Life gives us a lot to talk about.
HumanKind is a weekly online community where we come together to share the stories of our real lives.
The people we love
The people who drive us crazy
What we’re trying to figure out
Moments we can’t stop thinking about
Things that make us laugh
Things that make us cry
Things that make us question ourselves
Moments that change how we see life
Real people. Real stories. Real connection.
Who Do You Tell?
Because life is better when you have people to share it with.
Think about how many things happen in your life that you want to tell someone about.
Something your partner said.
A situation with your mother.
A friendship that suddenly feels different.
Something that happened at work.
A decision you’re wrestling with.
Something hilarious that nobody else would quite understand.
A memory from twenty years ago that suddenly came back.
Or something that happened this morning and you simply have to tell somebody.
♥︎
That’s what HumanKind is for.
A place to bring the stories of your life—and become part of the stories unfolding in the lives of others.
Join The GroupEveryone has a story.
Something interesting happens when we share our stories with other people.
A story about your mother —and someone remembers something about theirs.
A story about friendship —and suddenly you see one of your own relationships differently.
An embarrassing moment —and the whole group is laughing with you.
A life completely different from yours — and for a few minutes, you see the world through another human being’s eyes.
One person tells the story. Everyone gets something from it.
Sometimes another person’s story helps us understand our own.
Come with a story
Anything that makes us human.

The funny stories.
The painful stories.
The beautiful stories.
The you-will-not-believe-what-happened stories.
And sometimes, the seemingly ordinary stories that turn out not to be ordinary at all.
Real life makes the best stories.
What We Do
Leave with a different perspective.
HumanKind isn’t about giving advice or telling each other how to live.
How we show up
We listen.
We get curious.
We ask questions.
We reflect.
We share our own experiences.
And somewhere in the conversation, something shifts.
You see a situation differently.
You understand another person in a new way.
You recognize yourself in someone you thought was nothing like you.
You remember something from your own life.
You laugh. You think. You connect.
And sometimes you leave with an entirely different perspective on the story you brought in.
What happens each week?
One hour. Real conversation.
Every week is different.
We meet live online with Dr. Joshi, founder of the Vedic Psychology Institute.
01
We begin with real life
A story. A situation. A relationship. A question. Something someone wants to bring to the group.
02
The conversation unfolds
Dr. Joshi guides with curiosity, thoughtful questions, humor and reflection. Members listen, respond, and share their own experiences.
03
Every week is different
No two gatherings are ever the same—because no two weeks of life are ever the same.
Some conversations are hilarious. Some are moving. Some are thought-provoking. And some stay with you long after the gathering ends.
This isn’t group therapy.
It’s Community.
HumanKind is built around something very simple that can be surprisingly hard to find: a group of people with whom you can share real life.
♡ People you laugh with.
♡ People whose stories you come to know.
♡ People who remember yours.
♡ People who become familiar faces in your week.
♡ People you learn from.
♡ And people you look forward to seeing again.
Because life feels different when you’re living it in good company.
Join The CommunityYou Don’t Have to Be a Storyteller.
You don’t need to know how to tell a great story. And you definitely don’t need to have an extraordinary life.
You Just Need To Have a Story.
Your ordinary Tuesday.
Your complicated relationship.
Your family drama.
Your hilarious misunderstanding.
That thing you’re still trying to figure out.
There’s a story worth sharing.
Meet Dr. Joshi
Curious About the Stories That Shape Our Lives.
Vedic Psychologist & Founder of the Vedic Psychology Institute
For more than 15 years, Dr. Joshi has been fascinated by people and the stories that shape their lives.
As a psychologist, educator and co-founder of the Vedic Psychology Institute, she has spent thousands of hours listening to people tell the stories of their relationships, families, struggles, choices and lives.
HumanKind grew from a simple realization:
We can learn an extraordinary amount about ourselves when we become genuinely curious about one another.
In HumanKind, Dr. Joshi brings that curiosity to every gathering—asking the questions that take a story somewhere unexpected, noticing connections between people’s experiences, and creating conversations that are meaningful, lively and deeply human.
Maybe you’ve been looking for your people.
Not people who have the same life as you. Not people who agree with everything you say. Just people who are curious about life—and about each other.
People willing to listen.
People willing to laugh.
People willing to share.
People willing to get real.
That’s HumanKind.
And there’s room in the circle for your story, too.
