Heather Martin

We are in a New Year, hopefully somewhat different from the last, with all its intense challenges.
Let’s spend a quiet, contemplative, meditative day together, putting aside our worries, and connecting with ourselves as inter-relating tender beings.
We, and all Earth’s precious beings, need our care and attention like never before.
Please join us for this Retreat Day, on zoom, with teacher Heather Martin, from Salt Spring Island.

Heather Martin has been meditating since 1972, and practicing Vipassana since 1981.  Beginning with S.N. Goenka, she has since been influenced by both Thai and Burmese streams of the Theravada tradition – most recently by Burmese Sayadaw U Tejaniya, and by Tibetan Dzogchen with Tsoknyi Rinpoche.
She is the guiding teacher for the Salt Spring Vipassana Community. Her approach is encouraging, accessible and  practical. She worked for 20 years as a midwife, and has lived on Salt Spring Island, B.C. for 33 years.
