Grandmother Heather (Grandmother Feather or MeeMaw)

PROGRAM DIRECTOR & DONOR OUTREACH OF THE PATH

Heather Hall-Dudney is the oldest child, only daughter, and personal assistant and travel companion to Mayan Elder and Seed Keeper, Grandmother Flordemayo. She is a wife, daughter, mother, and grandmother whose life’s work is rooted in service, cultural preservation, and community building. A disabled Navy veteran, Heather holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and economics, with minors in chemistry, Spanish, business, and mathematics.

Heather lives in Boise, Idaho, with her husband, Caleb, and has served on numerous nonprofit boards. As program director and donor outreach lead for The Path, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by her mother to protect and preserve sacred heirloom seeds, she plays a vital role in sustaining the Seed Temple in Estancia, New Mexico. She has also co-produced major spiritual gatherings, including We Are All Related, the 20th Anniversary of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, and The Sacred Reciprocity Gathering for Mother Earth, as well as The Gathering for Humanity and numerous events at The Path.

Born under the sacred Mayan Nawal 9 Iq’—the wind, the breath of life, and the voice of divine inspiration—Heather embodies the qualities of communication, change, and the divine feminine. The number nine is sacred in Mayan cosmology, linked to the lunations of human gestation and the creative power of women.

A lifelong student and leader, Heather is a dedicated advocate for environmental stewardship, the preservation of Indigenous knowledge, and the honoring of sacred traditions. She also champions the causes of survivors of rape and sexual abuse, as well as veterans. With Mayan and Finnish ancestry, Heather walks her path with gratitude, weaving together ancestral wisdom and a vision for a future rooted in respect, balance, and love for all life.
