Roots and Wings

This vision is inspired by many:

  • The wisdom of Indigenous Longhouses, where governance was a shared ceremony

  • Buckminster Fuller’s dream of “a world that works for everyone”

  • Barbara Marx Hubbard’s call to conscious evolution

  • The Harpers of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern, keepers of culture and truth

  • Stanley Pokras’ vision of Social Argonauts, who navigate transformation

  • Jim Garrison, Senior Argonaut, anchor of many of these chains

You can feel these echoes in the soil here.

Poetic Seeds

The inspiration of Our Heart Gardens was born, in part, through the poem “Crow Surgeon.” You can watch Shannon McArthur recite the Crow Surgeon poem.

Shannon’s presentation on Humanity Rising further illuminates the vision.

 

Welcome to Our Heart Gardens 

A world that works for everyone is not just possible—it is already growing.

Our Heart Gardens is a living vision for the transformation of human society, rooted in community, inspired by compassion, and offered as a sacred invitation. It began as a divine response to the heartbreak of seeing people cast aside by systems that failed them. Now, it lives as a growing movement: a pattern, a possibility, a place where people gather to remember how to care for each other, and how to tend the Earth with grace.

This is not a program. It is a pattern to see yourself in. A garden to plant your gifts within. A home for solutions, stories, and sacred belonging. 

 

The Invitation

Our Heart Gardens welcomes:

  • Regenerators and gardeners

  • Investors and vision-holders

  • Teachers and learners

  • Artists, elders, students, healers, dreamers

Whether you carry resources, passion, wisdom, or a longing to belong, there is space here for you. You are not just welcome—you are needed.

You can support this work personally or monetarily. You can link your project to the Garden without giving up its name. You can learn, reflect, or simply be nourished.

Pieces of the puzzle are already arriving:

In time, a map will appear—showing each node of Our Heart Gardens, each fractal offering, with its own unique % of affiliation. Until then, we grow together in faith.
