About Us

Gathered Hearts was founded in 2023 to foster healing, growth and joy in a community setting, in order to support a positive human experience.

As we collectively face difficult challenges in life, having a refuge to turn to is essential to weather the storms of life, band together, and come out stronger and happier. We aim to provide these spaces in neighborhoods that desire them.

OUR MISSION

Acquire, build and maintain inclusive and inspirational event spaces where communities can gather, heal, grow, and celebrate.

Diverse communities join together to share and celebrate with equal opportunity to spaces and events.

Individuals flourish in spaces where they can learn, grow, and be at peace.

Creators have room to create with and for others while earning a living.

Sustaining, non-profit businesses enrich the community, providing livable-wage jobs that focus on employee well-being.

Our Values

We are focused on improving the human experience.

We make positive impacts on communities and creators, leaving the human experience better than we found it, providing spaces for the next generation to expand further upon.

We care about people.

We treat communities and our team members with respect and kindness. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging matter and are essential in what we do and how we act towards each other. We value each other's experiences and ideas, no matter how different they are from our own.

We are stewards of the environment.

It’s not only important to have a clean and functioning home (earth), but to tend to it, heal from it and educate about what it can do for us and how to foster it.

We believe in progress over perfection.

We believe that the best way to have an impact in the world and to build a great company is through continuous progress, paired with iteration, experimentation, and learning. We strive to get better every day, and we take a growth mindset.

We inspire, innovate and adapt.

We are bold and listen to our hearts. We dream big, we share and listen to others’ ideas, and we bravely try new things together. It’s okay if we fail because we learn from it and that’s what makes us stronger and successful in the end.
