"Hearth provided a community of like-minded amazing women who were a joy to meet with. The experience gave me greater confidence in my choices and a space to express freely. I said things out loud that I had never said before, knowing that I had a supportive community to listen."

- Nina

"I hadn't realised how unique and significant it would feel to have such a safe, and compassionately-held, space to speak from the heart about all the challenges and joys of childfree life… I feel more grounded and certain than ever in owning my own unique childfree experience and identity."

- Mathilda

"Hearth has been a true gift for me that found me just in the right moment. A safe and empathic space that felt like a warm hug when you need it most. I was initially childfree not by choice, but by circumstances… Sharing our experiences, our struggles and pain, but also our dreams and joy for life, made me feel understood, held and empowered. I think right now I'm ready to embrace being childfree as a choice, even as a gift. We've all come a long way, and we should be proud of who we are."

- Anna

"What participating has meant to me is feeling validated that there are so many other women out there with similar feelings, struggles, doubts, joys, interests - you're not alone. I'm really grateful, and I feel way more confident."

- Ellie

"I’ve struggled throughout my life to find my community. I am so grateful to have found one here, among all of you. I sincerely hope our last “official” Hearth gathering is not one where we say goodbye, but one where we say “talk to you soon” and really mean it. I know I will."
