Welcome To The Heart of Cape Town

In a world crying out for connection amidst injustice, violence and destruction, The Heart of Cape Town is a movement for Peace, Love, Kindness and Unity, inviting everyone to embrace a heart-centred way of living: “Live From Your Heart.”

At Heart of Cape Town, we believe that:

Love is stronger than hate
Peace begins with understanding
Kindness has the power to transform
Unity is possible when we see one another with compassion

“Each and every human being on the planet today can – and should – play a role in shifting consciousness from fear to love, from war to peace, and this is done through healing our hearts, both at an individual and collective level.”

James Fernie, UthandoSA

Uthando means Love, and if there was ever a time in the world to propagate a message of peace, compassion and love, that time is right now.

“In the end, love is the only thing that will save us.”

Adrienne Belafonte Biesemeyer, Lovenaire & Global Advocate

Join us as we build a future shaped by the values of the heart, carried through into Love in Action.

The Heart of Cape Town is a Uthando (Love) South Africa initiative.

We all feel what other people are going through whether we are conscious of it or not.

At a deep level we are all affected by the horrifying and unimaginable tragedy of war, violence and division.

At a distance it appears there is not much that each of can do, but in truth each and everyone of us can act as a “Lighthouse of Love, Kindness and Peace”.

This state of being comes from our HEARTS.

We are all one.

We are all Brothers and Sisters.

With all of our differences, arguments, disagreements and battles we have forgotten that we are all one life together.

Hearts of peace, kindness and love are spreading ...

"In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can often feel that peace is far away. Let us love, live in peace and be kind to one another ... to make our communities and the world a better place."

"Doing good is the fuel which feeds our soul. It's the essence to our existence and should drive all our goals. Where there is no goodness, love cannot thrive, inviting the presence of hatred vanity, envy, misery and strife. Let us, one by one, connect our hearts and restore our spirit through healing the broken parts. Let us return to the essence of life - goodness and love - which is far, far above everything else, bringing meaning to our conscious self Let us dig deep down into our hearts to summons and ignite that majestic thing called love.

Join hearts with us as we unite from person to person, organisation to organisation, community to community, city to city, state to state, country to country, continent to continent, reaching to the ends of the earth to conquer hate and to spread the love." www.theheartofcapetown.org
