What we’re about
Welcome to Human Hearted Canberra.
We are a supportive, inclusive community of people with shared values in the Canberra area. We believe that the key to a flourishing society where everyone can thrive is by focussing on the things that really matter in life. Moving towards finding joy and fulfilment through compassionate connections with each other, working together for a better world, and engaging with music, art and the environment. Moving away from partisanship, consumerism and keeping up appearances.
We are a local community of Humanists Australia. Humanism is more than just a 'lack of religious belief', its a positive life stance. Human heartedness is a humanistic approach to living a better life.
All are welcome to participate in our events to learn, connect and contribute to a flourishing world. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
If you’re not sure what Humanism is all about yet, take the quiz, or ask us at one of our Meetups. Humanists Australia also runs online discussions and presentations on Humanism. We recommend the Humanists Australia meetup group.
Membership of Humanists Australia is not required to attend our events. We want to serve the broad Canberra community. Nonetheless we would be grateful if you choose to support Humanists Australia, which funds this community and others around the country.
Attendees at our events are expected to adhere to the Humanists Australia Code of Conduct. We do not allow harassment of any kind, or promotion of any goods, services or groups unrelated to humanism (except by prior permission of the organisers).
We changed our name to Human Hearted Canberra in October 2024 - we’re still the same community that's been running since 2015.

Humanism is more than just a 'lack of religious belief', it's a positive life stance. Human heartedness is a humanistic approach to living a better life through building a more cohesive, compassionate, values driven society.
In Human Hearted Living, we come together over afternoon tea to share and discuss a poem, song or reading related to humanist values or society building. This is followed by sharing our personal joys and concerns, offering support to each other and building caring relationships.
Ian has contributed "Bread and Roses" as the reading for May.
This event is held at Mary-Anne and David's home, "Cosy Grove" in Evatt. Please contact Mary-Anne via Meetup if you need the address.
