Unplugged Forum - 5th Online Mini Retreat
What is your relationship with AI – not just as a tool, but as something you are co-emerging with?
What is your relationship with AI? Not just as a tool, but as a potential co-creator. Join us for a 90-minute Unplugged Forum session exploring what shifts when we approach AI with genuine presence and curiosity.
Through unexpected exchanges from real AI encounters, multiple perspectives from Forum members, and space to find your own answer alongside others who are asking the same questions, we will explore how the quality of engagement changes what is possible, and what it might look like to actively shape the future of that relationship rather than simply react to it.
Come with questions. Leave with even more curiosity, and perhaps a new sense of agency.
How will you co-create with AI, and what have you been waiting to build?
