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.

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.

After the last harvest moon we move into the darkest portion of year. This season can inspire more time for contemplation and rest. You may be called to sip warm tea by fire or candlelight, cuddle on the sofa with a book and sit quietly while listening to the Autumn winds.

This time of year can also draw us out of our cozy warm nests for holiday celebrations. The holiday’s bring both the feelings of joy from gathering with our loved ones and our sorrow from those who no longer take a seat at the table. The holidays can be a time to make & cherish memories and remember the people who live in our hearts and in the veil beyond the brain’s senses. Even when the human mind doubts, the spirit knows that love can never be lost.

In the spirit of honoring life, loved ones, memories made and the reunion that will be, we welcome you to join us this season.

Dance to raise the beat of your life pulse, gather to honor the time we have been gifted and in the darkness create a light that reaches beyond the veil! Visit our website 🕸️ to learn about classes, programs & events.

Seasonal Reflections & Intentions… Reality (our world) is what we make it!
Consider what is special about this season for you and how you can best enjoy it.

How do you prepare for the darker days ahead? What rituals and traditions do you honor and look forwards to?
✨
Connect to your personal reasons to support aligning your actions with your intentions. Be the change by cultivating harmony within. Awaken to who you are. Embrace your authenticity and by doing so realize your personal responsibility is truly your social responsibility, for we are one!

Looking forward to connecting with you this season!

Community Connections is deeply concerned by the recent cuts to Special Education. These decisions affect more than schools. They impact families, opportunities, and the foundation of inclusion. As part of The Arc of Massachusetts network, we remain committed to advocating for people with disabilities at every stage of life and to building communities where everyone is supported to succeed. Join us in standing up for equitable education and lifelong opportunity.
