/ The Journey

What we'll explore

These are questions worth living with. Over 5 days we'll sit with them together, honestly, in our bodies.

Over 5 days we'll use somatic experience, sensorial attunement, performance and deep presence to explore these questions, and to become re-enchanted with the extraordinary mystery of being alive.

01

What kind of relationships are we forming with artificial minds, and what do they reflect about us?

02

Can embodied awareness guide us toward technology that serves life rather than depletes it?

03

Are we already cyborgian, and can we consciously shape that evolution?

04

Rather than escape or submission, what does poetic integration actually look like?

Echoes & Impressions

The question is not whether machines will think, but whether humans will remember how to feel.

Opening reflection

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.
