1. We are born with a capacity to 'witness' our own thoughts, emotions, energy states, desires, intuition, etc. We can 'watch' our thoughts and consciously feel what we are feeling. The more we develop this 'witness within' the more 'alive' we become. In Heart Circles members work deliberately with expanding their witnessing capacity.

2. As human beings, we all face the same challenge: to move from living in our conditioned, unconscious wants (the Matrix) to living from consciously feeling what we truly want (the Heart). Heart Circles provide a place for members to practice discernment between these two very different realities.

3. Whenever people sit together consciously to share what they are feeling in the moment and wanting in their lives, bonding occurs spontaneously. When bonding occurs consistently, friendships form. Strong friendships create community. This is what happens in a Heart Circle by design.

4. We are going through perilous times. The corporate centralized systems we have created to support vast consumer lifestyles cannot sustain us without radical re-invention. Every one of us is being called into the mystery of how this will unfold. Heart Circles provide members with a place to respond to these times creatively and cooperatively.

5. The ultimate purpose of life is to both enjoy and participate in the majesty of life itself. In Heart Circles, this is not some theory to discuss. It's a 'practice' that occurs within the Circle and then blended into daily life.

Heart Circles are springing up all around the world because this model satisfies a deep longing that millions of people share for personal joy and transformation, for friendship and community and for support in these transitional times.
