HEARTH aims to embody our namesake by forming a vital and creative gathering place for all those who share a common home, the earth. In recognition of the great disparities of power, knowledge and wisdom between different groups, we facilitate mutual learning, reciprocity and collaboration between researchers and local communities. Through sound and respectful research, storytelling, and action, HEARTH brings together knowledge holders, storytellers, practitioners, policy-makers, philosophers and creatives to manifest our common goal of biocultural diversity on a thriving planet.
