The Hearth ~ An online sanctuary for women.
The Hearth
A monthly online community for women seeking connection, belonging and a place to simply be.
There are seasons of life when stepping out into community feels impossible.
Perhaps you're caring for young children, supporting ageing parents, navigating illness, living in a rural area, or simply finding that life has become so full there is little space left for you.
And yet, the longing to be seen, heard and held doesn't disappear.
You have not become invisible simply because this season has taken you away from in person community.
The Hearth was created as an online extension of The Barn Temple - a gentle place to gather with women who understand that we were never meant to walk through life alone.
More than a monthly circle, The Hearth is an ongoing community.
It is a place where conversations continue long after our gathering has ended. A place where women celebrate one another's joys, hold one another through difficult seasons, ask for support without judgement, and remember that there is always someone sitting beside the fire.
Each month we'll gather online for a live 90-minute circle, guided by the rhythms of the seasons and the realities of being human. Together we'll explore themes through heartfelt conversation, reflection, gentle ritual, meditation, poetry, journaling and practices to help you return home to yourself.
Between our gatherings, you'll be welcomed into our private online community where connection continues throughout the month. There is no expectation to contribute every day; simply knowing the space is there can be enough.
As The Hearth grows, there will also be opportunities to gather in person for seasonal community meet-ups for those who feel called, with further online offerings unfolding over time.
Your place by the fire includes
✺ Two live online Hearth gatherings each month
First Thursday | 8:00 to 9:00pm
Third Wednesday | 10:30 to 11:30am
Each month we'll gather around a shared seasonal theme, drawing inspiration from the Wheel of the Year, the wisdom of nature and the rhythms of feminine life.
Together we'll create space to pause, reflect and reconnect through conversation, meditation, gentle ritual, journalling and seasonal practices. These are not spaces where you need to have the right words or arrive as your best self. They are places where you are welcomed exactly as you are.
While both gatherings explore the same monthly theme, each unfolds in its own unique way, allowing you to attend one or both without repetition. Come to whichever gathering best supports your life and current season.
✺ An ongoing online community
The Hearth is more than two circles each month. It is a community that continues to hold one another in the time between gatherings.
Within our private online space you'll find seasonal reflections, gentle practices, thoughtful conversation and a place to share, seek support or simply witness the journeys of other women. There is no expectation to be constantly present. Whether you participate often or quietly from the edges, your place by the fire remains yours.
✺ As The Hearth grows
As our community deepens, there will be opportunities to gather in person for those who feel called, bringing our online community together around the fire from time to time.
Membership is £12 per month, with the choice of a one month pass or a rolling monthly subscription.
This subscription can be paused or cancelled at any time.
Whether you join us wrapped in a blanket after putting the children to bed, with a cup of tea at your kitchen table, or from the quiet corner you've carved out just for yourself, you'll be met exactly as you are.
Because community isn't built in a single evening.
It is nurtured in the moments between.
