Our profound global challenges — of climate, culture, sustainability, politics, economics and more — are interconnected and hypercomplex. They are requiring us to transform our ways of being individuals, friends and citizens. A New Republic of the Heart invites spiritual practitioners and change agents to learn, practice, and collaborate in becoming the next-stage human beings who can rise to our collective moment.
What is A New Republic of the Heart?
Who?
Our work serves spiritual practitioners and change agents in over 20 countries who are committed to practicing, growing and collaborating together in order to become more effective citizens, friends and leaders in their own communities.
We do this with an emphasis on three essential dimensions of activism:
- The “inner work” of self-awareness and personal transformation
- The “interpersonal work” of authentic, compassionate relating
- The “outer work” of practical, beneficial action in the world
You’re invited to explore our current initiatives and consider bringing your own compassion, intelligence, creativity and commitment to our collective efforts.
How?
By creating educational experiences, empowering an international practice community and cohering collaborative alliances, we are committed to supporting change agents as they grow into effective citizens and leaders . Below are a few of our first initiatives:
- Influential conversations about our civilizational crisis and opportunity on the State of Emergence podcast
- Our most recent course, Brightening Every Darkness: Collective and Personal Mortality amidst this Crisis
- Our international practice community, the New Republic of the Heart “Social Experiment”
- Free public online events, such as recent Spiritual Friends Amidst Cultural Madness
- Our Voices blog sharing our community’s insights
- Published books and essays, such as A New Republic of the Heart and Being the Change
- A “Movement of Movements” alliance network (in development with Purpose Earth) to cohere activist communities

Explore The Book
Written by our founder Terry Patten, A New Republic of the Heart: A Guide to Inner Work for Holistic Change addresses our global meta-crisis in all its aspects—environmental, economic, political, and cultural. Terry frames our global and societal crises as opportunities and challenges to us, now, personally—in terms that penetrate our usual abstractions and avoidance.
