Past Gatherings
Over time, Hiraeth Hope & Healing has gathered in a range of locations that have supported shared time, reflection, and community presence. These gatherings have taken place in coastal homes, private residences, and other thoughtfully chosen spaces suited to in-person connection.
Each gathering carries its own rhythm, shaped by the people who were present and the time in which it unfolded. These spaces have held facilitated sessions, shared meals, informal conversation, and quiet moments alongside one another.
This page offers a look back at where we have gathered, and how those moments have taken shape over time.
