HEART
Since our launch in 2000, the team at HiHumans has worked tirelessly to promote our cause. We are fortunate to have volunteers and staff from all walks of life who bring their unique expertise and resources into everything we do. This is what enables us to achieve our goals year after year.
While there is always more that can be done, there is no doubt that we are making a significant impact. We don’t measure our success through just facts and figures, but through happy faces and heartwarming feedback. See how you can become part of the difference.
Heart Meetings are simple frameworks and methods created by HejHumans for using presence to speak to each other's hearts and create a place of trust, care and curiosity together.
Heart Meetings are about recognizing and relating to someone else on a level that all humans have in common. Recognizing and relating makes us feel connected and strong together. It creates safety in a group, it unlocks potential and creativity, connections to feelings and to develop together.
​
All people have basic psychological and emotional needs. We need to feel that we belong, that we fit in. We need to feel safe and cared for by others. We need to feel that our life has meaning and purpose. We need to feel that people see us, hear us and value us.
Psychological safety is about feeling safe enough in a group to dare to say what you feel and think, to question or think differently from the group. Several studies show that psychological safety promotes innovation and development. It also contributes to increased well-being and higher performance.
​
Heart Meetings are about taking a moment to get in touch with our inner needs and desires, and being able to see and share them with others.
When you are in a social context with lots of people and information, you often end up on autopilot, how you usually behave socially and what you talk about. You want to be part of the group, and you take on different roles.

Our groups exist as a place to come and actively listen to others share from their inner world, and have people listen to you. It is a place to get support in navigating the ups and downs of life, while creating a deeper connection with yourself and other people.
Authentic Relating
Authentic Relating is a method which is built on active listening and sharing. We do different exercises where people sit, often in pairs, and share around different subjects important in life and for well-being. Read more about it here.
