About Melinda Hohn

Founder, Retreat/ Workshop Curator, Heart-Led Coach and Space Holder
I’m Melinda Hohn, the founder of Journeys Collective and Sisterhood Journeys. I'm not a healer- I'm a space holder. My passion lies in creating intentional space and experiences where everyone feels safe, supported and seen.
​
I didn't set out to start a business- I set out to find healing. Moving from the East Coast to Arizona and becoming a newly divorced, remote-working mom, I found myself craving something more, something deeper- real connection, deep friendship, and space to reconnect with myself. With no built-in community and a heart ready to rebuild, I turned to what I've always loved: travel, gathering people, and creating experiences that feel like home. That's when I made a decision that changed everything- I signed up for a retreat in Italy.
​
It was the first time I had ever invested in myself in that way. I traveled alone, not sure of what to expect and returned home transformed. I met incredible people. I felt seen, supported, and understood. And perhaps, most importantly, I remembered who I was.
​
That experience lit a fire in me. It became the inspiration behind Journeys Collective- - creating space and community where others could travel, connect, and grow just as I had.
Through thoughtfully curated retreats, events and gatherings, I facilitate moments of connection that invite reflection, togetherness, and shared experience. This work isn't about fixing or guiding-it's about walking beside one another as we navigate life with openness and heart.
​
Through Journeys Collective, I curate inclusive events and retreats that are open to everyone- regardless of gender- who seeks meaningful connection, personal growth, and authentic community.
​
Sisterhood Journeys is dedicated to creating sacred spaces for women-only gatherings centered on reflection, connection and shared experience. These events provide a space for women to come as they are, to be seen and supported without expectation or pressure to be “healed”- only held.
​
What started as a personal need to provide space and experiences for others to connect and be held evolved into something much greater. I didn't arrive at coaching though a single moment- I arrived through a lifetime of becoming. Growing up in an environment shaped by addiction and emotional absence, I learned early how to survive. Over the years, that turned into cycles of over giving, reinvention and starting again- always searching for grounding, belonging and meaning. What shifted everything wasn't fixing myself but choosing to live intentionally. Gathering people, creating space for reflection, and helping others come to themselves became not just healing practices, but my purpose.
​
​I believe every gathering, every coaching session, is a chance to feel seen, every destination is an opportunity to come home to yourself, and every person deserves a place to belong.
​
Let's wander together. Gather with purpose and journey with heart.

A Gentle Invitation
Sometimes, the first step is simply being in shared space.
I host intentional workshops and gatherings designed to support reflection, grounding and connection. These experiences offer a gentle entry point into the work, allowing you to slow down, explore your inner landscape and reconnect with yourself alongside others.
Workshops may include guided journaling, intention-setting, seasonal reflection, creative expression and facilitated conversation- all held in a supportive, welcoming environment.
​
Currently, workshops are offered primarily in person, creating space for deeper presence and connection. Virtual sessions are also available and can be thoughtfully adapted for those outside the area or for groups seeing experience from afar.

A Letter About
The Hearth: A Sisterhood Haven
The Hearth was born from my own longing. For years, I've searched for a space where I could show up just as I am - a place to be seen, supported and connected in ways that go beyond the surface. I wanted somewhere that felt steady, like a rhythm I could return to each month, where growth and belonging unfold from alongside the natural seasons of life.
​
When I couldn't find the space, I decided to create it. The Hearth is my offering of what I've needed on my own journey: warmth, renewal and the kind of sisterhood that reminds us we're never walking alone.
​
Each gathering is a reflection of that vision - ro0ted in seasonal themes, personal development and the deep truth that we rise stronger when we rise together.
​
With warmth and sisterhood,
Melinda
A Letter About Rooted Expression
Rooted Expression was created as a gentle return- to the body, to the heart and to a slower, more intentional way of being.
This it not a traditional journaling circle.
It's a floor-seated ritual gathering where we come together in circle, grounded by candlelight and shared presence. A space where nothing needs to be solved, fixed or perfected- only felt, witnessed and honored.
Each gathering unfolds as a practice rather than a performance. Through intentional tea, guided journaling, quiet reflection and meditation, we soften the noise of everyday life and listen inward. Journaling here is not about prompts or productivity, but about expression- allowing what is already present to have a voice.
​
Rooted Expression is designed to be slow and spacious. We move deliberately, with reverence for the nervous system and respect for each person's inner timing. Silence or sharing is welcomed. Simplicity is intentional. What arises is trusted.
You are invited to come exactly as you are. Nothing more is required.
​
With care and gratitude,
Melinda
