THE HUMANITY CHARTER
expresses a collective vision for our times:
for humanity to come together in unity to transform
our divided world into a united home for the Earth family.
The Humanity Charter is a dynamic, living document that crystallises
humanity’s timeless wisdom and emerging knowledge across our diverse cultures.
It integrates the inputs and echoes the experiences of innumerable pioneers of transformation across all sectors, disciplines and continents.
Launched on International Peace Day 21 September 2019,
the Charter is the aspirational guide for a growing Earth Home Alliance.
Home for Humanity’s mission
aims to actualize the Humanity Charter.

HUMANITY CHARTER COMPASS
Navigating All Dimensions of Integral Life
This visual depicts the Humanity Charter as a circle of life:
a cyclical, integral, dynamic life-based process of transformation and ongoing renewal.
The cycle begins in the Centre with Humanity,
then proceeds to Nature in the South, Culture in the East, Wisdom in the North
and Systems in the West, to return to the Centre of Unity.
We aim to actualise the Humanity Charter’s vision and aspirations
through a sequence of
Transformative Programmes and Earth Journeys
corresponding to these realms of cyclical renewal.
Each of these life-changing living-learning journeys ignite participants
to their full human potential and creative capacities to innovate and enact
personal and planetary transformation for our shared future on our Home Planet.
