Redefining the human heart to help humanity flourish
We propose that adjusting current health, educational, political and other systems based on a fundamentally new understanding of the human heart will lead to global flourishing and peace.
To bring attention to the scientific revolution around the heart, we started a complex, playful and noteworthy global impact campaign with diverse powerful partners.
Global Heartbloom
In absence of a flowering heart, our minds are easily misled by concepts like matter and soul, gender, race and god, sexual orientation, faith, education, wealth, …
… and hypnotized by what seems to divide us.
Hasn’t this caused suffering for long enough?
Could we have personal and global flourishing if enough of us choose to awaken our flowering hearts?
Executive Summary
Unbeknownst to most, groundbreaking scientific findings indicate that the human heart does more than pump blood and may be an overlooked key to human flourishing.
Thus, the question "What is the purpose of the heart?" should be discussed again.
With screenings of our documentary, panel discussions and more unconventional activities, we aim to catalyze an unprecedented conversation about bold ideas that challenge conventional assumptions.
This global, multidisciplinary conversation could offer uncharted paths towards human flourishing based on a new understanding of the heart's connection to consciousness, emotional and mental health, birth, learning, healing, death, Earth and other core aspects of our lives.
We will deliver hundreds of screenings, three global premieres, a national PBS broadcast, diverse panel discussions, two global synchronized heart meditation events, a potentially viral social media challenge, and additional outputs designed to amplify each other.
Building upon and expanding our collaborations with impactful partners, we strive to take this conversation from nonexistent to mainstream and inspire awe and wonder in 1+ million people by presenting and exploring the scientific evidence that the heart is more than a pump.
Statement of Significance
The Conditions
For centuries, modern science has said the heart's only job is to pump blood. We assume consciousness, compassion, creativity, and everything that makes us human result from brain activity.
The Problem
Despite a century of ever-increasing efforts to understand and optimize our brains and millennia of following religious and spiritual practices, humanity is far from flourishing.
The Opportunity
Breakthrough scientific research overlooked by mainstream media indicates that our heart does more than pump blood. The astonishing findings paint a fundamentally different picture of our human nature and potential.
A global, cross-cultural, inter-faith, multi-disciplinary conversation will present and explore the heart's connection to consciousness, emotional and mental health, birth, learning, healing, death, Earth, and other fundamental aspects of our lives.
Our campaign will also offer an alternative to AI experts, implying that humanity needs to merge with AI to have a flourishing life.
These conversations can lead to unforeseen solutions to global challenges and offer new paths towards flourishing that could improve the lives of billions.
Capacity for Success
Over the last seven years of working on our film and preparing its public engagement campaign, we successfully delivered several complex projects, with funding through philanthropic and private donations and donated time of $619k.
We are highly invested in this campaign because its success will make it easier to produce our two upcoming documentaries, which will further explore the heart, consciousness, health, Earth, and being human.
Our capacity for success is grounded in well-oiled operations, valuable assets and accomplished advisors:
• Our advisors received Oscar nominations and produced impact campaigns with 1000s of screenings reaching millions of people
• A feature documentary with a growing audience and glowing reviews
• Virtual test screenings with 1000+ viewers with diverse background, from health professionals to truck drivers led to glowing reviews
• 27% of test viewers invited their friends/colleagues/family
• Our summit with 60+ experts reached 31,000+ people
• Established partnerships allow us to reach 100,000+ people at campaign launch in February 2026
Campaign Outputs
We will carefully time the outputs to amplify each other within the 24-month campaign duration.
Our target audiences come from all walks of life and all countries. They are curious and open-minded, interested in the convergence of science and spirituality and want a healthy and peaceful world.

A Heart Question
After 7 years of researching the blood circulation, Prof. Pollack and Dr. Li summarize their ground-breaking research as “Something other than the heart is driving the blood circulation.”
Their findings might be the overture of a scientific revolution that could lead to a spiritual revolution.
The question now is, ‘What’s the purpose of the human heart?’
How we Relate to Our Hearts is of Existential Importance.
This film is for you
The Heart Revolution is dedicated to all of us. The unicorns, the princesses and knights, misfits, and rebels.
The forever-young-at-heart, the helpers and healers, lovers and poets. The leaders and saints, scientists and artists. All who have felt that something was wrong or missing. And everyone who felt they did not fit in or belong here.
And, of course, everyone who longs to have a healthy, peaceful, just, and heartful world!
