Collective Resilience and Healing.
Across the world, we are all feeling the weight of conflict, economic instability, and climate change, and their effects on our physical and mental wellbeing. In our communities in the Middle East, we feel these challenges in uniquely profound ways, making the call for regenerative systems and collective care more urgent than ever. The Hearth Summit Kuwait 2025 - the region's first event of its kind - will gather changemakers from diverse sectors to forge a shared vision for a future built on resilience, transformative renewal, and mutual support. By drawing on our collective wisdom and our diverse heritage, rituals, and practices, we will explore how we can come together across differences to nurture a more compassionate, sustainable tomorrow.
