Inspiring positive change

For over thirty five years, The Humanity Initiative has featured the voices of over 300 writers, philosophers, educators, photographers, poets, musicians, and actors — each keenly tuned to life on Earth, each highly inspirational.

We first presented these voices in our journal, humanity, equal parts non-fiction and photography. In 1995, the internet offered more efficient outreach to the world.

Now — in the midst of dramatic systemic changes across the continents — THI is re-imagining our digital presence, curating content into a highly accessible and cross-referenced format.

We also have posted our blueprint for peace gatherings and are soon to reload our popular archive of inspirational commencement speeches. We are working on a worldwide high-school course on positive change as well.

A determined team of four volunteers on three continents, we seek to expand our outreach on the strength of modest donations. Your generosity and kindness are deeply appreciated!

Here is Jacqueline Wigglesworth, our colleague for twenty years, speaking from the heart chakra of the planet, in Glastonbury, England making the case for redeeming our humanity.

Please join us! Thank you.

Jacqueline, Ky, Lee, and Tony

Peru Girl Wi Dog 1

In the 1980’s — in the Peruvian countryside above the ancient village of Cuzco — Belgium photographer Victor Englebert, riding a bus, saw this young girl waiting alone at the next stop.

She did not move as the bus approached…or departed...just long enough for Victor to honor her journey.
