About us
Welcome to Human Hearted Sydney.
We are a supportive, inclusive community of people with shared values in the Sydney metropolitan area. We are founded on the principle of human hearted connection and compassion to support each other in solving life’s problems.
We are a local community of Humanists Australia. All are welcome to participate in our human hearted community of practice and our other in-person events and projects to learn, connect and contribute to a flourishing world.
About Human Heartedness: The modern world’s focus on competition and materialism makes it easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. The collapse of traditional sources of meaning like religion and local community intensify this so that we’re often left with a lack of meaning and purpose. We can try to fill the void with money and success—or to numb it with drugs and technology— but nothing seems to work. Human heartedness reminds us that the path to living well doesn’t come from money and power, but from building on the best in our own human hearts. Our human social potential. It points to a better way: to build in-person communities that build on our innate social potential and inherent value as humans. By building good relationships and social connections, we can live a more fruitful and fulfilling life (and help others to do the same). We can move from struggling alone to flourishing together. Following the human hearted way offers a secular, inclusive, forward looking solution to the meaning crisis of our times.
