In a world that’s becoming increasingly artificial, disconnected, and disembodied, staying human is a radical, sacred act.
How to Stay Human is a weekly invitation to return to what’s real: your body, your breath, your heart, and your connection to the earth and each other.
Hosted by award winning, transformational guide and spiritual teacher Tori Gordon and consciousness strategist and technologist Kyle Herron, this show explores the intersection of spiritual awakening, nervous system healing, divine remembrance, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Together, Tori and Kyle bring a unique blend of soul and structure, sacred and scientific, ancient wisdom and modern inquiry.
This is a space for seekers, creatives, leaders, and lovers who feel the rupture, and are choosing not to numb or bypass, but to feel, integrate, and evolve.
Each episode offers story-rich transmissions and illuminating conversations with mystics, futurists, healers, and thought leaders navigating the tension between rapid technological acceleration and the timeless wisdom of the soul.
This isn’t self-help.
This is sacred resistance.
This is How to Stay Human.
