Dr. Heather Elizabeth Osborn has a Doctorate in Education, with experience as an educator teaching in the US and the UK. While living in London, she pursued research on Goddess Mythology in women’s literature and completed her Priestess of Avalon training in Glastonbury to initiate into the ancient British Goddess mysteries. Upon returning to the US, she continued her writing, research, and exploration of ancient Goddess mysteries, creating an online course and organizing spiritual retreats to sacred sites as the founder of the Swan Centre. Her media work as a radio co-host and as a TV presenter as a contributing expert includes various Discovery Channel shows, such as ‘Forbidden History,’ ‘Inside Secret Society,’ and ‘What On Earth?’

Heather’s doctoral research for her dissertation focused on the importance of “writing for healing,” within an individual and social context to create transformational change. As a university educator, she encourages her students to find their individual voices through writing and expression, and as a writer, educator, and priestess, she is committed to honoring diversity and creating inclusive opportunities for connection and unity. One of her current writing projects includes her continued work on her book, ‘In the Eyes of Isis,’ about her personal and spiritual journey with Goddess traditions and various landscapes, the basis for her talk for ‘Women of Wisdom.’ Following this inner connection led to her most precious gifts in her life, her son Sean and her husband, author Gary Osborn, and the understanding that, at the center of all, our inner connectedness to love is what fuels the fire of inspiration, healing, empowerment, and transformational wisdom about our life paths.
