Our Story

The concept of The Heart Space Community began in 2007 in Cape Town, South Africa. We wanted to create a gentle, creative space at outdoor festivals for those seeking deeper discovery and experience in the arts of heart-centred living.



We began forming connections with pro-active organizations and individuals as we invited them to share their knowledge, skills and talents with those wishing to experience The Heart Space.

The Heart Space grew and more and more Heartists - those wishing to be pro-active and volunteer time and energy to become the change they wish to see - began seeking out ways to do good with others doing the same.

We realized there are countless individuals out there making a positive impact for the higher good of all: some occupying and sharing their own personal gifts and skills, some forming organizations and foundations for learning, skills development and total well-being and others simply coming together and mobilizing initiatives to make a big difference through small acts of kindness.



So as you can see, The Heart Space is not so much a particular place or event or group of people. The Heart Space is more a state of being, a presence within each of us that actively chooses to be the good we want to feel. The Heart Space is wherever we come together to initiate, support and nurture heart-centred living.

Heart Space Hogsback is a heartbeat in the ever-growing community that is The Heart Space. Founded and nurtured by a family of Heartists, this space offers visitors the opportunity to feel a connection with Earth Mother, support local artists, get involved in community upliftment and youth development initiatives and explore aspects of living in harmony with nature and the heart.

Heart Space Hogsback supports the Cape Parrot Project by raising and spreading awareness and volunteering assistance when needed.

"The primary aim of the Cape Parrot Project is to mitigate all current extinction threats (i.e. continued logging, disease and illegal traid) through community-based conservation initiatives (e.g. nest box construction and tree planting schemes) and collaborating with local government and other NGOs."

We also support the Samango Monkey Project by raising and sharing awareness. 

These beautiful creatures spend a lot of time at Heart Space Hogsback and we feel blessed to share this beautiful habitat with them.
