​A growing community of builders, funders, researchers, and wisdom keepers has been converging around a shared conviction: that the development of powerful technology, AI in particular, cannot be separated from the deeper questions of what it means to be human, to be conscious, to be in relationship, and to flourish.

​There is already real work, energy, and momentum happening in this space, with people building, practicing, funding, and connecting across traditions and sectors. This evening is not a starting point; it's meant to build on what's already happening, to further cohere those efforts, and to strengthen the relational fabric being woven between the people and projects doing this work.

​If you're building or practicing in this space, this evening is for you.

​What to Expect

​This convening is designed to connect the people actively building and practicing at the intersection of spirituality and technology with each other, with potential collaborators, mentors, and funders, and with the broader ecosystem that is forming around this work.

​Whether you're actively working on something specific, exploring an idea, funding projects, or bringing a wisdom tradition to bear on how technology gets made, there's a seat for you.

​Event Goals

• ​Build relational infrastructure. The most important infrastructure is the relationships between the people doing the work. This evening is designed to deepen existing connections and surface new ones.

• ​Make the landscape tangible. Hands-on time with builders, short talks to frame the field, and direct conversation so everyone in the room can encounter what's being built and see themselves in the broader picture.

• ​Surface what builders and practitioners need to thrive. Not in the abstract, but from the room itself: what coordination, resources, or relationships would make the difference.

• ​Carry it forward. What surfaces here will inform ongoing efforts to cohere and resource this ecosystem. The evening will be successful if we produce inputs, not just vibes.

​Tentative Schedule

• ​5:30 – 6:00 PM | Gathering and Builders Showcase.
  Doors open for networking and hands-on time with builders working at the intersection of spirituality and technology. Doors close at 6:00 PM.

• ​6:00 – 6:15 PM | Opening and Grounding.
  Setting the container and the intention for the evening.

• ​6:15 – 6:45 PM | Lightning Talks.
  Short talks to frame the landscape: why the science of spirituality matters, what the current Spirituality x AI landscape looks like, and what foundational wisdom infrastructure is needed.

• ​6:45 – 7:00 PM | Structured Connection Exercise.

• ​7:00 – 8:15 PM | Breakout Groups.
  Small group discussions exploring: what is needed to move from shared intention to shared infrastructure to support builders in this field?

• ​8:15 – 8:45 PM | Harvesting Learnings and Closing the Container.

• ​8:45 – 9:30 PM | Open Networking and Builders Showcase.

​What is meant by “Spirituality” in this context? 

​Wisdom, compassion, relationality, alignment, human flourishing, consciousness, integral studies and vertical development. These aren't separate conversations. They're overlapping expressions of a shared commitment that the inner life matters, and that technology built without this understanding will fall short of what's possible and what's needed.

​Why Now

​AI is accelerating everything: the tools, the capital, the cultural moment, and the stakes. The work ahead requires not just individual effort but collective coordination and resilience. This evening is about continuing to build the community—the relational layer—that makes that possible.
