    Section Background

    We don’t think of cultivating wonder, curiosity, and awe as wellness. We should—for our health, our spirit, and more meaningful lives.

    Enter The Humane Space. We curate thoughtful daily prompts and experiences that feed curiosity and widen perspective, encouraging you to consider the worlds beyond and within.

    Section Background

    Let your mind wander.

    We’re building an app to encourage lifelong learning and introspection through a daily practice. In the Space, absorbable, curated prompts and experiences unfold in multi-sensory formats that arouse the imagination—sparking curiosity, flexing the mind, and empowering you to get outside of yourself and consider the world beyond.

    How we’re different.

    • We’re curious.

      We’re comfortable asking complex questions and love delving into unexplored terrain.

    • We’re interdisciplinary.

      We’ll open conversations between economics and poetry; math and color theory; linguistics and astronomy and much more. We’ve all got multiple interests in life; let’s not confine learning to just one subject at a time. We’ll surprise you with how connected these topics are.

    • We’re dynamic.

      We get bored easily with most learning platforms. We’ll wow you with the variety of our content, presented in multi-media.

    • We’re curated.

      No more searching for interesting content. We bring it to you, every day on our app. Our curators go down the rabbit hole looking for the most interesting, inspiring and relevant prompts. We’re also collaborating with incredible guest curators, including you!

      Our story.

      The Humane Space is proudly based on the coast of Maine, where we can encourage staff to feed their own curiosity and enjoy the wonder and awe of this beautiful landscape.

      Our founder, Lauren Henkin, is an award-winning artist. She studied architecture in school, where she enjoyed the benefits of interdisciplinary learning and an environment that encouraged discovery, expansive thinking and asking questions. Her love of nature began in childhood, on many walks in the woods with her father.

      The idea for The Humane Space was born with the realization that lifelong learning should be a part of any wellness regimen. We wanted to build a space for daily practice of deep thinking and inter-disciplinary learning—without a classroom, without the need for tests, without the pressure to memorize—simply for the joy of delving into something new.
