Upcoming Events & Gatherings

Hiraeth Hope & Healing offers a range of in-person and virtual gatherings designed to support connection, reflection, and shared understanding. Each gathering is intentionally held and shaped by the people who attend, with space for both structured experiences and restful, unstructured time.

Types of Events & Gatherings

Retreats

Our 5-day retreats offer extended time for connection, reflection, and community. All facilitated sessions take place within the homes where we stay, creating an immersive, shared environment that balances guided experiences with rest, creative integration, and informal time.

Wellness Weekends

Our Wellness Weekends are shorter, flexible gatherings designed to support ease, grounding, and connection. Facilitated sessions take place in a dedicated offsite space selected for reflective and expressive work, while overnight stays are hotel-based. These weekends balance guided reflection with optional social time.

Online Peer Support

Hiraeth Hope & Healing offers virtual, Zoom-based support spaces for individuals seeking connection from wherever they are. These gatherings provide an accessible way to engage in community without the need for travel or in-person attendance.

Zoom support spaces may be peer-led or professionally supported, depending on the gathering. Participation is always optional, and individuals are welcome to listen quietly, participate briefly, or step away as needed.
