Do You Want to Join a Community of Gentle Rebels and See Where It Takes You?
Welcome to The Haven. I’m so glad you’re here, and from your responses to the questions, it would appear you’re here for a bit of everything. You’re so welcome to soak in the energy of our lovely little village and see what you discover while you’re here.
One of the things I’ve been keen to establish since creating The Haven in 2014 is to build an online space with the potential for many things, including unexpected avenues for exploration, learning, and humour.
I’ve noticed there are people who pass through our doors who might arrive expecting to focus on one thing before discovering something completely different. Maybe a new interest, a friendship, a collaboration, or a way of seeing a challenge that changes their relationship with it.
At its core, The Haven is a place to reflect on the multifaceted nature of being a highly sensitive person. But it’s about far more than knowledge. It’s about engaging with sensitivity, allowing it to speak through our innate creativity and playfulness (yes, even if you don’t feel it now, I know it’s in there!), and developing approaches that work for each of us so that sensitivity becomes part of our sound rather than something to resist or push against.
What You’ll Find Here
I created The Haven as a space to bring together and reflect the value of the unique perspectives of the gentle rebels within it. There is no hierarchical structure that elevates some and excludes others.
Here, you’ll find a variety of spaces to explore:
- The Cafe: Join me in our gathering space for discussions, creativity, and connection. There is a mixture of asynchronous meeting places (forums, social timeline, community gallery) and life gatherings (Kota, Journal Circle, Live Cafe, and Courtyards)
- The Library: A treasure trove of resources to inspire and equip you at your own pace (including interviews, informational articles, reflection prompts, workshop replays, and a range of practical tools).
- The Fireside: I have created coaching options and self-paced courses to help you reflect and take actionable steps toward the life you want.
Is Now the Right Time for You?
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, highly structured community with outcome-oriented promises or clear directives, The Haven might not be the right fit.
But there are many examples of people who thought they were seeking that type of support because it’s what they’d been encouraged to value from society and those around them. Yet, when they joined us, they discovered something far better suited to them. It became a space where they could finally be themselves and make changes in their own way, at their own pace.
Whether you’re here for a season or the long term, I want to welcome you where you are, as you are, who you are.
Perhaps you don’t yet know what you need but feel compelled to give it a try. That’s wonderful. You’re so very welcome to see how it feels.
If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to welcome you in and show you around!
I’m so glad you’ve found us.
