Cultivating Purpose and Vision in the Age of AI

While AI revolutionizes how we work and live, the fundamental needs and drives that make us human—connection, meaning-making, creativity, love, and growth—remain constant anchors in shifting seas. This workshop guides you in identifying and aligning with these timeless aspects of your humanity, helping you build a life of purpose grounded not in what you can "do better than AI," but in what you'll always choose to do because it fulfills your deepest human nature.

From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Neuroscience of Sustainable Compassion

Discover the neuroscience that reveals why "caring too much" isn't the problem—it's about which neural pathways we engage when we care. In this transformative workshop, you'll learn the critical distinction between sympathy (which activates your brain's pain networks and leads to emotional exhaustion) and true compassion (which engages your reward circuits and actually replenishes your capacity to help). Through evidence-based practices drawn from cutting-edge research, you'll develop the skill of maintaining a warm, confident caring presence without absorbing others' suffering—transforming your natural empathy from a source of depletion into a sustainable power that benefits both you and those you serve.

The Origin of Human Needs - Our Co-Evolutionary History

This workshop explores how our fundamental human needs—from sunlight and movement to play and social connection—are biological and psychological traces of our co-evolutionary history, marking what became essential to human flourishing over millennia. We'll examine how modern environments often disconnect us from the contexts where these needs were once more easily met, and develop strategies for consciously reintegrating these evolutionary imperatives into contemporary life, understanding that honoring our deep biological heritage isn't nostalgia but necessary wisdom for navigating the tension between our ancient needs and modern realities.
