The Humane Space app is a place to learn, imagine, and explore the human experience. We curate immersive stories and experiences that spark curiosity and widen perspective.

Lifelong learning is a form of voluntary, self-motivated education that typically takes place outside of a formal educational institution. According to Procedia, a social and behavioral science journal, lifelong learning “not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and individual development, but also increases competitiveness and employability.” Research suggests that lifelong learning can keep our brains healthy and increase our sense of fulfillment and self-esteem.

Curiosity is an often overlooked key to greater fulfillment in life. It’s correlated with higher levels of positive emotions, lower levels of anxiety, and greater psychological well-being. Of the 24 character strengths measured by the Via Institute On Character, curiosity was one of the most strongly linked to life satisfaction, work satisfaction, living a pleasurable life, living an engaging life, and living a meaningful life.

Experiencing awe has been found to increase feelings of well-being, life satisfaction and sense of meaning. A 2021 study found that people who feel more awe reported feeling lowered levels of daily stress – suggesting that the sense of vastness that awe elicits can help put our worries into perspective.

The Humane Space is proudly based in beautiful Rockland, Maine.

If you don't see any listings there, it means we don't have any positions available at the moment. You can always check back or follow us on LinkedIn for news about career opportunities.

The Humane Space app helps you find more curiosity, wonder, and awe in your daily life—a powerful way to boost wellbeing.

If you haven't downloaded the app yet, first download it on your app store of choice and follow the instructions to begin your subscription. If you've already downloaded the app, log in and as you try to view content, you'll be prompted to begin a free trial.

There are a few ways you can mark Segments complete. First, on the Home screen, in today's curated list of activities, you'll see a menu with 3 dots next to each content segment. If you tap the dots, you'll see the option to Mark Complete. If you're looking at any content Segment, if you continue to swipe from right to left, you'll reach a screen with a big Mark Complete button in the upper right corner that you can tap. Once you've marked Segments complete, you'll see a check next to that segment indicating it has been completed. If you're tracking your progress on Spaces, you'll see a white ring grow around each Space, indicating how far you are from completing that Space. A check will appear over each Space once it has been completed.

On your app store of choice, download the app for iOS or Android here.

Each day, we curate Segments of original content. We encourage you to explore content Segments in the app by using the Shuffle button next to each activity on the daily menu at the top of the Home Screen. Each Segment shows its length and modality (reading, watching, listening), making it easier to fit curiosity into your day when it's best for you. Individual Segments include:

‍Lingo
‍Audio stories help you reflect on how language shapes our world.

‍Immerse
Explore the world’s wonders with a daily dive into lifelong learning.

‍Deep Think
Deepen self-awareness and unlock hidden insights with contemplative prompts.

‍Mind Journey®
Spark your imagination through guided visualizations.  

‍Awe Walks
Connect with nature and your environment through meditative walks.

You can navigate Segments on our Home screen by scrolling down to see what sparks your curiosity. To navigate within a content story, swipe right/left to move forward/backward. Checks appear next to each segment, letting you know what you've marked complete. When you've completed a segment, keep swiping to the right within the content story until you get to screen with a big button in the upper right that says Mark Complete.

Spaces are groupings of activities based on a particular theme. You can see how much of each Space you've completed by tapping Spaces from the menu at the bottom of the Home screen. You can also see how many segments you've completed in the current month on the My Space area of the app, or by scrolling to the bottom of the Home screen.

The Humane Space app is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Some functionality and graphics may be unavailable on older phones.

To gift The Humane Space app, reach out to us at hi@thehumane.space and we'll create a special gift for your friend or family member.

We will only send you one notification a day to let you know what new daily curiosities are available to explore in the app. You can set what time you want a daily notification to be received. To manage app notifications, first open The Humane Space app. Then, tap "My Space" on the dock fixed to the bottom of the Home screen. Then tap the menu button in the upper right-hand corner and tap Notifications. From there, you can set what time you'd like to receive Notifications and turn them on and off. If you've turned Notifications on in the app, and you're still not receiving them, go into your phone's settings and check to make sure Notifications are turned on there as well for The Humane Space app.

Tapping "Like" at the end of a Segment will help other users find content our community recommends. It's a way for us to know what our community enjoys and helps guide us to create more content that you will find interesting and engaging. Your likes are never shared publicly or within the app with other users.

To search for content within the app, open the app and visit either the Spaces or Mind Journey® areas. Once in those areas, type in a keyword in the search bar on the top of the screen. Results will appear below, where you can also filter by subject and/or activity for Spaces and duration or intention for Mind Journeys®.

You can share Spaces, Segments, Mind Journeys®, and individual content screens within the app. To share content, open the app and navigate to any content screen. Then, on the upper right corner, you'll see a share button. Tap that button and you'll have the option to share the content as a link or as a visual (best for Instagram stories). You can also share an entire Space or Mind Journey® from their areas within the app. Share a Segment by tapping "Share" at the end of each Segment.

At the end of all content Segments, you'll have the opportunity to tap "Mark Complete." Doing so enables the app to help you keep track of what you've finished. On all Spaces, you'll see a white outline that will let you know how much of each Space you have completed. If you see a check covering an entire Space, it means you've completed that Space. Completed individual Segments will also show a check mark next to them.

In addition to tracking what Segments you've completed (see "How do I know what I've completed in the app?"), you can also see how many Segments you've completed during the current month. On the Home screen, if you scroll down, you can see how many Segments you've completed in the current month for each activity. Going to the My Space area of the app will enable you to see how many total Spaces and Segments you've completed.

Currently, The Humane Space is only available in English. Stay tuned for updates.

Mind Journeys® can be experienced anywhere, anytime. We recommend being in a relaxed position, but you could even listen during a busy workday when you need a break. All of our Mind Journeys® have original sound composed by The Humane Space. We recommend, if possible, listening with headphones to get the full effect of the sound experience. Mind Journeys® are meant to help you take the break you're looking for, whether it's a nap, an energizing break, or a relaxing travel experience.

The cost of an annual subscription is $29.99. The cost for a quarterly (3-month) subscription is $15.99. We do pride ourselves on being priced far below comparable apps while providing a premium experience. Prices are subject to change.
