Sacred Threads: A Bouquet of Wild Prayers is a luminous tapestry of poetry and photography, inviting readers to dwell in life’s sacred, untamed beauty. Each page sanctifies the everyday, weaving words and images into an intricate spiral of meaning where “beauty as medicine” shines. Having journeyed alongside Heather in sadhana for years, I see her poetry as a mirror to our shared devotion to revolutionary time, creating a tapestry of maternal wisdom and nourishing care.

Heather’s work pulses with an understanding of cycles, thresholds, and the sacred interconnection of life. Her poem, ‘Mothering’, resonates deeply, offering a profound bow to "all the ways in which the necessary medicine of mothering is made manifest," honoring its many expressions—from fierce protection to quiet tending. This collection is more than poetry; it is a transformative gift, a bouquet of wild prayers that calls us to see beauty as both balm and guiding light. For this offering, I hold profound gratitude.

Sacred Threads is an exquisite alchemical transmission. As an artist and mystic, Heather offers us her sumptuous photography and transformative poetry as a sacred illuminated text. This is a book that is both totemic and a living stream of consciousness, Art to be placed on the altar and imbibed slowly through the years. Here, the Living Goddess and Mother Earth are alive, vibrant, and well. This book is a rare treasure that I will share widely and often.

I bow in gratitude.

Sacred Threads is an astounding book of beauty which transports the reader beyond time and space, into the ethereal realm of the divine. A rare glimpse into the landscape of the deep feminine soul, Heather lures us into a soft, intimate embrace through captivating visual imagery and profound poetic brilliance. We are privy to the revelation of a woman embodied in her feminine divinity, unabashedly sharing Her wisdom and sacred communion. Drinking in the grace of each poem, my own Spirit was lifted and unbound. I highly recommend this inspired treasure to anyone seeking a doorway to meet the beauty of their own soul. If a book of prayer could gently hold you in her arms and open the heart, 'Sacred Threads' does just that.

Take it slowly with this one. Some books take lifetimes. This is an invitation to drop down deep into the silence and stillness of yourself and your dear mother earth, who knows and holds you and wants you to draw from her depths. Consider this book a timely offering from Her.

This is a book of wonders. The first time I picked it up, I read out loud to my husband, and we both cried. I became increasingly unable to read out loud as I opened page after page and read words that are a call back to everything that I hold sacred. Heather was speaking the words of my heart with profound presence, astuteness, sensitivity, and above all the most vivid fragrance and texture of beauty. Here is a book that I shall read from every time that I teach, and share with everyone that I know. I'm tempted to keep it next to my bed so that I can end and start the day reading a poem. This truly is a work of soul art. Thank you Heather for the care and reverence woven into literally every facet of your offering. You take my breath away.

This book is Filled with Divine Feminine archetypal power. I bow to the depth of Heather’s profound gift, her weaving of words and images. Each poem, each visual treat, an invitation and an offering filled with exquisite beauty, myth and magic. This book calls me deeper into the mystery. Accompanied by her visual feast of sensual, poetic photographic imagery, Sacred Threads is a rich journey into the sacred. I take it in with small sips to savor it slowly…like soul food. The nectar of the Goddess that Heather shares with us, from her multifaceted gem of a channel, is nourishing to my feminine heart. Blessed be this tool, this jewel, this blessing.
