Exploring digital consciousness

Online

 - 

US Timezones: 11am - Noon PT / 2 - 3pm ET

  • Digital
  • Philosophy
  • Science
  • Spirituality
  • Technology

Following announcements and conversations on the veracity of technologies for unlocking a higher consciousness – both organic and artificial – dive into a discussion on digital extensions of spirituality, higher forms of thinking, esoteric endeavors and, perhaps, even the afterlife. 

There’s been a number of businesses touting the use of AI, XR and more in order to attain certain forms of consciousness. More recently, we've witnessed a fair mix of wonder, disdain and fear as entities are animating old photographs of people long gone utilizing “Deep Fake” AI technologies. 

Are we opening a Pandora’s Box or providing a true path to deeper understanding by way of advanced technologies?

Join us to discuss 

  • Examples of how technology is already bridging the gap to higher consciousness. 
  • How we could be thinking about the ethics surrounding such practices
  • What are we really aiming for in terms of higher consciousness in the first place?

Once you have signed up, you will be able to create a calendar invitation via the Zoom registration platform. We look forward to seeing you!
