ABOUT US

Where 2 Or More Gather (W2OMG) is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit overlooking the beautiful San Pasqual Valley in north San Diego California. We opened our hearts and gardens to provide a Creative Retreat Sanctuary and Survivor-led Petals of HOPE  Boutique, Café and Gathering Gardens co-op.  

 

In partnership with our Safe House Coalition, partners, local artists, wedding & event industry leaders our Gathering Gardens cultivate safe spaces-places and internships. Where 2 Or More Gather, is an outdoor gathering garden and charity venue space that provides HOPE (Healing, Opportunities, Purpose & Empowerment) to survivors of trafficking and abuse, to rediscover their voice, embrace their creativity, and begin the journey toward restoration.
