About Us
The Heron House was named both because of a special relation we have with herons on the land as well as a reference to a well respected author, artist, musician, songwriter, and British feminist Carolyn Hillyer. In her book, Sacred House, Carolyn describes a place she calls Heron House. Below is a treasured excerpt from her book which captures the depth behind the spirit of our special retreat space for women:
The heron is a powerful symbol for women within the wild landscapes of our untamed souls. The heron house is located within the country of our spirit mothers and holds the memory of all that we have been as women wed to the earth. As we see those who have walked this way before us, so we also watch for those that follow us behind, and in the heron house we create a web of moments that support and celebrate these shape-shifting times. |
Having lived in Asheville for 20 years, I have seen this city grow and change, especially the diminishing of quiet places. The Heron House is a short drive from downtown but/and is nestled in beautiful Riceville Valley away from the growing noise and distractions. I am honored to offer a retreat from the world for a few nights to a few weeks. Our land here is safe, nourishing and welcoming, a perfect sanctuary to find oneself and one another again in rest, reflection and creativity. We look forward to welcoming you home.
