What it means to be a part
Being part of The Heartline is about connection, not obligation. There are no requirements to join, and no expectations once you’re in. The only thing you agree to is respecting and honoring the core values. Everything else is up to you.
Membership should never feel heavy. If at any point it does, don’t hesitate to step back, take a break, or even leave if you need to. You’re always welcome to return when it feels right. Unless you’re okay with it and still actively choose to take part in activities, The Heartline should feel light—like a gentle hand on your shoulder, ready for when you want to engage with it..
What I want you to remember most is that everything happens on your terms. You do what you want, when it fits, and what you can. Being part of The Heartline should never feel like a burden. If it does, then we’ll look together at how to change it. It’s always okay to step back, take a break, and return when you feel ready.
How to join The Heartline
The intention behind the way it works is to promote connection, encourage minimal and consistent engagement that feel meaningful, impactful, and durable.
There will be a few ways to join, but let's go over the main one, and let’s take it step by step:
The way people join is designed to keep human connection at the center. It’s not about signing up with an email and disappearing into a database—it begins with real people, real moments.
Here’s how it works:
-
You’re invited by someone who’s already part of The Heartline.
-
You meet in person—for a coffee, a walk, or at a Heartline meeting.
-
If you decide to join, hopefully the person who invited you can help create your profile and introduce you to the community.
-
From there, you’re free to explore: you can join a local gathering, post a dream or idea on the website, continue the work you’re already doing, or simply stay connected quietly until you’re ready to do more.
The goal is not to pull people in quickly, but to give anyone a place where they can belong—at their own pace and in their own way.
Take part – maybe the first step
Membership is never one-size-fits-all. People take part in different ways, depending on who they are, what they love, and what they have the energy for. If unsure of where to start we’ve created a few tools and paths for guidance and inspiration:
-
Utopia – theory and guide: Understand what it is, why it is important, and how to practice picturing better alternative ways the world could look – that benefit everyone –, what is realistic and how to move towards that world.
-
Finding one's place – guide: A gentle tool for understanding how you can contribute your best in the world, while also fitting to your abilities, interests and energy.
-
Practical exercises: Small activities you can do alone or together with others. The practices are meant to be fun and explorative, and you can alter them as you wish.
-
Help with The Heartline: Directly help with the project, from practical tasks to creative inputs.
Some people thrive in gatherings. Some contribute quietly online. Some use the Heartline mostly as inspiration for their everyday lives. All of these ways are valid. What matters is that you feel supported, connected, and free to grow at your own rhythm.
What we do
As a member, you’ll find there are generally two kinds of activities:
-
Heartline activities: gatherings, activities, events or If you wish to help with the Heartline project itself (e.g. with the website or helping at a meeting).
-
HeartLine activities: what you do in your own life and community. One can bring The Heartline energy into their work, friendships and local projects. One may also find something through the website like dreaming together, make connections, join projects and support each other.
The Heartline doesn’t replace anything—it adds a thread of meaning, connection, and support that can weave into everything else that we’re already doing.
