Humans of the Heart
Humans of the Heart is a campaign bringing people together through interviews, media, apparel, virtual and live events to nurture self-regulation, co-regulation, and a more trauma-informed world. This campaign affirms a timeless truth: when humans connect with open hearts and shared focus, we can shift the patterns of our inner lives and the world around us.
Humans of the Heart builds upon decades of research into the power of collective consciousness—such as the Maharishi Effect (https://research.miu.edu/maharishi-effect/) which demonstrated measurable reductions in crime through coordinated meditation efforts—and further developed through Lynne McTaggart’s (https://lynnemctaggart.com/) data-based explorations of intention for personal and collective healing.
Social Media, the news, and the status quo paradigms of today’s world often have people either reacting or disassociating from the pain of the world—perpetuating a sort of collective apathy that leads to complacency, compromising of our true values, and a breakdown of our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the goodness of humanity.
At the same time, Humans of the Heart belongs to a lineage of visionaries like Joanna Macy and Bill Plotkin, whose work in the deep ecology movement calls us to embrace what Macy names the “Great Turning.” Their teachings empower us to recognize that the challenges of our time are not dead-ends but thresholds—opportunities to reclaim our wholeness and step into conscious participation with Earth’s unfolding story. By weaving intention, community, and embodied practice, we strengthen our capacity to help birth a more resilient, relational, and life-affirming future.
Virtual Heart Councils
First Monday of the Month 5-6 pm PT
All are welcome to unify our hearts in healing from the personal to collective level. Research consistently shows that loving connection is one of the most effective ways to heal trauma, but humanity is experiencing a growing loneliness epidemic.
Whether you are a tried and true warrior of the heart, or someone who is yearning to feel greater connection in your life, or anywhere in between, we welcome you to join this FREE Virtual Heart Council on Zoom led by WESOURCE founder Lotus Sattva.
The structure of the council is interactive including:
Step 1: Attunement through a guided group meditation that supports self awareness, vision, and unity
Step 2: One on one and small group connection practices to help you feel seen, heard, and cultivate greater empathy
Step 3: A group council to share your visions, network and find resonant allies and friends
This one hour is designed to give you both a lived experience of greater heart resonance, and tools and opportunities to continue cultivating heart resonance in your life between calls. It is best for you to join us live so that you can connect with other humans of the heart. However, we will record the meditation and introduction of connection practices so if you can’t join but want to practice with others that is still an option.
