AI is eating the world.
Whether you think that's bad, good, or a third more complex position, one thing is clear:
Humans won't adapt by becoming more machine-like.
We will adapt by becoming more human.
More connected to ourselves and our innate capacity for sensing our environment, feeling our feelings, our intuition, our embodied wisdom.
We will adapt by cultivating an intimacy with ourselves and each other.
More connected to one another and our communities.
More connected to nature, to all the nonhuman beings all around us, and all the inorganic forces and elements that comprise and permeate everything.
More connected to the current of Life that runs through each and every one of us.
We will adapt by cultivating an intimacy with Life itself.
This is what I call Collective Sapience - the practices for being deeply human together, especially in this age of AI and exponential technology, as we stand at the precipice of systems collapse and mass extinction.
This Fall, I am co-organizing a retreat where we will practice the PsychoTechnologies of Collective Sapience (a fancy term for these spiritual and non-spiritual practices for being human together).
We will go deep into cutting edge techniques in Collective Intelligence, meditation, embodiment, shadow work, collective decision making, as well as nature immersion, physical exercise, singing around the campfire, and my favourite new addition to my spiritual practice toolkit - ecstatic dance.
We're going to have a number of experienced facilitators and an exciting and diverse program.
The retreat will take place in a beautiful natural setting in Wells Gray, BC, Canada on September 22-25.
Spaces are limited, and we are offering a small number of early bird tickets.
Reserve your spot HERE.
Looking forward to hanging out in person!
