About Heather Golding
In 1991 I graduated from The Glasgow School of Art with a First Class Honours Degree in Printed Textiles, and was awarded 'The Francis Newbury Medal' for the most inovative designer of the year. Moving to London to live my dream as a designer, life slowly revealed it had a different path for me... 
In October 1993 my daughter Mia was born and we moved to Whitstable in Kent. Here I was introduced to Reiki, qualifying in 1996 as a Reiki Practitioner.
I then began to explore a new love and enthusiasm for Colour, which led me to study and experience the fascinating and wonderful world of 'Aura-Soma' (Colour Therapy for the Soul) qualifying in level One and Two.
In 2002 my daughter and I spent three months on the Big Island of Hawaii. Moved deeply by the island and experiences with wild spinner dolphins, I was introduced to the art of the Mandala. Inner guidance asked me not to read or research into the story and art of Mandalas, as this would awaken the intellect which was not where my journey would take me. My circles would unfold with natural cycles and the rythmn of the earth. I began to create these circles, through a spontaneous and organic process...with each breath...for Peace.
Since our first visit we have returned to Hawaii twice, which enhanced my work further. It was on our second journey in 2004 that I found my voice, and have been following this path of sacred singing eversince. Leading me to create my Cd 'Kutara' in the language of Colour, accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the Harp played by Victoria Davies.
In 2005 we left our life in Glasgow, Scotland and spent three months living in Stanford, South Africa. Whilst there we lived near Melissie Jolly, the Creator of 'Colourworks', now known as 'Colour Mirrors'. Inspired by her work and the beauty of South Africa I created a new collection of circles.
We then moved to Farnham, Surrey in England, which is where we are living now. I am singing and performing regularily with a variety of musicians. I am also presently designing the book of my Circles, and creating my next albumn with 'Gekko'-Andrew Tilling and Saul Newbury.
