Hiraeth is a koha-care service that helps and empowers you to be present for yourself and others in life and death.
Hiraeth (pronounced here-rythe) is a Welsh word that is, well… challenging to translate into English!
So let me try. The traditional meaning is varied but can be likened to ‘a homesickness tinged with grief/sadness over the lost or departed. Especially in the context of Wales. Perhaps for a place or time that never was.
Hiraeth is… that feeling when you recognise your human-ness in the seasons. In the elements. In the stars.
Hireath is… when you view yourself as a part of nature, not separate from it – and for a fleeting moment, you feel… whole. It feels… like home.
Hireath is… accepting that we are a part of nature, that we are bound to its cycles, and that one day, we too will die.
Hireath is… when we find home within ourselves, home within nature.
