My name is Laura Dawn and welcome to my new podcast series Dear Humanity, exploring the wisdom and science of human flourishing “Dear Humanity” bridges ancient, earth based traditions, mythology and philosophy with cutting-edge fields like psychedelics, creativity, neuroscience, cognitive science, and ecology to address the modern meaning crisis. In times of profound change and uncertainty, this show delves into the heart of what makes us human, asking: How do we lead deeply fulfilling, purposeful and inspired lives – built on the foundation of love, connection, belonging, and altruism – amidst political division, ecological devastation, systemic crises, and the existential threats confronting humanity? Through transformative conversations with the world’s most influential change-makers, innovators, elders and visionary leaders from all walks of life —"Dear Humanity" helps us rediscover what it means to be fully human, unlock our extraordinary capacities, and remember the unbreakable and sacred bond we share with one another and the natural, living world.
