plan to hike along a gas pipeline, that may be overgrown or simply too boggy. If that proves to be the case we will have to alter the route to walk on streets.

Day 2: September 23rd - New Bedford to Mattapoisett Town Wharf ~ 10 miles
*this trek mostly features walking on the pheonix bike path
*end of day we will be getting a boat ride across Buzzards Bay to Pocasset ~ 6 miles across the Bay

Day 3: September 24th - Pocasset to Mashpee Village ~ 12 miles

Day 4: September 25th - Mashpee to Hyannis ~ 14miles

Day 5: September 26th - Hyannis to Dennis Port ~ 11 or 13 miles

Day 6: September 27th - Dennis Port to Chatham (Lighthouse) ~ 14.5 miles

*Again, that is rough sketch of the route plan, as there are always unknowns and we may take one day along the route to rest. If you want to join us on one of the days then directly get in touch, text 774-264-0786

Thank you Jayne Darcy, Tahais Martins, Anne-Claire Anderson, Amanda & Ruben Barbosa, Paul Crawford & Amy, Christine & Ray Deslauries for your generous donation to our fundraiser! We have reach 6 donors so far and raised $325 towards our goal… another 4 people and make it to 10 donors! Or wouldn’t it be neat to reach 82 people, one for each mile we will walk?

This fundraiser is to raise $ to purchase the raw materials for Nature’s Whispers StoryWalk. This will be a permanent feature at our wildlife sanctuary in Westport, open to the public year-round. It will be a self guided tour that features keystone species, stewardship practices, habitats & more. This educational project helps people learn about our ecology, interconnection and how we can live in harmony within ourselves and our natural world.

Follow along .

We are getting excited about our upcoming 82 mile hike, from our doorstep to the Chatham Lighthouse!

Colin and I did a bit of scouting for our first days intended route, roughly 12 miles from the wildlife sanctuary to New Bedford - where we will tent camp at a friends house. Before we hit the railroad track there may be some bush whacking along a gas pipeline…it’s all part of the adventure 😝

This journey will be documented. It is part of our campaign to raise awareness about our nonprofit which envisions a world in which we live in harmony. We are raising funds for our nature’s whisper project in order to complete the story walk component. Follow along

AND Thank you so much, Amy, Christine and Ray for being the first to donate towards this special campaign!!!
🥰🥳
