We recently connected with Heather Regal Salmon and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Heather, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
Heather’s journey began with a distinguished career in international events production with the NBA before transitioning to Hollywood as a successful actress and model. However, her true calling emerged when she was in Hollywood and explored shamanic sound healing as a path for self healing. She went on to develop sacred sound ceremonies in the early 2000s as the Women’s Club of Hollywood. From there embraced her path as a spiritual teacher and High Priestess ordained in the Essene and Temple of Isis lineages.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Heather’s mission is rooted in helping individuals uncover their gifts, navigate sacred paths, and heal from generational trauma and past-life karmas. Through rituals, yoga, energy healing, communication, sustainability, and a plant-based lifestyle, she guides others towards profound transformation.
Her ancestral roots in Jamaican and Celtic heritage influence her work, which she continues on the island of Maui, Hawaii, at the Black Swan Temple Eco Sanctuary—a venture co-founded with her husband, Donny Regalmuto. Together, they offer transformative healing retreats, sacred Egypt pilgrimages, mystery school trainings, and Mystical Alchemy Sound Healing Ceremonies.
Heather’s dedication to spiritual growth and healing has made her a respected figure in the realm of consciousness expansion and holistic wellness, touching the lives of many with her wisdom, compassion, and innovative approach to sound healing and sacred arts.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The journey into a life of authenticity took me on the path of what I call the Mystical Alchemist. A Mystical Alchemist lives in alignment with their truth and soul’s purpose and transforms the
world around them with love. The mystic understands there is a plan behind every action in
the Universe. A mystical experience involves an individual’s direct subjective communion with
the Divine, God/Goddess, All That Is; however they relate to this higher power.
Alchemy, on the other hand, is an ancient practice based on a world view that everything
around us contains a universal spirit and is thereby interconnected and interrelated. Alchemy is
an art based partly on experimentation and partly upon magic and ritual to refine and
transform things into spiritual perfection. An Alchemist’s quest has traditionally involved a
search for the Philosopher’s Stone, a mythical substance that may have taken the form of wax,
liquid or powder. It is said to have magical powers to heal, prolong life, and change base metals
into precious metals such as turning lead into gold. Perhaps in this modern world, the
philosophers stone that we are seeking is love, which has power the ability to facilitate healing,
growth, and transformation. I have found this to be true in my experience.
Mystical Alchemy takes us into the realm of sacred ritual with tools and elements that come
together to powerfully effect personal and global transformation.
The way of the Mystical Alchemist is co-creative and a process where we work with Source and
our intentions to transform and grow beyond ourselves. It is how we can actively and skillfully
transform from a state of blessed unrest to an empowered life of significance.
Mystical Alchemy is an interactive, dynamic process that requires us to hone our personal
powers, which are skills, practices, and mindsets, which, when awakened and engaged, gives
the energy to stimulate and activate the experience.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I went from having a successful career in international sports working for world federations and international events including the NBA as an international events producer. Then I pivoted to work in network television. Then as everyone was telling me that I should be on TV, I thought I wanted to be a broadcast journalist. So I made a documentary on childhood lead poisoning in Baltimore and sold it to the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning. Then I got an agent and she asked me if she could send me out for acting auditions. I said fine and I booked 10 jobs in my first year in Toronto. Then I decided to move to LA because I was doing so well and was a must join for SAG and got great agents. I did very well in LA … shot 40+ national commercials, a lot of small parts on big shows, etc., But it still really wasn’t my calling so I got into healing arts … and started to create ceremonies at the Women’s club of Hollywood in the early 2000s. And then I left LA and moved to Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California where I was feeling more aligned with community living and I was able to develop my craft … and there you go!
