Neohumanism for Adults and Children

Neohumanism is a philosophy of universal kinship—an invitation to recognize our deep connection with all beings and all things. It teaches that compassion begins not only with people and animals, but with the earth itself: the trees, rivers, mountains, and even so-called “non-living” things like air, sunlight, and soil.
