The Covid19 pandemic has exposed how the current systems have failed. In every society there are systemic inequalities that privilege wealth over wellbeing. Fundamental change is needed. IHMA seeks to protect human dignity to create flourishing communities that nurture societal well being. We stand for individual freedom, relating authentically with love and co-creating with compassion.
Our Vision
Society should be organized to honor the inherent value of all life and create a better future. The economy should be organized to work for all and not just a select few. Organizing practices should protect human dignity and promote flourishing.
Our Goal
Our goal is to create and amplify economic, social and psychological flourishing to protect all life on earth.
