Intersection of Tech & Wellbeing/Mindfulness/Meditation (A Bhutan Experience)

​This session explores how technology, mindfulness, and human flourishing can meaningfully converge, drawing inspiration from Bhutan’s philosophy of Gross National Happiness and regenerative innovation.

​Join Christopher Pitcher and Bijay Niraula (ibriz.ai) for an intimate conversation on ethical technology, mindful system design, and how ancient wisdom traditions can inform the next generation of digital and cultural infrastructure. The discussion will touch on Bhutan’s evolving innovation landscape, regenerative hospitality, personal data sovereignty, and the design of transformational experiences that prioritize wellbeing over extraction.

​Designed for builders, technologists, creators, and conscious leaders, this session invites participants to rethink progress—not just as technological advancement, but as collective human flourishing.
