Gather around the hearth with us to experience, learn, connect & feel with hundreds of changemakers like you! Can't join us IRL? We don’t want you to miss out! 🌎💻 Explore our stories and join the journey at hearth-summit.org.

Something quietly powerful happened in the final months of 2025. In Kuwait, people rediscovered healing inside their own heritage — through family circles, music, and the kind of conversations that don't end when the summit does. In Dallas, artists and changemakers reminded us that imagination isn't a luxury. It's a requirement for building something better. In Bangalore, we were reminded that burnout isn't a personal failure — it's a signal. And that no changemaker is ever truly alone. Before we announce where the Hearth is traveling next (very soon!), we wanted to pause and honor what these gatherings gave us — and the communities that made them what they were. Where do you hope the Hearth travels next? Tell us in the comments. 👇 @env_earth @BlrCreativeCirc #HearthSummit #CollectiveWellbeing #CommunityCare #SystemicChange #SocialImpact #FutureOfWellbeing #HearthSummitKuwait #HearthSummitDallas #HearthSummitBangalore #2026

How often do you take care of what’s going on inside so your work can last? Too many changemakers treat intimacy, healing, and emotional wellbeing as “extras.” The cost? Strained relationships, burnout, and work that starts to feel heavy. At #HearthSummit2025, @Louisa_Zondo and @kuminaidoo reminded us that caring for your inner life isn’t indulgent. It’s essential. 🔗 Watch their plenary below: youtube.com/watch?v=u8vhU5jt…

In 2025, something powerful unfolded. Across 11 countries, 2,600 changemakers gathered around the Hearth to remember a simple truth: care is the foundation of lasting social change. Together, we built spaces of belonging, shared tools, and cross-border communities that will live on. When we take care of each other, the work becomes sustainable—and unstoppable. Thank you to every organizer, participant, and community who made this possible. This is the future of impact: regenerative, connected, and rooted in care. This is our future around the Hearth. ❤️‍🔥
