Who we are

A Candle. A Conversation. A Call to Reconnect.

Hi, I’m KC Cupp—founder of the Human 2 Human Project and co-founder of Buttercupp Candles, which I run alongside my wife, Jennifer. What started as a simple idea around our kitchen table has become something bigger than either of us imagined: a movement to help people slow down, put down their phones, and truly see each other again.

Human 2 Human began with one small but powerful question:

What if lighting a candle could create space for real connection—even with someone you might not agree with?

In a world overwhelmed by noise, conflict, and distraction, I’ve come to believe that presence is one of the greatest gifts we can offer each other. Not opinions. Not arguments. Just presence.

So we created a simple practice:
Light a candle. Leave the phone. Show up. Listen. Connect.
That’s it. No app. No agenda. Just 60 minutes of intentional, human-to-human connection.

It’s about creating a shared rhythm—a moment to breathe, talk, heal, and remember that before we are anything else, we are human.

Buttercupp Candles gave us the spark.
Human 2 Human carries the flame.

Thanks for being here.

Whether you light the candle around your dinner table, at a family gathering, in a classroom, or just with a friend who needs to be heard—I hope this practice helps you rediscover the beauty of simply being together.
