She is a member of the Natural Dharma Fellowship and participates in their Margha program.

Hildur is a certified Mindfulness Meditation instructor, ordained interfaith minister and Reiki Master Teacher. She first experienced mindful awareness practices over two decades ago when she took refuge in Diamond Way Buddhism.
Hildur is especially interested in working with ways to resolve trauma by turning towards earth-based and elemental healing modalities. Holistic wellness depends on deepening our connection to the natural world. Realizing we’re inseparable from the natural world is the first step in healing.
