Vision
Enrich the lives of all fellow members in their journey to happiness through mutual respect and care
Phirse (Hindi origin: “once again”) was born out of a need to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to individuals from all backgrounds that were going through a major life event as a result of divorce or widowhood. From our modest origins in August of 2019 as a group of 20 members, we have grown into a wonderful, thriving community of individuals of 1400+ in three countries from diverse backgrounds that span different age groups, ethnicities, professions, and cultures.
