Hearth

What if you took the chilled out vibe from a family celebration and crossed it with the hallway track of a tech conference? What if you gathered interesting people in a room for a few days just to see what happened?

The response to both of those questions is Hearth. It’s a gathering of folks in a remarkable venue, with delicious food, some choice activities, and lots of space: space to hang out, space to think, and space to share ideas. By the hearth.

The Hearth

Silver grass and frost over flowers
Crisp air, visible breath
And warmth from the house on the river

A twist of words, chance meetings
The warmth of wood and hearts
Eyes of love and embraces of friends
The warmth of a story around the fire

Like waves caressing the beach
A coming together of ideas
Ideals, identities, stories
Joys of libation, liberation, articulation
Relation

Warmth and chill collating
Swarming into one singular moment
Ephemeral but grand
Not perfection, but persistence

Wood and bone
Bang and ozone
Tales and smarts
This is the hearth
