A Conversation with Lauren Henkin, Founder of The Humane Space, Helping People Find Greater Meaning in Life

Lauren Henkin is on a mission to help people live curiously. She is the founder of The Humane Space, a lifestyle company and first-of-its-kind app designed to help people find greater meaning in life through curiosity, wonder, and awe. A trained architect, award-winning visual artist and branding expert with more than two decades in luxury wellness and management, Lauren blends art, design, and humane technology to support mindful living in a distracted world. “I founded The Humane Space because I’ve learned that curiosity through lifelong learning — asking questions, continuously seeking — is as important to my wellbeing as physical fitness or eating healthy foods or getting enough sleep. Our mission is to make the world more humane through the power of curiosity, wonder, and awe.” "The Humane Space app makes it easy and fun to inject more curiosity into your daily life – a powerful way to boost wellbeing. Through immersive learning, contemplation prompts, Mind Journey® guided visualizations, and mindful Awe Walks, you’ll engage in a daily practice of discovery for the mind. All of our content is made by humans, for humans.... Research shows that experiencing curiosity and awe can immensely benefit our mental, physical, and professional health.... The Humane Space is designed to help adults make a daily practice of cultivating curiosity and awe. The app offers a diverse array of interactive educational experiences, contemplative exercises, and playful thought experiments that make it easy and fun to inject more wonder into your life. Engaging with the app helps you carve time out to consider the worlds around you and within you from fresh perspectives – key strategies for living more curiously and finding awe in the everyday." The Humane Space provides content to an oncology department for use by children receiving infusion treatments. They also provide content for a cancer support group in Ireland and will continue to look for opportunities to help communities. Lauren's work has been featured on NPR and in Architectural Digest and leading museums—and is grounded in a mission to inspire wonder and deepen self-connection through intentional, curiosity-driven experiences. Lauren was raised in the Washington, D.C. area and graduation from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. She joined us from her current home in Maine.
