Community of Practice 🗣️ - Human Hearted Sydney 🌻

Join our monthly Community of Practice (COP) where we discuss the ideas of Human Heartedness: an approach to life that promotes empathy and social connection. Each meeting we discuss these concepts and how they can help us in practical ways to live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives. The meeting is followed by an optional lunch together nearby. This is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and find your local community!

📍 Where: Darling Square Library, Level 1 - Ideas Space 2 (see directions)
🎟️ Cost: Free
🧑‍🦱 Who should come: anyone looking to meet new people and build connections with like-minded Sydneysiders. We’re queer-friendly and welcome people from all ages and backgrounds :)

About Human Heartedness: The modern world makes it easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. Without traditional sources of meaning like religion and local community we’re often left with a lack of meaning and purpose. We can try to fill that void with money and success—or to numb it with drugs and technology— but nothing seems to work. Human Heartedness suggests there’s a better way: to build in-person communities focused on our innate social potential and inherent value as humans. Human heartedness reminds us that the path to living well comes from building on the best in our own human hearts. By encouraging good relationships and social connections, we believe 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. The human hearted way is an alternative path to modernity’s hyper individualism and materialism. It’s also a secular, inclusive, forward looking alternative that does not require worshipping the external idols of religion or nationalism. The answer lies within our human hearts.

About the Community of Practice (COP): Our human hearted community of practice (COP) offers a friendly welcoming environment in which we support and encourage each other to live more human hearted lives. Our goal is to build a community that supports us all to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. If you are looking for a way out of the alienation and emptiness of our modern finance driven society, if you’re looking for a new form of community based on our shared humanity rather than based on returning to religion and other traditional practices, we suggest visiting our COP. Or, more simply, if you would like to be part of building a supportive community for living out socially positive values in today’s world we encourage you to come along and check the COP out.
