A Very Intelligent Evening

Brought to you by Mahasoma & Offline, The Podcast

Join Vedic meditation teacher and founder of Mahasoma, Laura Poole, and regenerative business mentor Alison Rice, for an expansive, thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and consciousness.

Together, Alison and Laura will unpack how we might align our personal values and ethics with the regenerative use of AI, question whether AI can ever be truly sentient, and explore ways to engage with this evolving technology as purpose-driven entrepreneurs, professionals and creators.

What to Expect

Arrive at 5:45pm to The Commons, check-in, and take the lift to Level 5, fix yourself some Love Tea, then settle in to some deep, offline chats before the formal conversation begins. You're welcome to gather on the rooftop for this hour, too. We recommend having dinner before you come or bringing some takeaway to eat on the rooftop before the talk begins.

Please take your seats by 6:50pm. Our conversation begins at 7pm. If you arrive later than 7pm there won't be access up the lift to the event. PLEASE ARRIVE BY 6:50PM AT THE LATEST.

Over the next hour and a half, Alison and Laura will share perspectives and stories designed to stretch your thinking and create a deeper, more evolutionary lens through which to view AI.

Our time together will conclude at 8:45pm. You'll leave with new friends and feel inspired to define what being in right relationship with this technology is going to look like for you.
