Origin
Story
Purpose Earth's origin story stretches back decades when a seed of inspiration was planted in 1970, during a sociology professor's morning lecture at Tulane University. For co-founder Emanuel Kuntzelman, it would be a pivotal moment amplifying his vision of purpose in creating a thriving and peaceful planet.
Purpose Earth was launched in 2019, when Greenheart International co-founders Emanuel Kuntzelman and Laura Rose, and UNITY EARTH’s founder Ben Bowler, aligned in the belief that purpose and peace are powerful tools for transformation.
An experimental partnership was born. Purpose Earth embodies a pathway toward global change. It is an evolution of Emanuel and Laura’s earlier projects including Greenheart Transforms and Global Purpose Movement, and UNITY EARTH’s mission to accelerate the realization of unity and peace around the world. Today, Purpose Earth’s story continues to inspire each of us to find our unique sense of purpose and use it for the good of the whole.
