We create experiences that help us better understand ourselves, connect with each other and become more intentional about how we live.
Through workshops, programs, conversations and shared experiences, Making It Human® explores what shapes who we are — and what it means to experience life for ourselves.
We experience life before we understand it.
Every experience leaves something with us.
It shapes what we believe, how we see ourselves, how we connect with others and how we respond to the world around us.
Some experiences strengthen us. Others challenge us. And sometimes, when life no longer feels quite right, it isn’t because something is wrong.
Something may simply be asking to change.
Making It Human® creates space to explore those experiences — together.
So we can understand what shapes us and experience life for ourselves.
The Making It Human® Experience.
The Making It Human® Experience is designed to connect us more deeply to ourselves, each other and the way we live.
Our Framework
The 7 Essential Human Experiences®
A framework for understanding what we need to flourish.
At the heart of Making It Human® are seven experiences I believe are fundamental to being human:
Authenticity. Belonging. Growth. Love. Meaning. Purpose. Safety.
These experiences shape how we see ourselves, how we connect, how we navigate change and how we experience our lives. Understanding them gives us another way to understand what may be happening beneath the surface — and what we may need more of.
Why Making It Human?
BECAUSE CHANGE ISN’T ONLY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS. IT’S ABOUT WHAT IT CHANGES IN US.
Making It Human® was founded by Scarlett Vespa, creator of The 7 Essential Human Experiences®.
After more than thirty years working across creativity, media, business, leadership and human development, Scarlett began to see the same pattern:
Understanding can change how we think. Experience can change how we live.
Making It Human® brings that thinking to life through experiences designed to help us understand ourselves, connect more deeply and become more intentional about what comes next.
