About The Humane Space

What is The Humane Space?

The Humane Space is a wellness company that helps people live more meaningful lives through lifelong learning, curiosity, and awe. Through The Humane Space app, we curate multimedia stories and thoughtful daily prompts that feed curiosity and widen perspective, encouraging you to consider the worlds beyond and within.

Why is lifelong learning important?

Lifelong learning is a form of voluntary, self-motivated education that typically takes place outside of a formal educational institution, such as a school or university. 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.

Why is it important to live more curiously?

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.

Why is it important to incorporate awe into my daily 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.

Where is your company based?

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

About The App

What is The Humane Space app?

The Humane Space app helps you find more curiosity, wonder, and awe in your daily life—a powerful way to boost well-being. Every day, we release new awe-inspiring multimedia stories on topics ranging from fractals to fungi to philosophy. Through immersive learning, guided visualizations, and contemplation prompts, you’ll engage in a simple daily practice of self-care for the mind.


Curious? Here’s how it works: Every Monday, we launch a new Space—a multimedia series themed around a single curiosity-sparking question, like Is immortality attainable? or Is sight the most powerful sense? Every weekday, you’ll unlock a new multimedia story, presented in three super engaging, quick-hit experiences: Lingo, Immerse, and Deep Think. Lingo energizes your mind with poetic meditations on language; Immerse inspires wonder with deep dives into diverse topics; and Deep Think cultivates self-reflection and mindfulness with interactive prompts. On weekends, you’ll take a relaxing mental vacation with Mind Journeys™, guided visualizations that transport you to awe-inspiring locations around the world, from Iceland to the Grand Canyon. Emerge from each week feeling mentally rejuvenated, reconnected to an expansive state of curiosity about yourself and the world around you.
