The Heart
Revolution

 A poetic science documentary redefining the human heart to help you flourish 

How can you have inner peace, growth and a flourishing life?

How can we have intercultural peace, growth and blooming?

It all starts in your heart

The Film

Our poetic science documentary takes you on a journey through life, from before our first heartbeat to beyond the last, playfully exploring what our heart is all about.

In every chapter of life, from pregnancy to birth, learning to walk and talk, going to school and using our brain, falling in love, becoming parents, to growing old, and dying, our heart plays an overlooked yet existential role.

If you think your heart is only a pump, you're in for a big surprise ...

Your heart is not
what you think it is …

A new era …

As astonishing as it may sound, scientists have found solid evidence that our heart's primary purpose is very likely not pumping blood.

This could be the beginning of a new era.

Cutting-edge studies echo what spiritual traditions have told us for millennia. Embodying 'a flowering state' of our heart is the key to having inner and intercultural peace and flourishing.

And it all begins during pregnancy, close to the mother's heart, ...

What if your heart is the key to a flourishing life?
