Workshops

What does it mean to remain human in the new age of artificial intelligence? In this immersive weekend workshop, we’ll explore this profound question together, journeying from awareness to empowerment to integration as we discover how to shape our relationship with AI while preserving what matters most.

Through hands-on AI demonstrations, creative labs, and experiential exercises, we’ll witness firsthand both the remarkable capabilities and profound implications of this technology. We’ll experiment with AI as a creative collaborator, experimenting with the technology in conscious ways. With somatic practices, guided meditation, and time in nature, we’ll envision the future we want, free from tech industry narratives about what’s “inevitable.”

Each session will blend practical exploration with deep reflection. Through live talks and demonstrations, group dialogue, and creative experimentation, we’ll explore AI’s current capabilities while staying grounded in embodied practices. Throughout the experience, we’ll integrate insights through authentic sharing and meaningful connection with one another, and with ourselves.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your personal AI Code of Practice, create conscious engagement with technology, and forge genuine connections with fellow participants. This workshop offers resources and perspectives to support you in bringing these meaningful conversations to your own communities, helping others find empowerment rather than overwhelm in our rapidly changing world.

Stuckness often lives deeper than thought. Many of us sense we are capable of more: more freedom, impact, honest expression, more generative relationships, more alignment with the life and work calling us forward. And yet, inherited rhythms live in the body: rhythms of culture, survival, and belonging that shape what feels safe, possible, or forbidden.

Join this weekend workshop on noticing the grooves you have inherited, shifting the patterns that no longer serve, and practicing new ways of being. In music, rhythm organizes movement, feeling, and attention. In life, our rhythms shape how we relate, create, lead, heal, and become.

During our time together, we will:

• Use reflective writing and prompts to identify inherited rhythms, default responses, and outdated survival strategies.
• Practice embodied awareness, conscious breathing, and gentle movement to cultivate presence, choice, and inner spaciousness.
• Engage in storytelling, witnessing, and peer coaching circles to be seen clearly, listen deeply, and practice new ways of relating.
• Explore music, rhythm, and creative play as tools for shifting automatic responses and rehearsing new possibilities.
• Create simple integration rituals and commitments that support continued becoming in life, leadership, relationships, and healing practice.

This experience is for anyone feeling stuck, limited, under-expressed, or ready to ask what’s next with more courage and clarity. It is for those seeking to move beyond inherited grooves and practice a more embodied, communal, and choiceful life. One rooted in creative healing and collective possibility.

Revolutionary findings in neuroscience have demonstrated that we can literally re-architect the very structure of our brains. In fact, we can even rewire our neurology to be more focused, calmer, and happier.

In this workshop, Dr. Shauna Shapiro — a leading scientist studying the effects of meditation on well-being — will teach you the most powerful science-based practices for increasing the neural pathways of happiness. She’ll explain basic brain science and offer a clear roadmap for living a joyful, connected, and meaningful life. Be prepared for unexpected transformation and delight.

During this weekend workshop, we’ll learn:

• Science-based practices to increase your baseline level of happiness.
• How to cultivate greater joy, gratitude, and connection.
• To integrate these practices into our everyday lives.

Your legacy is not just something you leave behind. It is something you create through the way you live each day. This is an invitation to reflect on the deeper impact of your life, relationships, work, creativity, and leadership — and to consciously embody the legacy you are here to live.

Through guided practices, storytelling, visioning, and transformational dialogue, participants will reconnect to what truly matters and align their lives with enduring meaning, authentic contribution, and purposeful action.

Together, we will explore questions such as:

• What is the unique contribution only you can make?
• How do you want the people you love to experience you today, not just remember you tomorrow?
• What values, wisdom, and way of being are you here to embody and pass forward?
• What old identities or stories are ready to be released so your authentic legacy can emerge?
• How do you live in a way that allows your presence to become your greatest gift?

Leave with greater clarity about the life you are creating, the relationships you are cultivating, and the enduring gifts you are already living. Whether your contribution is expressed through your family, community, creativity, leadership, service, or the way you show up each day, discover practical tools, renewed inspiration, and a deeper commitment to creating your living legacy.
