The Hearth

The Hearth is the community gathering place of The Teresea Carson Institute.

It is where we come together to continue the conversation, explore questions, deepen understanding, and integrate what we are learning through the curriculum.

The Hearth is not another lecture.

It is a place for relationship.

A place to think together, wonder together, and discover together.

Every gathering is unique because every conversation is shaped by the questions, insights, and lived experience of those who participate.

Like a hearth within a home, this is a place where people gather—not because they have all the answers, but because they are willing to remain in relationship with the questions.

Hearth gatherings are available to enrolled students.

The Hearth gathers once a week by Zoom. These gatherings provide a regular place for enrolled students to come together, continue the conversation, explore questions, and deepen their relationship with the work and with one another.


The fire is not something we create for one another. It is something we each bring with us. The Hearth simply provides a place where we can gather around it together.
