Company: Mikayaheart.org

Location: Laytonville, Calif.

Ms. Heart was born in Scotland. She worked on organic farms, lived in communes, and trained as a mechanic in England in her twenties. Because of her strong bond with nature, she became an active environmentalist in the seventies, long before that word was well known. She also came out as a lesbian and was a very committed feminist at that time. Her deep desire for justice inevitably translated into radical political activities that got her in trouble with the establishment more than once. After moving to northern California at the age of 30, she built her own house with her own hands out of recycled lumber in the boonies, ran an organic market garden, and raised organic free range hogs, the first person to do so commercially in the U.S. She began practicing Wicca and was soon studying spiritual practices with a variety of teachers, including Angeles Arrien and Brooke Medicine Eagle. For the last 20 years, she has been studying with Dayana Jon, who is the voice for a group of realized entities called AMAG. Continue reading →
