Join Dr. Jean Houston, Dr. Thomas Verny and other mythic evocators. We’re gathering writers and visionaries, to tell the NEW story of Humanity.
What if the story that could heal humanity begins before conception?
If you feel inspired by the heart, vision, and deeper DNA of this project, send me an email with the subject line: “Birthing Humanity Script” and I’ll personally send you the screenplay. The script is written, but we are now inviting thoughtful collaborators to help shape its final evolution and refinement. Birthing Humanity is an open-source community art project inspired in part by the mentorship, sacred psychology, and human potential work of Dr. Jean Houston.

Birthing Humanity is a collaborative screenplay exploring how trauma, genius, consciousness, and human potential are passed from one generation to the next—long before a child is even consciously chosen.
If humanity is going to tell a new story, perhaps we must begin before the trauma is handed down.
Perhaps we begin where life itself begins.
A cinematic collaboration bringing together writers, thinkers, scientists, artists, and visionaries to explore what becomes possible when humanity starts healing before the beginning.

WHAT IS BIRTHING HUMANITY?
- A collaborative screenplay and cinematic storytelling project
- Exploring trauma, healing, prenatal development, consciousness, and human potential
- Asking how humanity changes when healing begins before conception
- Bringing together writers, visionaries, scientists, artists, and humanitarians
- Designed to inspire cultural reflection, conversation, and transformation through story
Why This Matters
Every generation inherits both trauma and possibility.
Science, psychology, epigenetics, prenatal development, and lived human experience increasingly point toward a profound reality:
Much of who we become begins forming long before birth.
Birthing Humanity asks a larger question:
What happens when humanity becomes conscious of the stories, wounds, environments, and emotional patterns we pass down before a child even enters the world?
And what becomes possible when we begin changing the story at the beginning?

YOU’RE NOT JUST WATCHING THIS STORY—YOU CAN HELP WRITE IT
Birthing Humanity is not simply a screenplay.
It is an open collaborative storytelling movement exploring how humanity heals itself through awareness, relationship, storytelling, and conscious creation.
We believe stories shape culture. And culture shapes humanity.
If we want a different future, we may need to begin by telling a different story about where humanity begins.
We’re inviting:
- Screenwriters
- Creative thinkers
- Story contributors
- Researchers
- Feedback partners
- Humanitarian-minded collaborators
No hierarchy. No gatekeeping. Just people bringing their insight, creativity, life experience, and heart into something larger than themselves.

Meet two of our protagonist from Birthing Humanity
Jake and Emma Love are two young people trying to make sense of a world that often feels disconnected, traumatized, and spiritually exhausted.
Jake works closely with individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, trauma, and mental illness. Day after day, he witnesses human suffering at its rawest edges, yet beneath the pain he continually sees something deeper—human potential waiting to be remembered.
Emma Love is a professor and cognitive neuroscientist at the University of San Francisco. Brilliant, grounded, and deeply compassionate, her work explores the relationship between the brain, human behavior, emotional development, and consciousness. Yet despite her scientific training, Emma begins sensing that many of humanity’s deepest questions cannot be answered by data alone.
As their relationship deepens and they begin considering the possibility of bringing a child into the world, they are confronted by a profound realization:
Humanity does not simply inherit eye color, language, or culture.
It also inherits trauma, emotional patterns, fear, disconnection… and perhaps genius, empathy, creativity, and love.
Together, Jake and Emma choose a different path.
Rather than unconsciously passing the past forward, they begin exploring what it might mean to consciously prepare the emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual environment surrounding the child to come.
What begins as a deeply personal journey slowly unfolds into something much larger:
A search for how humanity itself might heal—by becoming conscious of the beginning.

Revolutionizing Humanity: A Journey of Transformation
There is, beneath the surface of our culture, a quiet dread. A low hum of exhaustion born from an old story—one that tells us we are broken, divided, too far gone. We inherit headlines like heirlooms. We pass down anxiety as if it were tradition. And somewhere deep in the collective psyche, humanity wonders: Is this all we are?
Birthing Humanity answers with a resounding NO!
This is a refreshing love story—an Origin story—that dares to begin before conception. It asks the most intimate and the most revolutionary questions: As a family? As future parents? As human beings? What story do we choose to carry forward, and what debilitating story must we consciously let go of?
“Womb ecology is world ecology”
Dr. Thomas Verny
The Birthing Humanity Podcast and the Birthing Humanity film are two expressions of the same living idea—yet they serve different functions.
The movie is objective.
It tells a crafted story.
The podcast is intersubjective.
It invites you into the unfolding.
One shows.
The other engages.
And from the very beginning, we set the stage with a core principle: when hosting an origin story—whether personal or cultural—you place Rhythmic Transformation center stage. Expansion and contraction. Wounding and repair. Conflict and reconciliation. Death and renewal. This rhythm becomes the architecture woven through every emerging narrative from the inside out.
Together, through the podcast, we explore the ecology of everything—trauma and genius, the perpetrator–victim dynamic, moral imagination, relational repair, negative identity, peace, and cultural healing. Not as abstract ideas, but as living forces shaping our shared story.
Some inherited narratives—rooted in shame and fragmentation—are ready to dissolve. Not through denial, but through integration. When we bring opposites together under the banner of Love, grace, humanity, and true wisdom, something new becomes possible.
This is not self-help.
It is species-help.
The film tells a story about choosing to have a child.
The podcast invites us to choose—together—to begin again.
If you feel that pull, you are already part of the story.
Our goal is to make a movie and host a world class Podcast
