“Escape, Heal, and Rejuvenate: A 5-Day Retreat in Community"
Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in a transformative experience offered three times annually (April, July, and October). Join us for an immersive experience of healing and renewal, nestled in the comfort of private, luxurious residences. With a maximum of 30 attendees, this intimate gathering offers a sanctuary for individuals seeking solace and growth.
Our carefully selected facilitators, experts in various healing modalities, will guide you through transformative sessions tailored to meet your needs, regardless of where you are on your journey. From mindfulness practices to therapeutic workshops, each day presents opportunities for personal breakthroughs and collective support.
Indulge in eight delectable meals crafted with care and camaraderie as we come together in the joy of shared cooking experiences. With seven/eight rotating sessions, ample time for relaxation, and the chance to foster new connections, our retreats promise to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Saturday evenings are reserved for shenanigans. We indulge in "Eve's Game" (a tribute to Eve Sturges), a blend of Left, Right, Center, 20 Questions, and the thrill of a "Las Vegas" casino night! You won’t want to miss out on this fun night. If you're yearning for in-person connections but are short on time, we have the perfect solution! You can register for just Saturday Shenanigans.
Throughout the retreat we have prizes, raffles, live auctions, and a pretty awesome SWAG bag!
Join us and discover the warmth of belonging among kindred souls who understand and embrace you, even before they've met you.

How it all began…
Hiraeth Hope & Healing was born from a profound desire to support Adopted Folks, DCPs, LDAs, and NPEs on their journey toward healing. The founders first connected serendipitously at an NPE gathering in March 2019, where they quickly recognized the urgent need for more in-person opportunities for connection and healing. Inspired by this realization, they began planning their first retreat immediately following the event.
In October 2019, Hiraeth Hope & Healing hosted the inaugural Jersey Shore Roundtable Retreat, which proved to be a resounding success. Since then, the organization has continued to grow.
