Twilight
Hearth
Deep connection at dusk.
Amidst the rumble and groan of everyday life, you’ll find a twilight sanctuary atop a dormant volcano. This is a place to let time stand still as the worries of the modern world dissolve into the fading light.
Your weekly living hearth
Every Thursday evening, atop Maungawhau / Mt Eden
The Twilight Hearth is for those who like beautiful things and meaningful conversations.
An ever-evolving weekly gathering, rooted in community and crafted for curiosity and exploration. Each gathering begins with a grounding meditation, followed by discussions, storytelling, tarot, and other reflective practices. The structure adapts each week, reflecting the needs and rhythms of those present, offering a steady place for personal and communal growth.
Allow yourself this moment of connection and ease.

Why are these held outside in winter?
Simply put, nature is beautiful all year round and winter evenings have a richness to offer that too few people get to experience.
Plus, sunsets are longer and the colours are deeper (google it if you’d like to know the science behind this).
Group social spaces are difficult for me, can I still attend?
Yes! We’ve built a safe and supportive environment to connect and express yourself without any force.
Introverts will have all that they need to feel welcome and able to speak without competition or high expectations.
Extroverts will in turn be given a chance to slow down and practice listening! (This has been my journey and I’m very grateful for it)
Your events are difficult for me to access or attend (for any reason), do you offer other event types?
None that are easier to get to/connect with, however, there are many other connection focused events that I can happily recommend that may be better suited. - Feel free to email logan@connectionforthecurious.com if you’d like some help!
Note: bookings close one hour before each start time to ensure location updates are sent out in time.
