Meet the Host

Sally Taylor is a practitioner within the Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa tradition. She lives at, and hosts, Hermitage Cottage and all that emerges from it as a spiritual retreat and contemplative experience. Programmes that reach across faith traditions and speak from the heart, the core of all spiritual traditions, are offered on a regular basis. Her background and training is in religious and political studies, in horticulture, and she has lived and worked in Northern Ireland for over thirty years, where she is an active member of the Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum. Sally is a ‘Guardian of Gratefulness’ with ANG*L (A Network of Grateful Living) and www.gratefulness.org. She sits on the Coordinating Council of Spiritual Directors International www.sdiworld.org

Her "home of the heart" remains the Pacific Northwest in the USA, where she grew up. She is a mother of three glorious young adults, Christina, Iain and Alex!
