Hiraeth is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. The University of Wales, Lampeter likens it to a homesickness tinged with grief and sadness over the lost or departed, especially in the context of Wales and Welsh culture. It is a mixture of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness or an earnest desire for the Wales of the past.

We take this and add it to lon which means “full of.” So when I say Hiraethlon, I name a mysterious sense of belonging or homecoming to a place, identity, or sense of self you know is possible but perhaps never fully realized.

Hiraethlon is a lovingly cultivated space where you can explore this notion of longing or homesickness in a variety of ways. Hiraethlon's mission is to help people cultivate a deep sense of belonging through creativity, self-inquiry, and soulful living. I offer a myriad of spaces for you to step into a more holistic knowing of yourself via griefwork, creativity, exploration, and imagination.
