Retreat Center Steward
New to Cobscook Institute as of 2025 Heather looks forward to growing into her role as Retreat Center Steward and becoming part of the Washington County community. Professionally she has found herself playing the role of Organic Farmer, Activist, Yoga teacher, Resort Manager, Metalsmith, and getting her hands dirty in various kitchens and gardens across the country; all in the pursuit of creating beauty and being of service to others. She’s excited that her love of lifelong learning, and being of service to others aligns so closely with Cobscook Institute’s vision and mission and couldn’t be happier to help facilitate their operations. Maine has been a place Heather has called home at various times in her life since 1999, and has lived on Mount Desert Island since 2014, but is eager to move farther north. She revels in all of Maine’s natural glory whenever she can, feasting on berries during hikes in the summer and cooling off with impromptu swims are just two of the activities that she considers life worth living for. Usually accompanying her are her daughter and dog which govern most of her life’s decisions.
She often laments there are not enough hours in the day to learn, see or do all that she wants to, but is also kind of glad that there aren’t because she can sleep for sport!
