Welcome to Dear Humanity, a podcast born from the heart of a transformative era. In this trailer, host Laura Dawn introduces the vision behind the show—a powerful invitation to explore what it means to be fully human during this time of profound change.

We are living through the ending of an era, a time that many elders call the Great Turning. As the old ways dissolve, we find ourselves in the midst of a collective Rite of Passage—a Great Restructuring that is reconfiguring every aspect of our lives. This podcast is for those who feel the call to step forth, midwifing this change with courage, creativity, compassion, and care.

Through transformative conversations with influential change-makers, elders, visionaries, and innovators, Dear Humanity dives into the essential questions of our time:

• How do we live and lead deeply purposeful and inspired lives amidst political division, ecological devastation, and systemic crises?

• How do we stay grounded and resilient while supporting meaningful work without succumbing to burnout or despair?

• How do we reimagine and create systems rooted in love, connection, belonging, and wisdom that render the old ways obsolete?

This show bridges ancient wisdom traditions with cutting-edge fields like psychedelics, creativity, neuroscience, cognitive science, and ecology to address the modern meaning crisis and illuminate the frontiers of human flourishing.

Laura Dawn describes this as more than a podcast—it is a transmission for those who feel the true gravity of this moment and the call to contribute to the Great Restructuring.

Together, we explore what it means to unlock our extraordinary capacities, strengthen the bonds that connect us to one another and the natural world, and step into leadership for a new era.
