Subversive Acts of Humanity: A Survivial Guide for Choosing Evolution Over Self-Destruction
Subversive Acts of Humanity
What if the smallest, most radical thing you could do to change the world was to be more deeply human?
In Subversive Acts of Humanity, Ken Breniman explores the quiet, revolutionary power of compassion, connection, and courage. Blending primate wisdom, psychology, history, and personal storytelling, this book invites readers to rethink what it means to be human in a world that often demands detachment. Through thought-provoking insights and engaging exercises, you’ll discover how small, subversive acts—whether through touch, laughter, grief, or love—can create lasting social change.
This is a book for healers, seekers, and everyday revolutionaries—those who believe that humanity’s best future lies not in domination, but in collaboration, curiosity, and care.

Join the (r)evolution. Be boldly, subversively human.

What if embracing the inevitability of death allowed you to focus on what's truly important?
What if your past experiences held the key to a more peaceful future?
Through yoga, psychedelic integration, and grief work, Ken Breniman helps others navigate life’s transitions with deep presence and ancestral wisdom. Grounded in science, ritual, and the cycles of nature, his approach honors the full spectrum of human experience. This is a journey of remembrance, healing, and awakening to the sacred in every moment.
Welcome to Mindfully Mortal

Hi, I’m Ken, a guide for spiritual seekers in Oakland, California.
Drawing on two decades of experience in social work, psychotherapy, yoga therapy, and thanatology (the study of death), I help individuals tap into non-ordinary mind states, so they can see their struggles from a different perspective.
If you’re experiencing a major life challenge and you aren’t sure how to move forward, or you simply aren’t where you wish you were in life, I’m here to guide you out of that stuck place.
