ABOUT HERA
Founded by Ellie Berland and Rylie Beck, Hera creates intentional gatherings for sacred belonging. We are passionate about designing experiences that invite the “seeker” into curated containers for high-conscious collaboration and education. There is sacrament in the mundane and everyday is a new opportunity to establish ritual in observation of the art of intentional living. Hera’s goal is to re-imagine the ways we connect to ourselves, the earth and each other.
Cultivating a community that bridges ancient and modern.
Hera’s Founders
Hera began with a spark of friendship between Ellie Berland and Rylie Beck in early 2022. As their friendship grew, they realized their values on life, community and creation were in alignment and began to understand that the greater meaning of their connection was divinely planned to create something powerful together. Hera combines Ellie and Rylie’s skills in high-end event design and their innate spiritual and holistic gifts to create intentional experiences and gatherings rooted deeply in community, connection to the earth and mindful living.
Ellie is a multi-passionate being. She has a long standing presence as a multifaceted entrepreneur specializing in spacial design, gatherings and events. Through her own journey of understanding her personal power, she has seen this skill grow into not just design but also to the creation of worlds and of holding sacred space. Ellie combines the alchemy of life with the physical design to hold space for growth and transformation. Now, Ellie brings these talents to Hera to create and hold sacred space for the community to grow together and individually. Ellie is passionate about being a steward of life, our earth and our communities. Her vision for the world transcends modern reality and helps to bridge the gap between the ancient and the modern, bringing ancient practices to the modern age.
Ellie Berland
Rylie grew up dancing and began a career in ballet at a young age. As mental and physical health issues came to light in her early twenties, she found herself on a journey of self-actualization. Aware that she had suffered traumas growing up in a rigorous training environment, she dove into a world of holistic ways to heal the mind and body, and started connecting with her inner divinity. This quest eventually lead her on a path back to nature. In 2020, Rylie made a move to the mountains of North Idaho, shifting the course of life as she once knew it. Living completely immersed in the elements, she learned to re-connect with the ancient teachings of Mother Earth and live in harmony with her surroundings. A transition back to urban living in 2022 shed light on a great disconnect from “modern man” and nature. It is her goal to be a guiding light for those on the journey of self-empowerment, seeking a deeper connection to the root of spirit and the earth.
