Human hearted community of practice (COP)

Event Summary:
The monthly Human Hearted Community of Practice (COP) serves as both a support and encouragement group for individuals seeking to live a more human-hearted life. This initiative is part of Human Hearted Sydney's mission to foster community. Feel free to join us for a session if you're interested!

Who is the COP for?
The COP is designed for those who feel alienated and empty in our finance-driven society and are in search of a new form of community. This community is rooted in human social capacities such as sympathy and friendship, rather than reverting to traditional practices or religion. If you wish to contribute to a supportive community that promotes socially positive values in today's world, we encourage you to come along and explore!

Background: The Meaning Problem in Modern Society
The evolution of modern society has led to the erosion of previous systems of meaning, such as religion and tradition. These have not been replaced by a new ethical framework or community but rather by market values and hyper-individualism. This shift has resulted in a world of material wealth where many individuals feel insecure, isolated, and unlikely to thrive. We now inhabit an atomized society where loneliness and mental health issues, such as anxiety, are on the rise. There is even a term known as ‘deaths of despair’ that describes individuals who turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with their societal isolation, leading to premature death.

More Background: The Solution We Will Explore
The clear solution to the decline of values in modern society is to create alternative forms of community.
