The Human 2 Human Project
Light. Listen. Connect.
Human 2 Human helps people reconnect with what matters most—each other.
At the center of Human 2 Human is a candle, symbolizing a simple practice of creating space —a phone-free moment where conversation replaces scrolling and connection begins.
Whether you’re sitting with a friend, a family member, or someone you may not agree with, Human 2 Human creates space for listening, learning, and healing. We believe that presence is more powerful than opinion, and that one intentional moment can begin to bridge even the deepest divide.
The Practice: Light. Listen. Connect.
Light
Light the candle for 60 minutes minimum. Creating the space to be with a friend, a family member, or someone you may not agree. Let the flame mark the beginning of deep understanding and openness.
Listen
Leave your phone in another room. Sit across from a friend, a family member, or someone you may not agree with. Ask questions, listen more than you speak.
Connect
Let go of the urge to fix, defend, or convince. Be fully present. Let empathy do the work. Let connection around your humanity begin.
This is the Human 2 Human practice.
Do it around a table, in a classroom, on your couch, or at a gathering. Anyone can start it. Everyone needs it.
Human 2 Human began with one small but powerful question:
What if lighting a candle could create space for real connection—even with someone you might not agree with?
In a world overwhelmed by noise, conflict, and distraction, I’ve come to believe that presence is one of the greatest gifts we can offer each other. Not opinions. Not arguments. Just presence.
So we created a simple practice:
Light a candle. Leave the phone. Show up. Listen. Connect.
That’s it. No app. No agenda. Just 60 minutes of intentional, human-to-human connection.
This project isn’t about selling candles (you can use any candle you have).
It’s about creating a shared rhythm—a moment to breathe, talk, heal, and remember that before we are anything else, we are human.

The Human To Human Candle has a 60-hour burn time. That’s 60 one hour meaningful conversations.
In a world full of noise, division, and distraction, Human 2 Human invites us back to what matters most—each other.
It starts with one small act:
Lighting a candle and setting everything else aside.
This isn’t about agreeing. Healing begins with eye contact, not a comment thread.
It’s about showing up. With love. With humility. With your complete attention.
Because before we are anything else—opinions, roles, or labels—we are human.
