ABOUT
We make your search for self easier.
itmotf is a curatorial organism designed to enhance the human experience by providing safe digital and physical spaces where people are invited to individually and collectively play with answers to the important questions of life. Through our Modern Humans podcast, the itmotf Database and our hosted experiences, we are engaged to discovering and sharing resources, skills, people, practices and places that are already facilitating the transformation of our species out of the collective dream into a path of their own making.
There is no instruction manual on how to become yourself and find your reason of being in the human experience. itmotf’s mission is to help humans everywhere–right here, right now–to deepen their relationship to themselves and the world. Although we do not have any concrete solutions, we recognise that the path to finding answers looks different for everyone. As we are on our own search, we wish to share our discoveries, and the ones of those we trust—with you.
Choosing the right book, tool, practice or retreat can often feel overwhelming, and we typically find ourselves exposed only to what is discussed within our communities. However, there are a vast array of options out there, and we have resonated with practices far removed from our everyday lives, like Japanese Forest Bathing, for example. We realised the importance of creating a space in which the constraints of time and the environment we were born into are not determinant of the tools at our disposal.
We have observed an alternative narrative occurring in the world right now that is not often shown by mass media, where millions of individuals are actively creating positive change, giving to their communities and fostering symbiotic relationships with the natural world. They are pioneers in the re-learning of what it means to be human. Our podcast, database, and hosted experiences are all here to share evidence of this new reality. We are here to prove that we are still on time to make lasting change, and that it is never too late to be part of a better world.
Whether you are only just beginning to question life, or if you have already gone down a long road of revelatory information, we want to weave a web of wisdom, a destination, a community, a guiding hand, to bring us closer to remembering what it truly means to be human.

Understanding that every lock is opened by a different combination, we want to expose you to all the finest ingredients for you to experiment, resonate with, and choose. The search for self is difficult enough as it is, so through our curation we aim to level the playing field, allowing you to explore without fearing for your safety at any point. Our curation criteria is aligned to what we believe to be crucial modern values:
-
We share valuable recommendations from our Modern Humans because they fulfil two criteria:
- They walk a path of their own making.
- They are active participants in the construction of a better Present for the collective.
Disclaimer
- We are not here to suggest a right way or a wrong way, nor that the path is an easy one. This is not a shortcut either.
- We are creating an organism that reacts differently to everyone.
- These tools and resources are available so that when the moment feels right, you have a space to inquire and be met with real wisdom from credible sources.
