Cultivating Authentic Intelligence (the Other AI)
Led by Dave Smith
In an age of algorithmic certainty and digital noise, we have entered a "crisis of meaning" where purpose
feels like a relic of a forgotten world. While Artificial Intelligence processes information, Authentic
Intelligence cultivates meaning.
This multi-day program is designed to help you get "untrapped." It is a move away from the artificial and
toward an "ecology of practices" that actually works. We aren’t looking for a single, simple fix; instead,
we are conducting an honest inquiry into what it truly means to be human.
