The Temple received it’s name when founder Heather Salmon was ordained as an Essene Minister in 2005 and was gifted two Black Swan statues. Clearly a sign, the Black Swan has several connotations
The Black Swan
First there is the children’s story of the ugly duckling. You may recall that there was a among them a black swan who didn’t know she was a swan but thought that she was an ugly duckling as all of the rest of the ducks looked all same. Then one day, the “ugly duckling” grew up and discovered that she wasn’t an ugly duckling at all, but a beautiful swan! This is a beautiful metaphor for the transformation that is created on our path of Awakening
There is also the Black Swan “Theory” that is used to describe “an unpredictable event that defies prediction” and has a major impact!. These events are usually characterized by “hindsight bias” meaning that there is a tendency to believe that the event was predictable based on knowledge gained after the event occurred.
As we Awaken we are able to utilize our higher senses and abilities to create what might seem like the “miraculous.” A Course in Miracles states that miracles are merely “corrections” for things that we erroneously thought we “true.” It is the mission of the Black Swan Temple it inspire greatness and a sustainable, just and peaceful human presence on earth..
The third aspect of the Black Swan comes from the Egyptian pantheon, On 10/10/10 Black Swan Temple founder Heather was ordained into the Temple of Isis and became a priestess of Nuit, Isis and Hathor. Nuit/Nut is associated with the night sky and Isis, her daughter, is the winged goddess of 10,000 names.
The Black Swan Temple serves the greater community in numerous ways including:

Heather Regal Salmon
Black Swan Temple and Mystical Alchemy Founder
Heather Regal Salmon is a visionary mystic, sound alchemist, and spiritual teacher devoted to sacred service, planetary healing, and soul remembrance. An ordained High Priestess in the Temple of Isis and Essene lineages and a practitioner of Ancient Egyptian Shamanism, she is the cofounder of the Black Swan Temple on Maui—an off-grid eco-sanctuary where she and her husband Donny Regal guide transformative retreats, Mystery School initiations, and sacred pilgrimages to Egypt.
Of Jamaican and Celtic heritage, Heather’s diverse ancestry informs her deep reverence for nature, ancestral healing, and the sacred feminine. She was born in Toronto to a lineage of pioneers—her father, Dr. J. Douglas Salmon, was Canada’s first Black chief of surgery and president of a medical staff. Her mother, Beverley Salmon, was Toronto’s first Black female city councillor, a co-founder of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, and the first Black woman to serve as an Ontario Human Rights Commissioner. Beverley was awarded both the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario for her groundbreaking leadership in social justice and equity.
Heather’s personal journey has been equally dynamic and inspiring—from producing international NBA events to a successful career in Hollywood as an actress and model—before fully dedicating herself to spiritual leadership and the healing arts. She holds a degree in Economics from the University of Toronto and blends ancient wisdom with modern practices including astrology, yoga, energy healing, and plant-based living.
Heather’s work continues to touch and uplift a global community through her teachings, music, and ceremonial artistry—inviting all who are called to awaken their inner mystic, embody the alchemy of love, and walk the path of beauty, truth, and transformation.
The Black Swan Temple Farm
We believe in health, wellness and sustainability
We are a tropical organic farm/eco-sanctuary, where we are proud to grow fresh and organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers and so much more from our edible landscape gardens and food forest.
This practice supports not only healthy soil by avoiding toxic pesticides, herbicides and fungicides at all costs but also encouraging a much more wholesome, nutritious and holistic diet and lifestyle.
Here at Black Swan Temple, we are on a water catchment system,
The process of collecting and storing rainwater. This means that we rely on rainwater for all our needs! Our two water catchment tanks can hold 25,000 gallons of water which are then pumped throughout the property for our daily needs.
For this reason, we are always mindful of our water usage so we can reduce the need for imported water. This system can also be a great educational tool for us to recognize the situations in which we consume more water than we need to and how we can be more sustainable (for example, turning the faucet off whilst brushing our teeth, rinsing several dishes at once, etc.).
Recycling and Composting
On our luscious land, we are committed to the recycling of materials and the composting of organic matter.
Composting is a great way to encourage sustainability in your home, as food and yard waste together make up more than 30 percent of what we throw away, and could easily be composted instead.
This way, these materials won’t end up in landfills where they’d be taking up space and releasing methane, a greenhouse gas. Rather, they will be naturally recycled into a fertilizer, enriching the soil and the plants!
