🎬 MMV: How Neuroscience x Gen AI x Spiritual Wisdom help paraplegic walk again
Happy 2026 Conscious Tech enthusiasts! ✨
CTC is coming out of a quarter long hiatus. This week, we welcome Eric & Christian from MMV to share their heart-warming & soul-enlightening work for the past 2 years that marry Neuroscience principles x Spiritual wisdom x Gen AI tools to help people realize life transformations from motivating students to imagine dream careers to supporting a paraplegic's recovery journey to walk again!
Check out their amazing stories here. Bring a tissue box:

In Eric's own words:
"We're opening the doors for an evening to share what we've been building. Manifest Movies is a personalized ecosystem for transformation — custom cinematic films of your future self, an AI companion for emotional support, and vision boards that put your dreams everywhere you look. Come experience the product, hang with founders and builders, and leave with a clear vision to manifest!"
Join us for an intimate demo of MMV's ecosystem of products - including a new AI agent for inner alignment coaching - Becca (she's fabulous), do some new year's intention setting, give MMV some live feedback. As always, hope it'll be casual, honest, curious, and generative for everyone!

What is Conscious Tech?
"Conscious Tech" has a two-fold meaning:
1. Technology that expands consciousness, on an individual or collective level, towards mindful loving compassion, and flourishing. (e.g. mental health tech, tech for caring, tech for spiritual awakening & wisdom).
2. Technology that are crafted with conscious intent and process and a truly life-centric orientation, minding the complex systemic dynamics that a product and service reside in. (e.g. calm tech, ambient computing, natural gesture interfaces)
What is CTC? We are a 2.5 year-old multidisciplinary innovators' community - from backgrounds such as neuroscience, engineering, brain-computer interface (BCI), human-comuter interaction design (HCI), psychotherapy, arts, plant medicine, somatic healing, and other ancient wisdom practices. We come from academic, industry, and startup contexts and gather weekly in person in San Francisco, and go on excursions to other parts of the world.
Together, we explore shared concerns and curiosities about the impact of a new wave of emerging technologies on human well-being: from AI to next-gen BCI and biosensors, and more. We contextualize them with ancient wisdom technologies such as plant medicine and meditation to advance our research and innovation projects, holistically. We aim to channel technology's power to heal our connections to Self, Each other, and the Planet.
We advocate for the ethical research, design, and development of well-being-focused products and services - enabled by emerging technology. We also advocate for systems change - positive futures where Technology and Capital support human and planetary flourishing. Not the other way around. We want to contribute to an economy that's regenerative, life-sustaining, and positive-sum, not extractive.
Our 4 pillars of action are:
1. Community Building
2. Translational Research
3. Innovator Support
4. Product Incubation
