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.
Community Arts Gathering Garden
Our lush, green lawns and vibrant community arts gathering gardens offer more than just beauty—they provide safe, nurturing spaces where survivors can reflect, reconnect, and begin their journey toward restoration. With the picturesque San Pasqual Valley as a backdrop, every corner of our garden is a setting for renewal. Through artistic expression, hands-on workshops, and meaningful connections, we offer pathways to healing and hope.
