The Heartline is built on a core belief that how we treat other living beings matters so much. If the dream is to welcome every person on earth, it also means people with radically different opinions will meet face to face. Despite our differences, we are all connected, we all have beating hearts, and we all have to live alongside each other on our one and only planet.

No Discrimination, Ever
No tolerance of racism, transphobia, sexism, ableism, homophobia, classism, speciesism, ageism, or any other form of oppression. No one is more worthy.

Be Respectful
Everyone is different, and everyone has a story you cannot see. Treat others with care, patience, and kindness.

We Honor Consent in All Forms
Respect boundaries on every level. Our time, touch and attention they are gifts we can offer, not something we force on others.

We're Here as Equals
The Heartline has no hierarchy. Everyone's voice matters, and no one speaks for all.

Listen Deeply
We come together to understand each other, not to win arguments. Stay curious, not defensive.

Be Welcoming & Inclusive
Help others feel they belong, especially those who often don't. What feels ordinary to you might be extraordinary for someone else.

Hold Space, Don't Fill It
Loud voices are powerful, but quiet voices need room too. Let’s make sure everyone has a chance to be heard.

Mistakes Happen — Let's Learn Together
We all get it wrong sometimes. Accountability, responsibility, and growth matter more than being flawless.

We Don't Harm or Exclude
Not hidden nor ironic, none is tolerated — harmful language and actions have no place here.

Different Pains and Priorities
What feels urgent to one may not feel the same to another when it comes to what needs to be done. Curiosity is welcome, but pressure is not.

Come As You Are
You don't need to be perfect, prepared, or performative. Your presence and vulnerability is enough.

Different Ways of Living, Loving, and Believing
Queerness, polyamory, monogamy, singleness, religion, spirituality, atheism, neurodivergence, and chosen family all belong here.

Different Speeds, Styles, and Needs
Some are loud, some quiet, some plan, some improvise. All approaches have a place here.

Different ways to contribute
Each person's contribution matters, however it looks.

Plurality & Inclusion
Difference in background, culture, identity, ability, and thought is not a challenge but a treasure.

Hope in Action
Dreaming is not naïve — it's resistance and how real change begins. We believe the world can be better.

Vulnerability Is Strength
Softness and honesty are courage. Sharing what hurts is part of showing up.

Playfulness & Imagination
Joy, art, weirdness, and curiosity fuel us. Serious change needs lightheartedness too.

Safety, Not Control
Community safety matters, but it doesn't come from policing or perfection. It comes from shared care and responsibility.
