Human Flourishi

The concept of "hearth" as the home's heart is a powerful symbol. In ancient times, the hearth was the place where people cooked their meals, warmed themselves during cold weather, and gathered for storytelling and companionship.

In the modern context, even though many homes may not physically have a hearth or fireplace, the term still evokes images of family, care, warmth and nourishment and hospitality.

Human Flourishing

The concept of Human Flourishing was central to classical Greek philosophy, particularly within the works of Aristotle. He referred to it as "eudaimonia," which is often translated to "happiness," "prosperity," or "flourishing."

To flourish as a human, according to Aristotle, is to live a virtuous life, seek wisdom, cultivate good relationships, and actively contribute to the well-being of the community. It's about realizing one's full potential and living in a way that is true to one's nature and purpose.
