The RelaXi Curator Lab 001: How We Relax Through Time
Welcome to The RelaXi Curator Lab, a private preview for creators and thinkers shaping a new way to relax.
Join us on Wednesday, August 5, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Mechanics’ Institute, a historic San Francisco cultural institution founded in 1854, for an intimate afternoon with creators, designers, researchers, founders, and cultural tastemakers from across San Francisco and the Bay Area.
This first edition introduces RelaXi 001: How We Relax Through Time.
RelaXi is defining a new way to relax in the age of AI: a curated multisensory platform and intellectual network for mental, physical, and social wellbeing, where people discover, learn, practice, and remember what helps them relax.
Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, RelaXi challenges the status quo: emotion is not another KPI to optimize. Emotion is sensory and worth listening to.
Centered on How We Relax Through Time, RelaXi 001 explores how people across eras and cultures have used places, sounds, objects, rituals, and connection to relax, respond to pressure, preserve memory, and relate to time differently.
This special afternoon invites guests into RelaXi’s world through neuroscience, history, product exploration, sensory curation, and thoughtful conversation.
What to Expect
• 🧠 The RelaXi Founder’s Thesis: Why emotion is sensory, how the senses shape the way we feel, and why knowing how to relax matters in the age of AI.
• 🕰️ RelaXi 001 Preview: A visual journey across eras and cultures, exploring how people have used the senses to relax and live with time.
• 📱 The RelaXi Product Preview: A first look at emotional intentions, sensory routes, and Capsules across digital, physical, and social experiences.
• 🧭 Curate a Capsule: See how your taste, knowledge, research, playlist, place, ritual, or idea can become a Capsule that others can discover, practice, and remember.
• 🤝 Conversation and Connection: Meet creators, researchers, designers, founders, and cultural tastemakers exploring new ways to relax and live with time.
Who This Is For
• 🎨 Creators, artists, photographers, filmmakers, and designers
• 🏛️ Interior designers, home-living creators, vintage lovers, and object curators
• 📚 Book, film, music, travel, food, and city tastemakers
• 🧠 Researchers, neuroscientists, founders, business owners, and experience builders
You do not need to work in traditional wellness. Curiosity is the only requirement: an interest in what helps people slow down, reconnect, discover, remember, or experience time differently.
