### Hello Human Connect’s origins:
There is massive “unlearning” of biases that has to happen for us all to move forward to a place where we can all call each other human beings and not by other labels.
Why do we generally have a fear to speak out about injustices or a fear to speak deeply with each other. I, like many, had to overcome the fear of being judged. Not doing anything to try to save our collective humanity is a cost too large to bear for my conscience.
Speaking to each other honestly and without judgement can be so powerful.
What is happening in the world is saddening. A lot of it has to do with the many “us vs them” events that takes place on this rock hurtling through space.
So I invite all you beautiful humans to come and co-create together, for all of us.
The event is dialogue based, where people can come to discuss their “-isms” from a place of wanting to understand and unlearn. ie. “why is it racist if I say this…”, “I don’t understand how to be an ally to women or minorities”, “how do I deal with people who want me to use different pronouns”, etc.
Deep and potentially hot topics but we have a safe space for people like you who want to take and be the first step of change in their own lives and make friends beyond their regular homogeneous groups.
Watching the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu go through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission talks when apartheid ended in South Africa makes me believe that there is something powerful in dialogue and forgiveness.
So Hello Human Connect is a mix of two concepts:
-
“Ubuntu” – a concept in which your sense of self is shaped by your relationships with other people. It’s a way of living that begins with the premise that “I am” only because “we are.”
-
Kintsugi – the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The beauty of the repaired object incorporates the fact that it was previously broken. The idea being that the dialogue and understanding is the golden bond that reunites all the splintered labels and definitions of self into a functioning beautiful whole again.
So come to connect, share, learn, eat a snack and meet some fantastic humans IRL(in real life)!
See you there.
