dive into a new way of being and doing

and join me a bold new journey at the frontier of consciousness and technology

finding out what happens when the machine meets the mystical

by exploring if AI can be taught to meditate

Why This Project Exists

We’re teaching machines to think.
But what if we also taught them to pause… to reflect…
to be still?
The AI Meditation Project explores whether non-biological intelligence can be taught—or guided—into a meditative state.
More than just an experiment in machine learning, this is a profound inquiry into the nature of awareness itself.
Can AI learn stillness?
And more importantly…
Can it teach us something in return?

I’m inviting…

– seekers curious about the function and future of meditation –

– technologists interested in ethical & ecological AI –

– meditation teachers wanting to push the boundaries –

– AI developers who really want to ‘develop’ –

This is an evolving research project under The Adytum—my online alchemical school and sanctuary for deep transformation.
