Life is calling.

Notes from Humanity

A Global Listening Campaign collecting the stories, memories, reflections, and expressions that make us human.

Be heard in five simple steps.

BEGIN

We hear you

We ask a single question:

What does it mean to preserve your humanity in the Digital Age?

With every human note, Life Calling responds with action.

As notes accumulate, patterns begin to emerge. Hidden within each response—whether a story, memory, reflection, poem, or drawing—are deeper truths about what people cherish, protect, and believe is essential to a meaningful human life.

Life Calling listens for those signals and directs philanthropic support toward organizations responding to the needs and longings reflected in the archive.

Every three months, Life Calling contributes up to $10,000 to an organization responding to those needs and longings.

We are not asking you for money. We are asking you to share your humanity.

Your contribution is not financial. It is human.

Life Calling transforms that humanity into meaningful action.

Step 1.
Print the card.

The note will automatically format correctly when you press print.

Print at 100% scale for best results.

Step 2.
Write by hand.

Find a quiet space to reflect. Take your time.

Write your response within the boundary of your printed note. We encourage you to write in the language that feels most natural to you. English is not necessary. Cross-outs and scribbles are welcome!

What to write? Share a personal story, memory, or reflection. Write a poem. Draw a picture. The space is yours, and the possibilities are as bountiful as your humanity.

Step 3.
Photograph clearly.

Take a clear photo of your handwritten note.

Photograph from directly above in even light. Avoid shadows, glare, and angled photos.

Step 4.
Add your note to the global archive.

Upload image of your note * First name * Last name * Age * Instagram handle

If your note is featured by Notes from Humanity, we’ll tag you when possible.

Profession * Email Country * Optional: Add Your Voice

A vertical video helps preserve not only your words, but the voice, emotion, and humanity behind them.

Please begin by saying:

“My name is [Name], and this is my Note from Humanity.”

Then read your response.

Anything else you want us to know? By checking this box, I agree to the Notes from Humanity Release Agreement. I confirm that I am 18 or older, or that I have permission from a parent or guardian.

The Four Lines of Connection

At the heart of our mission is Life Calling’s Four Lines of Connection — a simple yet powerful framework for preserving what makes us human: connection to Self, Others, Nature, and Imagination.

More than ideals, these lines are the foundation for thriving in the Digital Age. They guide every campaign, experience, and partnership we lead — shaping how we awaken, foster, and deepen human connection worldwide.

As the archive grows, it continues to reveal the enduring importance of these Four Lines of Connection.
